little birdie

crazy! dave had been in florida all of last week, so one night garret , brenna and i went to kay and georges for dinner. i forgot to leave any lights on for us when we got back home. i was getting the kids into the bathtub and kept hearing stange noises in my bedroom. i was starting to freak out, then i recognized the noise and it was a bird flapping around!!! my room was pitch black and i was afraid to walk across the room to the lamp for fear of a bird landing on my head and pecking my eyes out. anyways, i worked up the courage to get to the light and this is what i saw. a poor baby bird, scared to death. you may be asking... how did the bird get in her room? well we just exposed a an old fireplace in our room that was previously boared and drywalled over. when we opened it up, it was just a big hole up to the sky. in the spring birds like to build their nests up at the top of oour chimneys and i guess this little guy fell in.

so after we got brenna into bed, garret and i braved the bedroom and tried to rescue the bird. i was able to genlty put a towel around it and then pull him off the curtain. i let garret hold him for a little while and then we let me go outside. dont know if he made it or not. he was pretty disoriented. he kept flying towards light and bumping into things. :( anyway, just one of our many adventures while dad is out of town.
