Easter Girls

My five beauties on Easter morning.

The Chickens are Outside!!

It felt like the day would never come when we could get these chickens out of my house, but last Saturday, with the coop finally finished, and the weather taking a turn for the better, they moved out!! They create so much stink and dust it's amazing. They are so much happier now that they have room to flap their wings, and I'm thrilled to finally have my home smelling good and relatively dust-free again! In two months or so, we should see our first egg.

It's supposed to get to 80 degrees today, so I opened the little door to their run to let them play outside. They are all too scared still, but Buffy is brave enough to at least go this far. Sara is checking on her chickens. She loves them so much. Egg collecting will be so fun!

Science Fair 2011

It was Rachel's turn to do a science fair project this year. She was inspired by a project last year and wanted to learn more about quicksand. She even did a cornstarch/water quicksand demonstration. It was a fun (and easy!!) one to do, and I even learned some things!

Trouble

I have never had a kid quite like this one. She is into EVERYTHING!! I had just finished a batch of no bake cookies and before I knew it, she had moved the stool and grabbed one in each hand. She's all wet from getting into the dog water dish. It's a very good thing she's cute.
