So let me start by saying I'm kind of a terrible mother. Well, I just don't spend enough time with my kids. I work full time and go to law school at night and that is time-killing like you wouldn't believe. And add kids, dog, cats, chickens & the small farm.... it's a lot. Thank goodness for my husband -- he is awesome.
But my husband was out of town Saturday night, and I wanted to do something fun with the kids besides watch a movie or TV. So we played with the chicks & painted some "chicken art" to hang in the coop. I haven't had time yet to hang it all outside, but we sure did have fun!
I am the boring one who painted my chicken to look like a chicken. The kids made "galaxy" chickens with stars and planets on them. My son made a Seattle Seahawks chicken (I didn't have the heart to tell him hawks are predators, not our friends), and a camouflage army chicken? And my daughter was focused on flowers on her chickens. Whatever. It was such a fun little project! We used to do artsy projects a lot when they were little, but now they're both in high school. It was fun to do something creative together. And now their art will help beautify the coop! Win-win!
