This week dad caught the biggest frog! Lil sis was in frog heaven! She held it, then smooched and then threw a fit when it was time to put it back. She said it’s name was big beefy. I have no idea where that came from, but it was a fitting name so we … Read morethe biggest frog
More frogs, more gardening. Lil sis can’t get enough of them….ever! She wakes up and immediately goes out “to tell the frogs morning.” Everyday. Sometimes she even puts on a pretty dress to do it in, because she says the frogs like her dress. So cute. The tadpoles are getting big and they actual back … Read moremore frogs, more gardening
This week has been all about soaking up the sunshine. More outside time has resulted in more bug bites for all of us! I have officially lost count of the number of frogs and toads we’ve caught, but finding them and listening to their noises is still an exciting activity. I wish I had something … Read moresoaking up the sunshine
Big roost went from farm to plate. That darn rooster has been a never-ending issue for them on our farm for longer than I’d like to admit. We tried everything from pinning it down into submission, beating it with sticks, holding him upside down….nothing worked. All the fixes worked temporarily, but sooner or later he … Read morebig roost went from farm to plate
Rain, rain, go away! We have had nothing but rainy days and more chicks. The weather has been chilly, which means we have been in the house more than I’d like, and the chicks have been inside longer than I was hoping for. The girls have been doing a ton of baking. Apple cobbler, cookies, … Read morerainy days and more chicks
Chicks, chicks and more chicks! New chicks, old chicks, and a toad. It’s a good thing chickens don’t eat toads, because then we’d only have chicks. At the first sign of a pip, the girls were both intently watching the incubator. I thought this wouldn’t be as exciting since they had just seen it 3 … Read morenew chicks, old chicks, and a toad
This week was all about Easter fun and a new mud kitchen. The eggs had to be colored first. The girls wanted to make sure they had at least one egg of each color. Then they stated the dip dying and really making a mess. After each egg was died once, they went back for … Read moreEaster fun and a new mud kitchen
This week was all about gardening, art, and garden art. Staying at home is starting to make me appreciate our weekly trips to the grocery store that much more. If nothing else, they were a time to get out of the house. Now, we have to get out of the house by going….to the back … Read moregardening, art, and garden art
The baby chicks hatched this weekend and I still can’t get over these adorable little fluff butts. With that said, I’ll just go ahead and apologize now for the mass amount of pictures about to come. Between the girls oohing and ahhing and my own amazement with them hatching, I just couldn’t stop taking pictures. … Read moreadorable little fluff butts
At our house, spring showers bring new mailboxes. Yes, they bring flowers and bright green grass and lots of weeds too, but the new mailbox was the biggest improvement for this week. All the rain makes it hard to get anything done outside. When we get a few sunny afternoons, or even a few days … Read morespring showers bring new mailboxes
