My second sons guinea pig passed away Thursday. He was over 3 years of age. Even though he was the worst Guinea pig we ever had my son still loved him. As his siblings came around him to comfort him, I was yet happy and sad. Happy his siblings were there for him but sad I couldn’t take the sadness away from his heart. I do have to say that even though my son is sad about the loss of his pet I will not miss the little jerk .. he would bite me everytime I would clean out his cage or give him food/ water. He was a mean little guy! Even though he was a mean little a-hole I still hope he ended up in heavan and I hope that hes living it up because well if animals do go to hell .. I hope some kid is not biting his elbows like he did to mine! Rest in peace Lou the Guinea pig you will be missed by my son and only God knows why he loved you so much even though you were evil to him. #guineapigwassentfromevil #ifeelformyson #hopeyouhadagoodthreeyearswithusyoulittlebitter

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and a safe black Friday if you went shopping! I stayed home with the kids we relaxed and did some cleaning. Sadly our dishwasher is broken 😢. My girls ( chickens) always know how to make me smile. Before starting the dishes from breakfast I went out to give the girls their breakfast.

Bella is giving that look of hurry up lady! Poor Bella still going through her molt too! #hobby #backyarding #mygirls #pleaseshare #pleasefollow #thankyou #chickens #chook #feedingtime #breakfast #hurryupandfeedmebecauseeventhoughimachickenieatlikeapig

The kids and I are on vacation for a week! Yay, no school. I’ve been looking forward to this for a while. Today we got done with school at a good time so I went out and spent some time with the girls. My one girl wakita was in the nesting box. Out of all the girls she is the one who will peck you if you try to take the eggs she is sitting on.

Wow November already! One of my favorite holidays is Thanksgiving. We rarely celebrate the holiday on the actual date of the holiday, due to my husband work schedule. I actually like celebrating it on another day it teaches my kids that the date doesn’t matter. What matters is that the ones you love and care about are all there with you! 🖤🖤

Cleaning out the girls (chickens) feeders today and Bella decided she wanted to help clean up😂😂.

As you can see she eyeing the pile of feed I dumped out lol it won’t be there long! She is also going through a molt. I hope this molt doesn’t take long. #moltingcansuck #imgladidontdothat #hobby #backyarding #mygirls #chook #molt #feed #getthatfeed

A fun day today! My good friend set up for a bunch of us to go to the pumpkin patch! The kids had a blast they loved the animals and picking out pumpkins. We even did two corn mazes one was small the corn husks only came up to my hip that’s my kinda corn maze. The other corn maze was normal size corn husks. A few years ago I got lost in a corn maze for about two hours I had visions of my tombstone saying..if only she took that second left she would of made it out of the maze. My kids had made fun of me for getting lost … I had sworn that I wouldn’t ever go into another maze unless I had flares and spray paint! Today when my kids all wanted to go into the big maze my first thought was.. at least this time I have my best friends going in this maze with their families. Now we can all be lost together and maybe we can get a deal on tombstones! Ha ha.

Needless to say we all made it out and had fun … do I ever want to go back into a corn maze… well we will see how brave I am next Halloween!

One of my best friends painted me some flamingos! I’m absolutely in love with it and I can’t thank her enough for thinking of me!

Now I need to find a place to hang it! I’m thinking I’ll use her idea and get a frame for it. #sheknowshowmuchIloveflamingos #flamingos #hobby #backyarding #bestfriends #lovemybestfriend #pink #sheissotalented #shealsocrochetsawsomestuff #thankyouforthinkingofme

I’m super excited that my quail egg cartons came! This evening I got my labels out on them. I’m glad I listened to one of my good friends and I printed the labels!

I also got my chicken egg cartons in a while ago. Now I have my new labels on them.

I still am in love with my pink egg cartons. I don’t think I’ll change from them anytime soon. #hobby #backyarding #mygirls #chook #chickens #quail #eggs #pink #food #imcrazyformyeggcartons #lovemyname #somewomenloveshoesiloveeggcartons #pleasefollow #pleaseshare #thanksforreading #cleareggcartons

It’s that time of the year when everything is pumpkin themed! My girls (chickens) get their share of pumpkin fun too. Thankfully they really don’t care on presentation of their pumpkins. 😂😂😂🖤🖤🖤 pumpkin is cool it’s a natural worm preventative but not a cure.

My quail chicks are one week old today! I’m loving their personality in this batch. They are acting just like chickens very interested in the camera among other things. 🤣🤣

Iam also loving the stare down this one chick likes to give.

My kids are loving this little one. Its markings are really neat! #hobby #backyarding #quail #cuteandsmall #coturnix #pleaseshare #pleasefollow #thankyou #oneweekold
