The Best Nest

For those of you not up to date on your kid-lit The Best Nest is about a Mama bird who is unhappy with her nest so she drags the Daddy bird around and they try out lots of other nests and finally end up back in their original nest. This is a popular book in our house.

Today I was doing laundry and Emmie asked if she could borrow her laundry basket. Sure, why not? She took it in her room, informed me it was her nest, and filled it with her pillow, blanket, some books, and MOUSIE (who arrived at our front door this afternoon with a lovely note about his adventures...there were 2 VERY happy girls in our house...Emmie and Mommy!). I asked her if her nest was the best nest and she informed me it was. What more could a girl want? (Well actually she wanted Ellie too but Ellie took a look at the size of the nest and decided getting squished wasn't on her agenda for the day.)

Also, Emmie informed me that she was an orange bird and Ellie is a yellow bird.
