Bluebird Intruder and Other Tales

One morning last week, I came in to our front room with Vienna.  There was a sudden clatter around the fireplace. Of course I freaked out since I'm so jumpy.  I settled down and saw a prisoned blue bird. Not nearly as scary as a mouse, snake, or fox, but still- 

After several failed attempts to jump/fly out, it sat quietly staring at our morning routine,

And Cambry stared right on back at it. Devin had to leave for school, and I wasn't about to have a terrified bird flying around my house terrifying all the 3 girls. So I simply went to story time and errands as planned with the little ones, came back, did snacks and tucked the girls in bed.  Bird time. I put on my gloves and ski coat- hood and all, closed all my blinds and opened my back door.  I was so scared!!! haha.  I opened the fireplace doors and the bird hopped to the back corner, so I got the fireplace poker and started prodding.  Finally, the bird jumped out and flew right out the back door (of course I let out an involuntary scream).  Jos 1, Nature 0. 

Good morning miss Sunshine.  It's always a surprise what C's hair is going to look like after sleeping.  This one looked a little more like "Toddlers in Tiares" than normal.  She's such a cutie.

Beep Beep! Out of the way- 3 new teeth coming in up top (what a joy that has been at 4 am!). She's so dang cute, we'll keep her.
