Noah's Ark?

Not quite, but we sure seem to be having quite a few animals at our house. 2 mice, 1 snake, 1 bird nest with 4 eggs, 1 hummingbird trapped in garage(we helped him escape safely) and 1 birdnest with baby birds in it!(not sure how many yet). Yes, while cleaning out the garage with mom a hummingbird got trapped in our garage and couldn't figure out how to get out. So with many attempts I finally held a broom up to the bird and he landed on it!! I slowly walked with the hummingbird on the end of the broom until it was out of the garage and he flew away. HOW WEIRD! We do have a hummingbird feeder in the backyard so I guess he was just exploring and got lost. Then today I heard baby bird sounds coming from the front bushes. From through the dining room window I can barely see the nest and I saw a baby bird's head. Wow. And Yes, Susan that is a snake in my previously posted pics from the Nashville zoo, actually I think it was called an anaconda -------(don't want none unless you got buns hun) ha!! remember those lyrics??!! I would of died if I ever found anything like that in my yard!!
We had a great trip to Nashville. Stayed in a great Homewood suites with a almost full kitchen and seperate bedroom. It was great for the boys to go to bed and we could sit up in the next room and watch TV. D's photo op went great, I'll post more details when I get them. We then visited the Parthenon park (that building is absolutely gigantic) I'd love to go back when the museum is actually open. The park was beautiful too! Then we headed to the zoo. It was a really nice zoo and we got in free since we have a zoo pass here. The monkey's were great. They were singing or yelling(I don't know) at each other and it was very entertaining. Check out the monkey video here...

I still can't make the video appear directly on my blog yet so you just have to click on the above link for now.
The middle of the zoo had a giant playground that the boys loved. It says it can accomodate 1000 kids at one time!! I wouldn't want to be there to see that though:) We had a great trip and I'm looking forward to another trip back there soon to enjoy a little more of the city.
Getting ready for company here this weekend, the inlaws and the bro and sis in law. We'll enjoy hanging out, eating, drinking, and maybe a game of dominos or a movie.(rented of course). Finally got the garage organized(thanks mom) and I put new mulch in the flower beds. What a difference that makes!! Just a little more straightening up around here before the weekend and we're set to just relax and enjoy the weekend with family. Dad will miss the fesitivies by only a few days....he's closing on the 30th! I hope it all goes well, of course(sorry dad) there seems to always be little things that pop up at closing, but it will all work out and then you guys can move in yeah!!
Well going to watch American Idol(hubby already spoiled who won but I'll watch it anyway) GO JORDIN!!!! Then off to bed....
