Chicks in shed!!!

So after a very stinky back room, I decided to move those little stinky butts to the shed.  They seem to be doing well and even though it isn't heated, they seem to be content.  However...

Chicks Seem Happy!!

So we did it, the chicks are in their coop and everyone seems happy!  It is so neat to see them perching on their bamboo sticks and just waddling around in their coop.  It was with blood sweat and yes...tears too, but Dan finished it up and now we just need to clean up the mess we made and it will be nice and neat.  Here are some photos of the slightly shabby without chic chicken coop.

I quit...or...I made a better choice.

So my hubby started work on this chicken coop and I have been so excited about getting these poor little chicks into their home.  However, he had to leave for a week long trip and wasn't able to finish it before he left.  So I thought I would take the time to get it done.  Why not?  Just because I am a woman doesn't mean I can't do it.  Well...

St. Patrick's Day!

Leprechaun's, rainbows, Ireland, and Beer???  Basically I grew up not really celebrating St. Patrick's Day.  St Patrick's Day came and went, it was the "holiday" gearing up for Easter.  There wasn't even a full isle of decorations at the craft store.  So I never did much for it.  Garland for Christmas, eggs for Easter, and turkey's for Thanksgiving, but not much for St. Patrick's Day.  Then some friends mentioned it is actually celebrated for a missionary, St. Patrick.  Go figure, there really is a reason behind these holidays.  Now, I don't know the story yet, but this month my kids and I are going to search out this St. Patrick and take a look at Ireland and do a little study about these things.  Oh...don't forget the rainbow!  Maybe just one sip or two of beer with hubby.  Wink, wink!

Hubby Talk!

So it was one of those leisurely Saturday mornings when I was gonna make enough breakfast to last the week. So I wake up, bright and early with my little three month old, and I am ready to start the day.  Ahead of the kids a bit, I rush in the kitchen.  I'm thinking if I can just get everything going for breakfast, I can get three breakfasts for the week out of the morning.  Pancakes for everybody!  What a super mom...or...not!
