A bird distraction

Early in the week we had to take a break from our school schedule to deal with a bird.

It had flown in through the playroom door and went straight upstairs. It spent some time in Alahna's loft room then went into boys' room where we shut the door and the kids spent the next half hour trying to get it to fly out the window.  It eventually landed on a blanket and Alahna was able to throw the end of the blanket over it and carry it to the window where it flew away. I mostly just watched and enjoyed the show; they came up with some interesting ideas on how to get that little bird back outside...
