~Attack of the Birds~

We are having a problem with birds at my house, a serious problem.  I'm not joking here ladies and gentlemen.  See, we have this Mud Swallow nest that is up in the corner of the over hang of my porch (see picture) and the rest of the Mud Swallow population of my whole neighborhood thinks it is a safe Haven now!  Check out these pictures and you'll see what I'm talking about!!

And my poor kitty, Badge is just being driven crazy by all these birds.  See, the birds only come in the morning.  And he sits on a recliner chair and just stares out the window!!  Poor Buddy- He just 'chitters' at them and swings his tail, it drives him Nuts!

The following pictures should be straight out of Alfred's movie, "The Birds", I kid you not...  Just check out what I'm talking about :)
    

    

Pretty crazy huh??  I just can't wait for the babies in the nest to fly away so that we can knock down the nest to get rid of those bugger of birds!!

Anywho, yesterday's errands didn't go as we had originally planned.  But hey, does anything?  See, yesterday afternoon, our garage door came off the tracks and couldn't close!  Derek had managed (with the help of my mom) to roll it up and get his Cop Car out, but wasn't able to close it!!  Derek called this guy that fixes garage doors after he is off of work- from a garage door company- but we didn't know if he'd make it that evening.

So, my mom and I decided that we'd meet at the mall after I got off of work.  She left the garage door open and just looked the back door... Lol.  We felt kinda weird leaving the house like that, because Derek had gone off to work, but what other choice did we have??  We needed to get things done!

Too make a very long story, short, we eventually got things done at the mall, but as we were headed out to Target, Derek called.  He informed me that we needed to get home to meet the guy to fix our door!  Ugh.  So, Rowan will have to wait for her backpack and school stuff until this afternoon!!
   

She was a little bummed out, but the new shoes YaYa got her made her a Happy Girl.  Oh yes.  Rowan is a Big Girl now too.  She is actually sleeping in her bedroom all night long now!  Its great.  I don't have to fight her for My bed.  lol... And she goes to sleep with a lot less fight than usual!  I think its because we told her if she wants to be a Big Girl and go to School, that she needs to sleep in her own bed... Harsh, yes, but its working ;)

Isn't she just a doll?  She is a very precious little girl.  She is totally in love with her brother too!  She loves to feed him, help change his diaper and hold him!  In fact, my mom and I believe she actually 'talks' to her brother and knows what he wants.  Now, don't go thinking I'm all crazy or what not, but that is just how we feel.  They are very close... As close as a 3 year old and 4 month old can be!  My mom actually just IM'ed me and told me that Zachary had fallen asleep laying next to his sister on the couch... According to her, Rowan was delighted!!
   

Well, I've got a bunch of things to do today.  Things I actually need to accomplish... lol.  So, I hope all of you will have a wonderful Thursday!!  Hopefully the sun will be shining down on you, because it isn't here!!  Haha...
