I'm excited, I got the basic structure done on the chicken shelter. All deep screws and all painted. The posts are super heavy, so this was HARD for me to put together by myself. But it looks,so far, hoe I envisioned it.

That's looking great!

Ok ok. Last night my 5 year old comes in and wakes me at 1am. Tummy hurt.
"ok baby, go potty..." I help her go, uneventful, she feels better, goes to lay down.
I hear her call for me, go over, she has arms out and wants love... So I grab her up and we snuggle up on the couch. She turns to me, touches my cheek with her hand, smiles and projectile vomited all over ME, the couch, the 3 blankets and 4 pillows we snuggled up in and the CAT sleeping next to us O.O
I started wretching. Had to keep her calm (she was still grinning until I started cleaning lol then she felt bad )and I didn't even know how to explain what just happened to her, she's never been sick-thanks school!. By 3 am we were in bed again.
Both kids had serious dental appointments at 8am they had to be sedated for (no, they don't give valium to scared parents in case you're wondering lol) and for the rest of the day I had two basically drunk angry, sore tiny people trying to fight their shadows lol my mind has left today, hung a sign that says "auto-pilot".
I am now at work til late late tonight...looking (and probably smelling) like a Zombie! Happy Halloween ya'll!

UHG! I remember those days. My kids are a little older now and they haven't been sick like that in quite awhile. If they do I hope they aim it in the right spot, lol.

On a less gross note, we went to the State Fair this weekend, we were walking around with the kids and saw a Junior rodeo. After watching for a few, the hubby asks my 5 yr old girl if she wants to try. Whaaaaa? Cute baby but you have to register I'm sure and ummm train? Lol he says Naaaaaaa!!
Walks up to the announcer with her and then she's in line for a Sheep rodeo ride-Bell at 6 seconds lol 2nd event a goat tail pull! 2 cowboys pin a goat down butt up in the air, tie a pink ribbon to its tail and then time the little kids running to the goat-snatch the ribbon and run back O.O whoa the sounds coming from those goats!

She did great. Lol I couldn't stop laughing. So much fun those kids had. Sheep and goats not so much...except the Goat toss...yup. they toss baby goats. The baby goats come running back to do it again! Oh my goodness...
I was so proud of her for trying somethin new and being so brave.











This pic summed up her whole day

That's awesome memories that are the best!! What a cutie

What a crazy day! Running all day. Baby Fluffy Butts are doing great. I checked each ones crop to see how much they were eating and they all had food. The older ones were much fuller than the youngest. But they all had a good amount and LOTS of energy. Like JUMP out of your hand energy!!! I took a bunch more pictures. They are ridiculously cute! Then they switched the Trick or Treating to tonight. GAH!!! Had to go by the store and get kids home so they could get themselves fixed up. We were out all evening and now I am going to be making hand decorated cookies for a school class party for tomorrow. I love doing these kind of cookies, I just like doing it with a little more rest!

Time for more coffee and get to rolling out cookie dough.

I had youtube on while I was making the cookie dough a bit ago and came across this and I was like AAA Waaaahh!!!!!!! HUH??!!

That just seems sooooo wrong!! I won't even feed my chickens table scraps that have sat in the compost bucket for too long. But maggots that have fed on rotting meat?? And this guy says they are sterile (clean). Ugh! Somehow I just don't think so. (((SHUDDER)))

Mine eat Black Soldier Fly maggots. They love them. Is that bad??

I don't know. I just am thinking that with rotten meat there is usually eccoli type bacteria etc. Whether or not it is safe for them to eat maggots from rotting meat I could never stomach that! Call me girlie
