Afterwards, we went for a walk to get some fresh air. Morgan found a giant worm on the ground and I let her pick it up and hold it for a bit.
Then, when we got back home, this happened. What you are looking at is the result of a not-so-smart bird laying eggs in a wreath on a door that opens and closes multiple times a day.
After this, the girls bawled for what seemed like hours. Morgan kept saying to me "Aren't you sad that you killed those baby birds?" and "Do you think the birds are sad that you killed their babies?" Yep, she definitely made me feel a ton worse.
We decided to do some family art afterwards to get their minds off of it. This also ties into the "C" day for the countdown - Creativity Day - do a creative art project.
At night, we always say our favorite parts of the day and after we got done with that, Avery said, "well, I know what my LEAST favorite part of the day was... it was when mommy killed those baby birds!" Ugh. This event will not be soon forgotten.
