You know you need to clean more often...

when you find a birds nest in your kids bedroom!


Saturday I decided to clean Abigails room. I mean REALLY clean it. I decided to take everything out of her room to sweep and mop the floors, wash the walls and give it a full spring cleaning.

As I was moving Ab's Stuffed Animal tree out of her room I noticed that there was a thick pile of leaves stuck between the wall and the tree, I was about to yell at Abigail (yet again) when I realized there were A LOT of leaves and that they were all stuck together. BRAVELY I used my broom to knock them to the floor, and this is when I noticed it was a nest. A little internet research and I learend it was a Carolina Wrens next. Luckily there were no birds or eggs in it!

The nest was relocated to a safe location and I spent Saturday afternoon DISINFECTING Abigails room. She is now happily playing and sleeping in a newly cleaned and bird(and nest) free room!

Election Day

No matter who you support or want to be the next president, everyone agrees that today will be an election that will change the country for the next four years. Today we went to vote. While this is Abigail's 4th time going to the polls, I think it is the first time that she was aware of any of the canidates. There is something magical about watching your child participate in politics for the first time. Here are some pictures from today. and if you had not had a chance to talk to Abigail about who she was going to vote for this election...her it is, in her own words.


Happy Election Day to all!!

New Set of wheels!!

The Easter bunny came early here (via Grandma). Abigail got a brand new Kettler Trike that she LOVES!! It has a push bar for when she gets tired too, which mommy loves too.

We have been looking for a bike since she has has already outgrown the scooter she got for her birthday.

Here are some pictures of the inagural ride...
