room for one more?

July 16th, 2011
WELL LONG TIME NO SEE! being summer an' all i haven't really gotten around to updating the site.. but mom, dad.. and many others have been nagging at me, SO I'M BACK :D i dunno about all you guys, but so far, summer has been great! not only do i have a wicked tan (it's only on the upper half of my back.. but yano)  , but i turned sixteen this past week! i've met a couple new friends, and i'm off to nova scotia in a couple of days! yes, the wonderful days of pie for breakfast and cake for lunch are here at last, and i'm enjoying every minute! but about the house!
i took the following pictures TODAY. yeah, recent, IIIIIIII know ;D BUTBUTBUT, in this post, there's not only pictures of the house to look forward too....no, there's a lovely little guest who's called a little crevice in our soon-to-be kitchen "home" :D so i'll just keep you in suspense until you scroll down and read everything before i tell you who our house guest is ;) 
LOOK, THE RAFTERS HAVE BEEN PUT UP :D ..rafters. hmm. sounds weird. but i do believe that's what they call the little pieces of wood that are the roof's foundation!  
 side view! .. and a lovely little pile of dirt blocking half of the house.. NO BIG THOUGH :D
 OKOKOK, so the little guest is a flying creature. it has a beak, two wings, and a red tummy.. can you guess what it is?
 THAT'S RIGHT! IT'S A ROBIN :D:D:D:D:D:D isn't she gorgeous?
 at this point she was being all freaked out that mom and i had come into the house.. we kinda scared her off..  
 but EVENTUALLY, momma begins to trust that we aren't planning on shooting her with a nerf gun and eating her for dinner :) so she flies back inside and makes herself comfy!
 there she is again :) ...only this time she's giving us the death stare..
 away she flies when micheal comes in to get a piece of wood or something :( 
so when momma leaves the nest, i take the opportunity to climb up a ladder to check out the nest (looking, no touching!). AND LOOK! she's got herself three beautiful little eggs in the most amazing shade of blue i've ever seen! we've done a little research and found out that the eggs should hatch in about two weeks and after they're born, they stay in the nest for another 9 or so days and then they fly the coop :D awe, life. so cute.. especially in bird form :D
