play date with charlie man, making muffins, watching espen.

wednesday, september 29, 2010.
we invited charlie over for a play date. a good bye hug from levi.
and from abeyham.
today's egg basket. this time he used a pretty green metal one. he lined it with wood chips too.
two more nummy eggs. the girls are such good producers.
i read that road island reds can lay between 200 and 280 eggs a year making them on of the highest producing laying hens.
levi showing abe the eggs. abraham's in time out.
cuteness.
little chicken lover.
hugs.
levi about to help me make banana nut muffins.
this is what i saw out the window while we were making the muffins...abraham just walking around with a chicken.
not quite sure where he's going.
ta da. muffins!
lity was such a good helper.
giving the chickens some muffin.
abraham offering them his whole muffin. he didn't care for it. in all honesty, they were a little dry. i over baked them. still haven't figured out the whole convection feature of my stove and how to make adjustments for it.
so shiney.
christine asked if we could watch espen so she could meet with a buyer. abe immediately grabbed a chicken as soon as i brought espen to the backyard. espen didn't want to pet her at first.
then he touched her and said she was soft and felt like a stuffed animal.
four cuties.
espen bought over bubbles to share.
woo hoo!
blowing.
nemo ruffling her feathers.
they all have weapons.
 glass flower.
abraham in time out.
my man.
espen hard at work.
abey dismantling my man.
espen's sculpture.
espen's creation looked like a bouncy obstacle course.
abraham's cake.
my owl.

egg basket. first dozen. g'pa and g'ma batt visit. levi ties knots!

tuesday, september 28, 2010.
last night we were reading in one of our chicken keeping books. in the section about eggs there was a sketch of an egg basket. levi asked what it was and i told him that it is useful in helping collect eggs when you have lots of chickens. this morning, sheriff levi comes in with this...his own egg basket! he's so cute.
two more eggs.
a dozen fresh eggs.
yay! grandpa's here!!!
copying levi.
the boys were so looking forward to go alley romping in the trailer.
abraham brought a wagon with him.
hanging on as we round the corner into the alley.
fun bumpy and fun!
alley romping pro.
seasoned romper.
levi is totally starting to tie super good knots. he taught himself.
little finger, little knot.
the boys fell asleep on me like this. i have to sit in the middle while reading books before bed because they love to fight over their legs touching each other.
now mama can go to sleep:)


eggs, hair cuts, tree climbing, and a visit from sammy sam.

lity man AFTER with his lolly pop "reward."
ahhh much better. check out abe's face in the background:)
haircut twins.
 joshua had always intended this to be a CLIMBING TREE, when he planted it.
 looks like THE TIME HAS COME!!!
abraham ringing the bell.
he kept hitting it so hard the croquet hammer broke.
no biggy, he just hit it with the stick instead.
we had a surprise visit from ms. stacy and sammy! sammy had been on vacation, we hadn't seen him in weeks.
abraham quickly caught a chicken to show sammy sam.
mid happy hop.
sammy was more into the toys.
 abraham, without my knowing, went to go look for another egg to show sammy and stacy. he found one, but he dropped it on the way over. oopsy!!! what was really gross is the girls ate it! ahhh. nature can be gross.
the rest of the pics are just me messing around with my RETRO camera app.
