What We Were Doing

I know, I know...I took forever but here are the pictures!

Our school room needed a major overhaul so I jumped into it.  We didn't go for the "major" that it needed, but we did make some improvements.

I don't have the before (they are on my phone--it's dead!) but here is some of the after!

We need a new doorknob and the flooring will be updated soon (hopefully), but it's so much better than it was!

Can You Guess What We're Doing?

Chicken Update!

This is for you, Darlene :)

The chickens are doing great!  We moved them into their new house over the weekend (pics of that to come) and they are so happy!!! 

 We are having a great time with them and I love the responsibility that the kids have taken on with them!

So much fun!!!

Play Time!

We've started letting the chicks out to play in the yard for a short time (under close supervision!).

It's funny how much they love it, and now each afternoon they are waiting to get out!

 I still can't figure out what this one is...either Wyandotte or Americauna/Wyandotte mix

 Padme thinks she is the chicken-keeper...she watches them closely and helps round them up when it's time to go in!

 This is a Splash Silkie named....Splash

This is the cat who would like to eat the chicks!

Oh No!

It just hit me this morning--out of our 10 chicks we are only sure that two of them are females 

(the big black ones are Black Star and the males will have yellow spots on their heads--ours don't).

I had said we would keep one or two roosters at the most, and we'll keep all of our silkies.

I can't imagine giving any of them away at this point!!!!  

We love all of them--I know, they are just chickens but they are so cute and have funny little personalities.  Our neighbors are going to hate us.

Reminder!

Just a reminder that my info meeting is tomorrow night (Thursday). 

If you still aren't sure about Grace and Strength but want to get healthy, 

join us to learn more!!

Dreams

Anyone who knows me well, knows that I can often have some CrAzY dreams!

I have found that sleeping with my "magic sleeping machine" cuts back on the number of bizarre scenes that play out in my head each night, but for the past 4 nights I haven't used it.

On Monday night I was in an online meeting for 4 hours.  

That's a long time to be sitting in an uncomfy office chair.

*Note--get a decent office chair*

When I got up my body was so stiff and just plain hurt.

All.  Night.  Long I dreamed that I was at a rodeo and riding bulls, then playing some sort of crazy game in the fields in which everyone involved would throw themselves off of horses or 4-wheelers and into fence posts!  After a long time of doing this, someone offered to take me to the hospital b/c there was no doubt many things were broken.  Oh my goodness that was wild.

The next night I drove around for hours, totally lost in my hometown (if you know my hometown then this is hilarious in itself b/c it's not that big!).

I finally stopped at a gas station for directions, only to run over some guy's head.  

Once he got up and popped his head back into shape, he was fine--thank goodness!

I'm just glad that my mind doesn't work this way during the daytime!!!!
