Bat House

So we finally got around to painting our bat house today, and although we didn't necessarily need to paint it, Daddy was inspired by Madison's recent attraction to all things Batman. So he got out the black and yellow paint and went to work. Holy bat houses, Madison! It didn't turn out that bad - in fact, it looks pretty good. Check it out:

Also, check out where we put it up. That's the tricky part. Daddy borrowed Ye-Ye's really tall ladder, because these bat houses have to go pretty high up. With some help from Mommy and Madison, we got the new bat residence hanging pretty high up on the side of the house, following the specific requirements set down by people who know a lot more about bats than we do. Here's a photo of it, hanging up:

Of course, we don't expect bats to move in there tonight. But there will be a neat moment some time in the future where it will happen, and of course we'll keep you posted here!
