I stayed up sewing last night with my mom until 1:30 am. Usually when I'm super tired, Kendra wakes up super early. This morning was no exception! We had some breakfast, watched Winnie the Pooh, changed a poopy diaper & gave K a bath. The little red-head in charge decided it was time for "OUTSIDE" so she grabbed her Elmo slippers and out we went. That's when I noticed the dog poop so I grabbed a shovel & began my hunt.
I made my way around the house with SUCCESS times four. That's when I let the 3-legged dog out. With 2 dogs, a cat & Kendra at my side we headed back around the house. Still on the look out for poop, I glanced down at a dark spot in the grass. It was a brand new baby bird. It got washed out of the rain gutter last night in the storm. I scooped it up & ran inside to show my mom (like I'm 5 years old). Now don't get me wrong, she's a compassionate person but not so much towards animals.....of any kind. She looked at me like I was crazy & then said "I am NOT holding that". But I needed a picture so I finally talked her into it. Grandma helped K hold it too, she was big stuff. Then just as we were done taking pictures & just as mama D was about to hand it off...........yep, you guessed it...........it POOPED! {classic}

Let me take a minute here so I can LMAO............aaahhhhaaaaa! Mom was gagging & I was laughing hysterical!
I finally got the bird back into the nest with it's 3 brothers/sisters. My sweet mother says it will probably just die but I like to think it was divine intervention that I saved a life today. I'll keep you all posted but right now duty calls........just kidding! I know, I know Mr. Nicholas - girls don't POOP!!
Safe & Sound
