Painting the coop

It's hard to tell what we slack more on... getting this coop finished or updated the blog. Here are some pics from a few weeks ago as we started painting the coop. It is really coming along and I HOPE the girls can move in soon - chicken girls not our human girls :-)

Good Old Days

The kids were in the Good Old Days parade in Winfield while John and I went to New York for the weekend. They had a great time dressing as book characters. Maisie was Pippi Longstocking and Sammy was the Paper Bag Princess. For those of you who haven't read The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch check it out at the library!

Finally

Here it is nestled in among the "dummy" eggs. Our first egg. Not sure who laid it but it sure is good to see!!!

Scooby Dooby Doo

What character do you think Maisie is dressed as this week?

More Vacation Shots

While summer vacation may be over, the pictures keep on coming....


Ahoy me matey... Sam is now know solely as THE CAPTAIN. It is a title that fits her well!


The girls got their ears pierced in Cleveland during our "girls day" extravaganza. We went to the mall and shopped till we dropped while John and Ben went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. An awesome day was had by everyone!



That's right,.....BOB EVANS!
