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 more
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 more
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 more
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 more
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 more
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 more
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 more
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 more
Happy birthday to Chex! When we picked Chex up from being neutered, I had one question for the vet, “How old is this dog?.” He responded that he was right about a year old. Before we could even get to the truck, big sis said “mama, if Chex is 1, then he needs a birthday … Read more
Between a toilet leak and yet another chicken attack, this week turned out to be a rough one. Thanks to box bus wrecks and giant peanuts there was still plenty of laughs to be had…by me at least. The toilet has been on the to do list for a while, but soaking wet carpet was … Read more
