some pictures. and stories. from our lives. lately. birthday party for shira. we got two new-to-us older barred rock hens to replace the two that lucy slaughtered a few weeks back. (plus one more that derek got just for fun, i guess). unfortunately, within a couple of days, they both died. still not 100% sure […]
lid kid everyday life
a feeble attempt to cover the last few weeks.
when i went to post the back to school post, i realized it’s been quite a long time since my last post. then, i started a miscellaneous post and realized that i hadn’t posted pics of the coop or discussed the tragic details of the lucy-chicken incident. so, those events aside, i am now posting […]
another poultry post.
the coop has been done for awhile and the chickens moved in permanently earlier this month. lucy terrorizes them in their coop/run, chasing them from one side to the other. anna enjoys playing in the coop. so does ike. and anna likes having them contained so she can catch them easily. we let them out […]
public school. day one.
well. even though it’s still 900 degrees, i guess summer is over and it’s time for school. isaac, at a whopping “five and a half” (don’t dare leave off the half), had his very first day of kindergarten today. he was pretty excited. and picked out this shirt himself. and has decided that i’ll wash […]
playing with food. angry birds style.
oh, pinterest. i found this idea on pinterest from the site, little hands, big work. and, then i was on a quest for angry birds fruit snacks. finally, on a trip to joann’s to load up on thread, i happened upon these in the checkout line: i rustled up some building type food, cut up […]
chicken love
the fluffy baby chicks are getting big fast. they’re getting feathery and are able to fly up and around for a few seconds. the lidkids were a little afraid of them at first, but are getting used to them. isaac still hates when they flutter about unpredictably, and runs away screaming. we are starting to […]
super playdate mania
ever since the chickens have arrived, we’ve had a lot of playdates. who would have thought some fuzzy little poultry could make us so popular. 🙂 (disclaimer: it’s not that the people who have come over only like us for our chickens. they come over all the time. just not so many in a row. […]
chickens!
for awhile now, we’ve been trying to feed our kids better stuff. shop local. blah blah. and then, one fateful day, the topic of getting our own chickens came up. after much research (mostly by derek), we dove in. on monday, this box arrived: anna was psyched. they were so very cute and fuzzy. and […]
two year (and two month) checkup.
this post is mostly for me. for when, someday, when my kids say, where’s our baby book, i can point them to this blog and they can see all that baby book type information… anna had her two year old checkup this week. it was a no-shot appointment, so that’s always good. for some reason, […]
#winning
so, awhile back, i posted about winning a sweet giveaway. well, after a bit of craziness*, the cool dress has arrived… and anna looks really cute in it. *something happened in the shipment, and it never came. i waited a week or so, then emailed the giver-awayer and she promptly made and sent out another.
