Trash to Treasure

The kids were very excited to learn about recycling in school. SO for FHE we worked on their projects. We saved quite a bit of recycled items to be used. Zach made a cool helicopter and I put it in a sack for him so he could take it to school. Well Thursday morning is trash day so I gathered up the trash in the house and had the kids take it out. UMMMMMMM well at first I thought I had thrown it away. But come to find out I put it in Caleb's backpack and he left it at school (broken). I honestly cannot even remember putting it in there. I'm losing it. They say you lose a certain amount of brain cells per child. Do you think I even have any left now? SO we actually had to "borrow" some trash from Andrea. How many times have you called someone up to borrow their trash? Poor Zach. We ended up doing something very simple but he was OK with it and can't wait to actually hang it up in the tree for the birds to use. He made a cute bird feeder. Thanks for the ideas Sue. Caleb knew what he wanted to do and we gathered all the things on Monday and then finished it all up tonight. He actually did an awesome job and it took quite a bit of time painting and glueing and cutting. But here are their final projects.
