Bird Crisis

It was a beautiful day, so when Ruthie and I came home from a walk we opened the door to the balcony to let in the fresh air. There we are folding laundry and playing with toys when a bird flies into the living room. It does a frantic turn around and quickly exits. But wait, what's that I hear? Chirping coming from the kitchen. His little bird friend came in as well and got lost. This bird was trying to get out the window, which was closed. PANIC - There is a bird in the house. Christian is at work - What do I do?! 

1. Snatch up Ruthie and quickly take her upstairs and out of the way of a wild and possibly ferocious-decease-carrying bird.
2. Come back downstairs to asses the situation.
3. Move Matdy to the bathroom because she is in the kitchen meowing at the bird and freaking it out.
4. Move into the kitchen and try to shoo the bird out towards the back door.
5. Abandon step 4 because that bird might fly at me.
6. Go back upstairs to get Ruthie who is crying at being left all alone.
7. Construct an anti-bird tent for Ruthie to play under while I try to solve the bird situation. (Place Ruthie in tent)
8. Open back door really wide and hope the bird notices the breeze.
9. Go back to the living room, sit with Ruthie, watch Marry Poppins and hope the bird thing sorts itself out.
10. Triumphantly check out the kitchen after hearing what sounds like a bird happily chirping as it finds its way out side.
11. Take Ruthie out of protective tent.
12. Scrub down the entire kitchen to protect against icky bird germs.

Success! Crisis Averted! Baby Saved!
