what else could break you ask?

monday, october 4, 2010.
seriously!?!, our washing machine is broken now? yep, noticed sunday that it left black dots on every bit of fabric that was touching the drum. i ran a bleach rinse through it today and black fowl water came out that i had to trap in buckets so it wouldn't get in our tree's soil. then i ran that same wash through again and it wouldn't spin out. we tried turning it to manually do an extra rinse cycle and had no luck. it is shot. i guess the cliche is true...when it rains it pours. which, for us, translates into, if your computer catches an expensive virus, then your car air conditioner and washing machine will both stop working too!!! harumpf. but, literally, we got some real rain today too...and that helped put a smile on my face, even if it didn't last long.
 
abraham doing a little drawing with the right hand, pinkie up. 
 then a little drawing with the left.
 then i realized the string connected to the doodle was all tangled up, so he couldn't draw on the whole board. i untangled it and he was set.
 seeeeeeeee.
 drawing is serious business for abraham.
 he asks to draw all the time and i love this hand me down doodle pro because i don't find pen marks all over the table, walls, body, or clothes(when he wears them;) when he's done:)
 being goofy on his way to repositioning himself.
 much better, way more comfy.
 tongue out to aid in concentration.
 levi asked to talk to g'ma and when he was done abraham wanted a turn.
 i love abe's eyes...like what is levi doing? 
 crazy clouds.
 enjoying the cooler weather.
 part blue, part black.
 pulling. 
 levi tying the wagon on.
 abraham trying with all his might to pull.
 so the chickens can get through the garden fence!!! the literally walk through these little squares. their feathers just make them look bigger. hahaha.
 silly girls.
 team work.
 last minute adjustment.
 mmm...still didn't work.
started to rain!!!

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 creation looked like a bouncy obstacle course.
