Sense my shoulder is still hurting I can’t do any yard work so sadly moving the large rocks to get the garden beds made will have to wait ☹. However my second oldest son did his turn tonight at baking! He made brownies😁, He did a great job. My daughter and I made flowers out of toilet paper rolls. She did a good job at helping, next we have to paint them and add the glitter.

With fall comes the changing of leaves, the crisp cool air, pumpkin latte commercials up the wazoo, and pumpkins themselves. I gave the girls (chickens) some pumpkin tonight. They enjoyed it very much in fact they had it almost all gone before I could even snap a photo of them.

My oldest son has taken it upon himself to bake cookies! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 This is his first time baking anything! He did a great job making and baking the sugar cookies. His siblings want him to bake more 🤣🤣🤣#helpful son #anothercookinthehouse

Cleaning out the coop and one of the girls ( chickens) wants some loves! My black Australorp wanted some loves this time. She jump up on my lap, which if your gonna do that it means selfie time. However I will need to add some dirt to the bottom of their coop because the girls are digging!

Love my warmers! Last night I wrenched my neck and shoulder, so I haven’t gotten too much done around here today. I was trying to move the treadmill by myself.. shouldn’t of done that. 😣 … but my wonderful husband got me a new wax for my wamrer! It’s honey crisp cider and it smells wonderful! #lovefall #lovewarmers( my elephant warmer)

One of my girls (chickens) laid a tiny tiny egg! The excitement of our first egg wasn’t nearly as fun as this tiny egg. All my kids (even my teenager) think it’s super cool!🤣 My one son asked ” what are we going to do with it” my other son said ” hello, it’s an egg you eat it”. They decided that we should make it for their baby brother sense he is small and so is the egg🤣🤣 watching them go back and forth about this was like watching a sitcom. #tinyegg #funnykids

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!
