Before I forget...and because Hillary told me to

I told Hillary this story several weeks ago and she said it needed to go on the blog, so here it goes...

When Gaga was here in January, we decided to take Ellie outside to use her swing in the front yard. We hadn't used it in ages because it had been too cold. When we got out there, we saw that it was covered in bird poo! Gaga cleaned it up, while a big black bird screeched at us from the branches above. I got Ellie settled in and within 2 minutes, the bird poo'ed on my head and on Ellie's leg. We haven't been back out there since -- the bird has definitely claimed it as his territory!

Ha!! Are you going to move the swing or just relinquish it to the bird?

Are you kidding? Take the swing away from the bird? I'm pretty sure he would hunt us down and poo on us twice just for moving his swing!

This is hysterical. . .I'm so glad you put it on here. I'll laugh about it again years from now when I'm reading our blog/albums:) And while we're at it. . .let's talk about what we really mean by "bendy!"

I'm thinking some kind of gondola type swing with a roof is in order for Ellie. For Adrienne, maybe a hands free umbrella for protection.
