What we've been up to...

Always busy, always learning, trying to find joy in days of rain, cherishing even 10 minutes of sunshine, taking deep breaths, loving some new baby chicks, bulbs poppin up all over, finally finally Spring may really be on it's way!
 
Ok need to entertain some kids while you're trying to make a meal...
Wax paper, a straw and a syringe of water!
Gives you at least 25 minutes!!



Ben just made a mess... then he was done!  But Colten had races, made giant water blobs... and left me alone for a good while!  WIN WIN!

I haven't written since.... those sweet babies were snug in their eggs!
They're Here!!!  and just like the last hatching last year... I was right on the money with my dates!!  6 out of 7 hatched to "Crazy"  (her name is totally for reals!  She'll come at you like a spider monkey if you get too close... believe me I KNOW!)
 
Blacky - hatched only 1 of her 3 so acting on pure impulse the hubs brought home 3 barred rock chicks from the local feed store... we snuck them into the brooder and WALA... she adopted them on the spot!  We couldn't be happier!

Salad spinner painting... totally awesome!

and yes we often paint in our underpants... don't you?


Totally rad right?

I'm thinkin Ben's hands were cooler than our spinner art!  How'd he do that anyways??

Sorry they are just soooo cute!


The little brown  one "Tiny" is Mama Blackys and the three black ones are adopted!  One sweet little family for sure! 

Mama calling her babies in for bed.
 
Papa tries to do age appropriate projects...
I walked in on this....
(Bobbie just close your eyes!)

They made fire starters... totally age appropriate! haha

Flame, boiling water, hot wax... sounds like the perfect activity
to an anxious mom!

But they're having fun... and it ended with no injuries.. total success in my book! 

Totally spied on my little guy... being a total boy!

It was so fun to just stand back and observe...
The male species is soooo weird... haha




Can you tell which one Mom drew? haha

Sometimes we do weird stuff... but weird is fun!

Please tell me your living room looks like this sometimes!

In case you needed some more cuteness!

Going on a bunny hunt... seriously!

A boy, a stick and a creek... pure joy!

Check out our birdfeeders!

So fun!
 
You thought I was kidding!
There's two of them taking up residence on the property
Emus, goats, bunnies what's next! haha

Ridiculous, I tell you what!

Out on the town for the first time!
Mama teachin babes how to scratch for bugs!
They appear to be good students!

I could cry it's soooo cute!

 
Well hope you enjoyed your recap! 
Random as always, just the way you like it...
