lake fun

So we are leaving for the boyf's lake house in Minnesota tomorrow morning through Wednesday! His parents live up there permanently, so we will be visiting them. Along with the Mall of America! I'm pretty excited. And look what his dad sent us:

Sherby eggs! I really hope they are safe and sound when we get there! So I will see you Wednesday bloggy friends! Hope you have really fun plans for Memorial Day!

So while being a tourist around DC yesterday (and walking 6 miles!) We came across this mother duck with a million babies in the reflecting pond!

How cute are they?!

In other breaking news: Sherby has lost all of her eggs. Whatever ate the first two must have came back. :( We are devastated, we loved that little bird. But I did see her hanging out on the sidewalk this morning though! I really hope she comes back, but I doubt it. RIP baby eggies. 

where are my brothers?

Remember Scherbatsky, this bird we love?! And remember her nest? Well we have an update. The nest is down to two :( We came home yesterday to find no mama bird in sight and only 2 eggs in the nest. She came back but was very easily scared away. She used to sit in her nest staring at us while we walked in and out of the house and even took pictures of her. Something must have snatched 2 of the eggs and completely scared her. Now she scares away so easily, we can only see her from the window inside the house. I really hope whatever it was doesn't come back and those 2 little eggs will hatch soon! The boyf and I are REALLY getting attached to this little bird. We checked on her every 5 minutes last night to make sure she came back to the nest. And we even watched her fly into and make her little butt comfortable on those eggs, it was precious!  

Stay warm and be safe, little eggies!

Mama birdie

Came back into town to find Scherbatsky sitting on her eggs! And I found her exactly like that this morning on my way to work. The boyf looked up some info and apparently eggs only take 14 days to hatch so it should be any day now! Can't wait to see the little chicks! 

morning little birdies

Check out this adorable bird's nest that is in the bush RIGHT next to the boyf's front door! The mom tweets at us every time we walk through the door. She's so cute sitting on her eggs. We've named her Scherbatsky (after a certain awesome TV show- How I Met Your Mother). She is so cute! I hope the birdies don't hatch while I'm away for the weekend! The boyf will have to keep an eye on it for me.

a little birdie told me..

haha, adorable!
