The Monkey Song

Here is Garrett's new favorite song. It's along the lines of the "other monkey song" 5 little monkeys. Here is an interpretation of the song!!

"3 little monkeys swinging in a tree, teasing Mr Alligator "you can't catch me"" {then the alligator approaches} "CHOMP!! Get those monkeys out of the tree!"

because I'm lazy

If your seeing this your probably thinking "what in the world?". Well- Kevin and I changed our living room around today (don't know what kind of mood I'm in...but I'm in one!). Anyway - posting here is easier than e-mailing the pics to a few select people....so here ya go!!! :)

Meet Tweet, Chirp, Shrimp, and Alvin

Yes, those are the names of our newest family members...the birds. I came up with Tweet and Chirp (appropriate I think), Kevin came up with Shrimp (??????), and Garrett came up with Alvin (UGH)!!

Backstory and sidenote, my mother-in-law would love the fact that her grandson just "named" his bird Alvin. See this is a long time family battle - while pregnant she wanted me to name Garrett....you guessed it Alvin, as in Alvin and the Chipmunks. Don't get me started ;). Thank goodness she doesn't have the internet!! :)

Anyway - back to our birds. Everyday since Monday a new bird has hatched - today making our new family complete! They are just to cute!!

Life (Edited)

When we arrived home from Florida a few weeks ago we noticed that a bird flew out of the decorative bucket I have hanging on the front door - upon inspection this is what we saw.....



Now, ordinarily I would have had an eviction (quoting my Mother here) - however there were already 4 eggs and I just couldn't do that. So - for the past few weeks we have been very careful using the front door (and ducking when walking up on the porch in order to avoid the Momma bird flying out). Today when Kevin got home he looked in to see a baby bird! Garrett called me on my way home so excited saying "baby birdy Mommy".



How's this for a lesson of life?! We are excited to have our little bird family! I'll post more pictures as more birds hatch and as they grow.

**My Mother wanted me to clarify that she only holds evictions during the construction process, not after the nest has been sold and moved in to!!! :)
