You wont have to worry about the BOSS sprouting, there won't be any to sprout. They love them. Just don't over do it, too much can cause crop issues.

OK. That's good to know. We'll give them sparingly as treats.

I hatched out 8 BA's, but upon closer inspection I discovered that my RIR rooster had made a unexpected visit to my little BA group.

That's too funny. Really cute, though.

It's a bummer you can't make it today, hope the little on gets better. I also assume that means Jess won't make it either, since she was riding with you?

I'm SO BUMMED! DD woke up with a fever. Thanks to CR for helping me by picking up the eggs. I should have figured something was up with her. Last night when I got back from taking my oldest son to basketball, her twin brother told me she spent the entire hour and a half that I was gone screaming and crying that Mommy left her. Usually she's a Daddy's girl, but Daddy wasn't good enough last night. I kind of brushed it off that she was trying to get attention because her twin brother has been so out of sorts the last few weeks. We're not exactly sure what's up with him, but he has been having a sub at school and he doesn't cope well with change. There's always something with kids, but man, her timing to get sick was impeccable. Ugh! Just when Mommy was finally getting to do something fun for Mommy.

I hope the rest of you guys have a good time. I'll be looking forward to the next opportunity to meet everyone.

It definitely will be interesting to see what it looks like all grown up. I've already said I'm keeping it just because of how cute it is, it also has a very mild temperament so far. Most definitely will be posting pictures as it grows, so everyone can see.

Daddy got hacked!!!

Nice DW's DD just called. Wanted to know if her mom would like to go to town with her. Of course on a day we have things going on. See she only lives about 3 miles away and I frequently tell her that her mom would love to go to town with her etc but no she can't be bothered. Of course a day when we have plans is when she finally calls!!!


OK on to more gooder things. For those with issue with the color pink. Just remember pink is just
RED GONE BAD !!!
That is the custom flag I had made for the sandrail !!!

I love a good conversation...but I'm a bit worried about having the kids with me and actually being able to hold a conversation. We'll see how it goes. I might break my cardinal rule ONE time and bring the iPad to give to them to play on in the restaurant just so I can think straight. Gah! I HATE technology moms who don't teach their kids to exist amongst other humans but give them devices to shut them up instead. OK. I talked myself right outta that idea LOL

I wouldn't necessarily call all moms who do that technology moms

. I used to think that way, but now that I'm raising 2 boys on the spectrum, I have had to change my ways of thinking. We actually do that with our boys if we need them to be quiet in situations where we need them to be quiet. Kids on the spectrum really struggle in situations that are new, noisy or different to them. My boys almost never play their DS games at home, but, most doctors appts. or places that they struggle with, the DS will come along. My oldest struggles in stores - if we have to go to Costco or someplace similar, the DS will come with him. People will look at us oddly because I will have an 11-year-old in the cart with a DS - but I know how bad the stares could be if he wasn't. For some reason, the lights or noises in that particular store can set him off.

I remember when my oldest's special needs preschool class went to the Supermall play area. A kid that was there was being mean to the other kids. The special needs teacher made a smart remark about that kid, and then stopped herself. She looked at me and commented that she didn't know that kid, she teaches special needs kids, and who was she to think that just because she didn't know that kid, didn't mean that kid didn't have special needs of his own. For me, that was a moment of realization of how easy it is to judge others when we really don't know or understand their situation.

I'm so sorry we can't come today!! I was REALLY looking forward to it and probably would have brought kids with sniffles (mine have colds) but I have no ride because DH has a busy day scheduled with our car. Perhaps Renee and I can just drive down and hang out with CR another day wen if its not a huge meetup. Sorry I can't meet everyone though.

We will all be there tomorrow though, maybe CR will still sneak north
