Good morning all! Mom2 that is funny and yes, a bit creepy.

Bianca that is so awesome! I am going to start buying my kids the child sized gear for cooking this year. The first loose tooth is a fun one, I still have my daughter's in the little box they sent it home in.
I didn't learn a lot of cooking when I was young so I want to change that. What did he make? Was he proud?

Opa, I sure do! He got a Betty Crocker Junior cookbook for Christmas and he makes something from it at least once a week if not more. His brothers birthday is later this month and he said he wants Nathaniel to make his birthday dinner too. Love my boys!
Ladyfeather he is making Pick Pockets which are pizza pockets. He is excited.

Holy COW!
I was a hundred posts behind! Spent my morning coffee time catching up.

You and me both. Did you keep the Lop? Have her scanned? I saw she may be preggers. If so you'll have to rehome a litter, eh? Just curious.

Farmer - keeping my fingers crossed the emu's hatch!

Brethern, sorry yours didn't hatch..

Juise- Hope you had a happy birthday!!

I wanted to get the big chicken from TSC, but they were all gone.

Raz, is there anyway to get a restraining order on your neighbor? She's called so much about you, that you'll always look like the bad guy if anything happens if she escalates her behavior. If you tried to get something like that on her, maybe it would keep some balance......... ignoring her is obviously not working. Is she harassing anyone else? There has got to be a law against what she's doing to you.... of course then again... cities like citizens to tattle on each other. UGh... she's driving ME nuts and I don't have to deal with her!

Heck, if anything, next time the cops come by ... see if they'll charge her with filing phoney police reports, I know they can do that! Tell them what she's doing to you, the more they hear from you, the more info they'll have to put two and two together... and maybe they'll get tired of her. Good luck!

Sorry if I miss anyone's posts etc.. just hard to respond to everyone. I have a ton to do at work today cause I have thru and fri off! I don't look forward to trying to catch up to everyone's posts over the next 4 days!! Maybe I'll hop on if it's raining.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to all the moms on SUNDAY!

I put the Silkie and d'uucle chicks out in the mini coop-er last night. They're almost all feathered out, and I put a light out there for them just in case. I may need room for the turkey chicks in the brooder... glad we made the brooder to split it in half!

Have a good weekend!

From a carnivore, yuuuummmmy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That looks delicious.

I concur

I was going to shovel out the chicken coop and mow the lawn today, but to hell with it, it's my birthday, we're going to the park instead. Have a nice day everyone!

Happy Birthday!!

Welcome!

Now THAT is cute! I'll post some pics at the end of this post that I took of Waffles today.


Looks good! I love watching my chickens too. Sure beats housework!


Juise - I thought of you this weekend when I was mowing. Lol I ran over a little white moth which didn't bother me but it reminded me of what you might do. What DID bother me was the massive toad I dissected unknowingly. *shudder*


Here's Miss Waffles today with some of her new teenage feathers. Can't wait to see her "all grown up". Before I saw these pretty feathers pop out I was convinced she was a strange almost porcelain d'uccle. Lol They are really pretty in the sun.

Waffles is adorable!!

How about this weather? driving me nuts, sunshiney one minute, grey overcast the next. I actually had the girls outside for a while yesterday and they were loving it!

I hear ya. I need to finish the A-Frame today... I hope that 40% rain stays away today.

I had a crumby morning... slept terrible!!! BF wakes up realizes that his work uniforms did not get dried yesterday... Not sure why this is my fault seeing as I did not wash them and had no idea they were sitting in the washer.

BUT in BF's world I do nothing but nap all day long... How could I do that while watching 3 kids, three and under? Not sure...

My house is a mess but guess what... I am a darn good mom and babysitter. The kids get fed, cleaned, diapered, taught, and we got some super awesome playtime outside yesterday. I think I deserve a nap once in a while...If all the kids are sleeping at the same time (which almost never happens)

Some people drink, some smoke... I nap. It keeps me sane.
I understand that some things HAVE to get done but when the choice is fold laundry or spend time with the kids... Hmmm sorry laundry you will be wrinkled and I couldn't care less.

In short, I would rather have a messy house and happy kids than a happy BF and a spotless house...
Sucks to be him... PS. I am pretty sure he has 2 arms and legs and can wield a vacuum just as well as I can...

Nobody ever died because their laundry wasn't done.

 

[NovaAman]

Well... if he wanted them in the dryer... it woulda taken him all of 2 seconds to inform you they were in the wash cycle, and could you change them over.

In his defence... WOMAN! GO GET ME A TURKEY POT PIE! hehehee. Just kidding. great movie though. I have 2 kids... and my house is always a mess. I have people over, and I immediately apologise for it... SORRY, my house is a mess... but... Oh well. LOL And my laundry is ALWAYS WRINKLED!

THANK YOU!!!
Thanks!

Glad I am not the only one.

I have no idea what movie you are talking about...

I have a sign in my kitchen that says "Although you'll find my house a mess, come in, sit down, converse. It doesn't always look like this, some days it's even worse."

Does it seem like as soon as you start cleaning, doing something important, or go to the bathroom all of a sudden there is an all out brawl for a certain toy or someone gets hurt... diving off the couch or whatever it is kids find so fun?

He thinks he works his butt off all day... he has NEVER watched our child all day. If I have to be somewhere I have to make sure my parents are available to watch our son. Heaven forbid he'd have to work around the schedual of a toddler...

I guess I picked him so I can't complain too much...We make our own beds.
