What do I do when the baby only let’s you get an hour of sleep the whole night? Get up and make muffins for the kids! I so wish I could of tried to get a morning nap but school starts at 8am. I got to spend some time with my chickens this morning, my ayam cemani was in the nest boxes. She doesn’t like it when I open the nesting box door to look in. She squawks at me very loudly. Reminds me of when you get Walk in on while going to the bathroom by your kid. Does the kid ever get out? Nope they most likely come in maybe even shut the door behind them then start playing with stuff in the bathroom. So being the “kid “this morning I had to get some cool photos. #lovemychickens. #nosleep

Today didn’t get as much done as I would of liked but I did get my small project done. One of my best friends 💜 sent me the phrase ” be you do you for you” I loved it so much that I painted over what I had written. My ” d ” is a little off but I still think it looks pretty good! Now I just need to find a place to hang it. 😂😂 which is the hard part ha ha!

My daughter was so excited yesterday! She has been working on her wild flower garden, one of her flowers bloomed! Seeing the smile on her face was wonderful. As for me I didn’t get to any projects but we did get to do family movie. I really liked the Captian Underpants movie the only thing that was missing was nachos 😂😂😂

What do you do when school takes forever to get done for the day, it’s raining, and the youngest of kids are so extremely fussy, Not a whole lot. Eggs and waffles for dinner and watching the kids play Minecraft! Honestly not my favorite thing to watch 😂😂 but we can do it as a family and that is all that matters.

On a warm Sunday afternoon… some might be going to the movies, having a bbq, or watching football… me I’ve been painting, and watching the dog chase her tail for the past 10 mins. 😂😂😂😂. I got the leaves done on my boards today, still not sure what I want to write on it or if I want to just paint over what words I did put on there and put a tree on it. For dinner I’m making pepperoni grilled cheese sandwiches! With white sauce my kids don’t care red sauce that much anymore.

When your doing school with the kids and you have to stop to see what your chicken is clucking so loudly about…. an egg lol she laid an egg. She is pretty darn proud of her self! As you can see in the photo she let me get a close up of her. I guess if I Laid an egg in the morning I would be pretty happy about it too.. normally she only lays in the evening..😂😂😂

What do you do when you have a crazy day with the kids.. I’m talking about school is paused due to doctors appointment, the weather is bad, and you forget to take something out of the freezer for dinner… you pick up Taco Bell and call it family night! Lol. As my oldest said .. hey mom taco Tuesday cool. Even with the pause for the doctor appointment we still got done all that was needed on our plan for school!

I’m finally done with redoing the fish tank stand! I’m very happy with how it turned out. It did take me a little longer to get it done, my baby wanted to help… a lot! After all the little hands that got turned blue from grabbing the paint I would like to say I wouldn’t change a thing… Lol I would change the little blue hand prints that are now on my other wall.

Happy labor day weekend! Our weekend will be celebrating our babys first birthday! I can’t believe that it has been a year, We are doing a lumber jack theme birthday, I made blue cup cakes and will be putting red frosting with little black lines going a cross them, then topping it off with little axes. Hopefully I will be getting some project’s done before we celebrate!

What a long day! We didn’t get done with school until late in the day and the baby was very fussy! My projects got put on hold for the day, but that’s okay because watching my kids play outside on this nice summer day is worth it all. I love how they include their baby brother who will be turning one on Saturday! He also took two steps today, seeing the look on his sibling’s faces as he takes those steps is just priceless.
