Chaos

Tonight we watched the 3 M's for a while until Scott got off work. The kids were all playing together well, and Scott came to get them around 7:30. At about the same time, our next door neighbor came by to give us some mail he had gotten by mistake. While he talked with Jeff at the door, a bird that had been napping in the wreath decided to come in our house to look around. AAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!

This poor little sparrow was so lost! Jeff, Scott and our neighbor all came in and tried to catch the little guy - or at least guide him back out one of the doors. He flew around here for at least 15 minutes! He ran into several things, including the ceiling. The windows were open in the living room, so Scott went outside and took the screens off. At one point, the bird flew out one window and right back in the next one.

Meanwhile, all 5 kids are screaming and running around every time the bird moved. It was absolute chaos in here!! Finally, the bird flew out the back door. There were tiny feathers everywhere in here - including on the ceiling. Luckily, he didn't make any messes worse than the feathers!
