Looky Who Lives With Us

By now you may have seen this delightful video about birds.  It cracks me up every time, especially because it is so darn accurate.  I should document the decorative birds I have in my home.  No, I should document the decorative birds that my friend Aimee has in her home.  She looooves birds.  And I love her birds.  Anywho.

A real (yet still decorative) bird has decided to make a nest here  ::

Perhaps you read about my front door make-over here.  This wreath pictured above has been on the door since about Christmas time, in place of the bouquet (which will make an appearance again.... I just like to mix things up a bit now and then.  But only a bit.).

The wreath is already nest-ish, but our little friend Birdie began adding sticks, leaves and dried grass to the center hole to make it even more of a cozy (though only part-time) home . We see her in there sometimes and we really do wonder when we'll end up with Birdie in the house.  My 17-month-old son Calvin seems to be afraid of her, pointing to her shadow that we can see on the inside of the door, saying "bird!" with a concerned look on his face.  I don't yet have a photo of Birdie herself, but here is her home  ::

Its amazing.
