Here are a few pictures of Lola... she is growing up too fast, like they all do, but it seems even faster than the others... maybe because I am older?
Today was super cold and we needed to "run into town" for feed for the critters and well we might as well get a few groceries for free... :) Gotta love coupons! :) So we bundled her up in her dancin' duds and I couldn't resist in snapping off a few shots of her "dudded up"...
And you were expecting the baby! Hehehehe
Yep... here I am... is the runway all for me???
Striking a pose...
Snacking on cereal bars... my newest favorite snack!
Well besides the fake eggplant that goes with the play kitchen...
Remember ET? Can you find her? She almost blends into the room of toys! I keep trying to tell her the room isnt big enough for all her stuffed toys, but she wont part with them... so there is always just too too many stuffed animals piled everywhere... lol I guess things could be worse...
Why Yes... I am standing on my own... <clapping> yeah for me! :):):)
I don't feel like separating all this into three posts... so here are a few of the chicken coop still going up. If I wasnt such a pansy in the winter I would get out there and paint. but the cold and my Fibro just arent very compatible... so I will finish it in the spring with paint. Until then.... here is Russ fixing up the Poultry Palace? Chicken Condo? Chelle's Chicken Cottage? I think a name is needed for their new home... anyone have any ideas? Ducks, chickens, turkeys, guniea fowl... We could call it the Fowls Fort? Yep I need help here!
A line of I think 16 nest boxes by the time he is done... all in a row and easily cleaned when need be... he is putting in ramps for the ducks so they dont have to struggle over the frame of the building to get in and out. Doors on each end for better ventilation and the ability to pull a rig up to each end if need be to clean it out... I have big rocks to remove and the floor to level out... He brought in dirt to fill it in so they wouldnt dig out too soon! lol Its a lot farther along now, but I left the camera out there for over a week... and couldnt find it! Blonds I swear! <big grin> I looked in the house, the car, the truck, the kids rooms, the cat bed! I did not think to retrace my steps out the chicken coop...
The roost... I know overkill, but it will hold 70 birds more than comfortably... and still have room for the ducks where the wagon is...
More importantly is a life lesson in a nutshell.... Gasoline and fire are not a good combination for children of ANY age!
I want every parent to bring their children to look... Look at what a gasoline can with nothing but fumes can do to your skin... so imagine what a full can exploding could do! I know they are blurry, but I couldnt seem to get the ice out of the camera from being in the cold coop all week! All I keep thinking is why the school of hard knocks? Why do we all from time to time choose to skip "school" and head to the "school of hard knocks?" I am just thankful they are all still attached!
Need I say more... His first finger is pretty much healed, it was more the tip than the top... I am very thankful they are still attached, and are healing. This happened on the 2nd... so that makes it only 8 days old... and it STILL looks gross! We are following Dr.'s instructions and bandaging and putting silver "stuff" on it daily... it is looking better, his middle finger you can see is WAY better... but the school of hard knocks??
So all you little pyro's out there... keep your fingers attached and skin in place...
And the adventures continue!
