three little girls and some robins

Tuesday my friend Cortney asked me to keep her adorable little 5 mth old daughter Anne Catherine. Little did i know that robins ( yes the birds) would be my hardest part of the day.

The day went a little something like this...

Cortney dropped her off at 8:30 and left me a schedule for the day which was great and no lie that sweet little girl did exactly what the note said! While the "big" girls were asleep AC and I were playing in the front room. I had the door open for Maddie to come in and out and for us to get some fresh air. All of a sudden i hear a crazy amount of flapping and window hitting.

I look over into my sunroom and there are birds, yes birds going nutso in my sunroom. AC heard her first curse word as she was swept up quickly, not to be attacked of course. Maddie runs in there and is jumping at them and I kept trying to get her away thinking I would have fainted if she caught one! ugh i just got the hebe gibbies thinking about it. They proceed to knock into my windows and poop all over the place, the walls, the floor and the chairs. I had no clue what to do.

Then one fell to the ground on its back, i thought it died but not to worry, it didn't, it just knocked itself out because when i started to the sunroom he hopped right up and started flying to the fan... AC heard her second curse word...I decided to go outside, where i thought i would be safe from the birds...sounds kind of silly if you think about it because now i was outside with the rest of them... anyway i noticed my neighbors yard guys were there so i went to ask them if they could help me. He looked at me like i was crazy, i guess he thought i was a "desperate housewife" or something. He goes"uh, i don't really know what to do" and i said i don't either but i have a baby in my arms and your a guy, do you have a broom or a leaf bag? He decided to get a leaf bag and come to the rescue. After a few minutes he shooed one out and later caught the other one with the bag, genius plan. I continued to apologize, i am sure that is not his job description, but he was very nice and said it was no problem. The End

The girls were great though. Anne Catherine is on a great schedule which made things so easy and she didn't shed one tear and then Ramsey decided to walk!! yay she took 6 steps! I have yet to video it but when i do don't you worry i will post it :)
