Whew!

Well, finally back! VBS is over and we're exhausted but we had a great time. It's always a fun time for the kids....and me too!  Now we'll slow down a little bit and see what we can get into outside. We've finally gotten some brown eggs! My son was really excited when he found it. He goes to the coop about five times a day to see how many he can find. It's really funny too because the chickens seem so proud when he finds all the eggs. They all follow him into the coop and they'll look at him, then the egg, then back at him, as if to say, "See, see, here it is!" Cracks me up. They have the funniest personalities. The other day we were all down the hill feeding them and one of those big oil trucks came by. My kiddoes love to make them  honk, so they waved their little arms and the truck let out a really loud honk... scared the chickens to death! They went crazy, making so much racket, and ran into the coop as if something was after them. It was very entertaining to watch. They're not quite as tough as they think they are. My son built them a little feeder last week and they really seem to like it. You know, it's amazing what you can do when you try to improvise. At the feed stores, they have all those nice feeders and waterers, but really, if you have some wood and somewhat of an imagination, you can do it all yourself and save a heapful of money....and have fun in the process!
I know in an earlier post I said I was going to learn something new everyday and then post it. Well..............I have tried to learn something but I haven't been so good at posting it. Maybe you should just forget I said that so that it will be a suprise when I actually get to it. :)
