Who does this happen to?

Over the years, Sam and I have found ourselves in quite a few random situations…and the other night we had yet another. It was about 10:30 and I had asked Sam to run outside to grab Laina’s bathing suit that had been hanging to dry. It was about 20 feet away from the front door. Somehow, between the time it took Sam to get the bathing suit and run back inside, a bird flew into our house. Yep. A bird. At 10:30 p.m. just as we are shutting everything down for the night so we can go to bed. Come on people, who does that happen to?
Long story short, after coming up with and unsuccessfully implementing a few strategies, we finally just decided to just sit on the couch for a second to regroup. Our friend decides then to fly upstairs which is just lovely since we have two sleeping kids up there. She (we know it’s a female because Laina told us so) somehow managed to cling on to the bathroom door…which eventually I was able to slowly shut so she was confined to the bathroom. Go me! Then Sam had the fun job of actually capturing her with a towel and freeing her out of the window. Phew.

What a funny night. Here is a pic of our lil friend.
