Chicks.

There are 25 of these little furry things in there!


I have yet to hold one.

 (To be honest, I don't really want to. They're food, not pets)

Although my kids constantly want to hold them.

I told Trevor I'll take care of the dog if he takes care of the chicks.

So far it's working out really well.

But I'm afraid that Carl is going to get hungry and eat one.

And that would completely gross me out.


The other day, I couldn't find Carl and so I went to the laundry room and found him laying on the floor by

the chicks, trying to sleep, or trying to get up the courage to see what was in the box.

I took a head count and luckily all were still there, alive and chirping.


Just an FYI:
*We do not have a good, working camera at our house right now. So most pictures for the time being are going to be very, very bad since I have to use my phone.

Maybe... Carl wants to protect the chicks?? ;o)
I'm excited to hear about your experience with the chickens. I would like to have some, someday; for eggs and meat. (Maybe this sounds psycho... but I really want to see Trevor kill and skin one.) I think the first animal Scott wants to have is a pig. I want to think it's for food, but the way he talks... it sounds more like a "cute" pet.(?? L.O.L.)
I'm sorry to hear about your camera not working... You are seriously welcome to borrow my old Canon compact, point-and-shoot. It's just sitting on our computer desk, collecting dust. If not... I hope you get a new one for your birthday because I/we enjoy *seeing* what's going on with your family.
(Yikes! Sorry about the long comment here...)

After having raised hundreds of these thing when I was young; I promise that the cute will soon wear off. Interesting note there are several documented cases of cows eating chicks like these.

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
