A fast pace day and my girls (chickens) are being super loud.🤣🤣🤣 At first I thought one had laid an egg, they love to let everyone know when they have done this. Silly girl (chicken) just wanted some attention! As always when I go out I check their food and water, my buff orpington was following me around the coop. I bent down to get her a pet but I guess that wasn’t good enough, she jump up on my lap. So all that squawking was just saying get out here and see me.🤣🤣🤣#crazychicken #loud

When you ask your kids to line up so you can get a cute fall photo of them and they act silly! look at that they even got the one year old in on it. 🤣🤣. This will be our new family fall tradition 🤣🤣 seeing how the back of their heads have changed from fall to spring.

My daughter is such a good helper when it comes to checking on the girls (chickens). She still gets very excited when they have laid an egg! Today is a little chilly out, the crunch of the leaves is not only from the kids playing in them but from the chickens also! they made a small pile for the chickens to play in as well. They hid some mealworms in there for them to find. Yum yum 🤣 Also I’m excited because now you can follow me on Twitter!

On a lazy Sunday! I worked on my painting, I’m happy with how it turned out. My daughter enjoyed going out and playing with the girls today ( chickens). She told her brothers that she wished that they could have another sibling, she would like a little sister. I said sweet heart you do have little sisters. She looked at me puzzled. I went on to tell her that she has a black Australorp, buff orpington, and an ayam cemani for sisters and they are the best kind of sisters they give her eggs! 🤣🤣🤣 My daughter was not amused by this. .. her brothers however found it funny!

What is it about fall weather that makes almost everyone happy? For some it’s all the pumkpin stuff for others it’s the weather cooling off or the smells like Apple crisp honey candles. For me it’s the leaves, I love the changing colors of them, one of my favorite things to do is to sit with a mug of hot Apple cider and watch my kids play, they get excited when a leaf slowly makes its way down for them to put into a pile to jump in.

Today I made two desserts. One is mini individual apple pies. The recipe called to make a lattice with the dough on top but I decided to do something a little bit more fun and cut the dough into little circles and make flowers on top. I think they turned out cute( they are not baked yet in the photo). The other is mint chocolate cover brownie cheesecake, first time making this one also. I think it turned out well also.

A while back ago I did a post about some food from the Gourment Cupboard! My friend sent me some of the dips. I made the Ranch dressing one, for me it was spicy but that could just be me. Other than the kick it was good, just used tortilla chips but I’m sure it would go great as a dip for veggies. 🤣🤣🤣. Tomorrow I will be trying the cheesecake dip with Graham crackers. They have many other things available from snacks to dinners. Give it a look! Www.thegourmetcupboard.com/sites/shaunasever8394.

When the weather turns nice and I finally get some time to go out and see my girls! ( chickens) I love how they are kinda like dogs and cats just want to be petted and shown love, she raise her butt just a little bit when I pet her🤣. This is my black Australorp. I love her feathers as you can see when the sun hits you can see the green in them. I’m waiting for her to molt so I can take her feathers clean them and make a wreath out of them.

It’s been a long couple of days here at my house hold. The kids have their things to do around the house they do dishes ( the older kids/teen) and the younger one have to pick up toys. If there is one chore I hate doing is folding the laundry! I don’t mind washing it and drying it. So I pile it up and my WONDERFUL husband folds it all on his days off😍. I think it’s great when my husband and children help out around the house.. after all the kids are the ones who mess it up 😂😂😂😂

After a long day of doing school with the kids, cooking, and getting some cleaning done. I told the older kids to go outside to play. I got mess around and paint One of my small vases. I think it looks cute! of course my daughter says as she running inside to grab more toys to take outside “mom that looks awesome.” 😁 she is trying to butter me up as she gives me the wonderful smile of hers, she knows I don’t allow that many toys to be taken out🤣🤣🤣.
