bird

We had an interesting visitor in the house yesterday.  I was working in the office and thought I heard a strange noise downstairs.  Wasn't sure exactly what it was or where it was coming from, but it had me a little freaked out.  After hearing it a couple more times I decided it sounded like a bird in the basement.  Called Mike at work, he said there was no way a bird could get into the basement...  He was going to come home and check it out at lunch time, but I decided I could survive the rest of the day.  When he got home from work he went around checking things out and found nothing, but later on in the evening after I heard it again he opened the basement door and guess what came out??  Yup, a bird.  So, now I'm stuck in the chair feeding the boys, and Mike's trying to get a bird out of the house.  He let Macy in and she helped.  The bird left a little evidence of it's visit behind, but otherwise we made it through the ordeal just fine.

Broke down and bought some new running shoes today.  I am so Dutch.  I KNOW having good shoes is important, it's just so hard to spend the money!  :)  Now we're considering a good, used jogging stroller - that'll make it a little easier for me to still get some running in as Mike gets busier at work and is less available to stay with the boys.

Speaking of which, Caleb and Logan are sleeping in separate cribs for the first time!!  They took their evening nap in separate cribs, and now this will be the first overnight.  So far they seem okay.  I thought they would miss each other.  But, I guess they don't really miss the other one kicking them...

It is 9:30pm and Mike is out mowing the lawn.  Last Saturday he finished after 10pm.  There's just no other time to do it!  He enjoys it though (at least he says he does).
