So I asked a question on FB this week about the age appropriateness, or more specifically the language content of the movie “The Princess Bride.” Typically, this isn’t an issue for me as I have a remarkable “movie memory” but for some reason I couldn’t remember this particular one that well. At least I couldn’t …

Craziness!
So, yesterday was a doozy of a crazy day! To the tune of one broken window, unfinished school work and 3 EXTREMELY hyper, and dramatic, whiney, quarrelsome kids! I’d like to know who snuck into my house in the middle of the night and gave my kiddos ADHD! 🙂 I’d have a thing or two …
The two P’s and some chicken stuff
Today I found a friend for Polly! Another Nigerian Dwarf named Polka! How cute is that? Polly and Polka! Polka has been raised by a lady who’s been breeding goats for 42 years!! She is also vice prez of the Arizona Goat Breeders Association, so she knows her stuff! She was so sweet and helpful, …
Pretty Polly our New Goat!
I can’t believe we are getting a goat!!!! Yay!!! It’s happening kinda like the day I left the house on a regular old shopping trip and came back with a dozen chicks. 🙂 Something we’ve been talking about, but thought it would happen “one day” and then BAM! that one day is here! 🙂 I …
Eggs and Eggs!
Yay! We have 4 layers!! I’m pretty sure it’s 2 of the Golden Girls, one Barred Rock, and a Leghorn. How do I know you may ask? Well, I’ll tell you. I know that Henny Penny was our first layer, and by the way she has laid like 4 or 5 double yolk eggs! Is …
Willy Nilly
This morning at breakfast the kids invented a character called “Tank” and kept asking me if Tank was a cartoon or pretend or something. I kept insisting that I did not know Tank, had never seen Tank and had no idea if Tank was a cartoon or a show or whatever. Weird! Then Myles said …
A whole year?
I can’t believe it’s been a year since our collective family went to Disneyland! I totally fell in love with Disney and cannot WAIT to go back!! I’m already thrilling with anticipation of seeing our Ella’s reaction to all the “Princesses.” What fun that will be! The boys are begging to go back and Myles …
Six days straight!
Going to the chicken coop or “Chicken Poop” as Ella calls it, is one of my favorite parts of the day! Henny Penny is going strong with 6 days in a row of laying! I’m impressed!! Of course, as Stuart reminded me, if they all lay this well we will have a dozen eggs a …
Stuffs
Today was the first day of school, bah-humbug! I’m still a little bitter that summer is over, but oh well! Apparently those of us who wan’t school to start AFTER Labor Day are in the minority. But homeschool takes care of that, ha! Anyway, if you want to read my thoughts on our first day …
Which Came First
… the chicken or the egg? Well, I can now unequivocally say that it was the chicken that came first. 😉 Not that I really was on the fence about this or anything. Ha ha! The other evening I went out to “put the chickens away” which means to close the coop door. They’re so …
