Freebird

Tweet. Tweet. Hey, you. I said, TWEEEEEEET!

We found a bird in our upstairs hallway this afternoon. A real. live. bird. He had pooped all over my historic postcard of Paunzhausen. With the constant tweeting, I first thought he had gotten caught in the chimney and warned Sophia we might not be able to do the fire tonight at her birthday slumber party after all.

Bird "There's a bird in there," I calmly stated. Then I looked to my left and saw he was pooping on my hand basket.

My husband, the biologist, viewed the bird liberation as a welcome challenge after running errands all day with the kids. Quick as lightning, he got a sheet, covered the windowsill, and ushered the bird outside.

What a hero. As I scrubbed the poop-stained floors, all I kept hearing was "I'm as a free as a bird now..."

Free the bird. Anybody got a lighter so I can thrust it upwards concert-style as I sing?

How adorable is this?

So I'm a little slow on the uptake. I don't get American TV. The little horse's name is Thumbelina. She was born a dwarf and has been named The World's Smallest Horse by the Guiness Book of World Records, measuring just 17 1/2 inches high and 56 pounds. From May to November of this year, she has travelled 40,000 miles with her owner to visit ill children. If you haven't smiled yet today, you will.
