Fence Update

Yesterday morning, we put up 50 feet of 2 feet high chicken wire. Using wire pieces to “twist tie” it on to the existing fence. Lunch break!!

In the afternoon, we put up another 50 feet. Then I took the kids to the store and bought them a snack and we stopped and rented the movie “Elf” Mel has been wanting everyone to see. We got home at about 3 and we all crashed. oh my aching back!

When D got home, he and the kids put up another 100 feet of fence.

This morning, the kids and I went out and put up 100 feet of fence before lunch. Guess we’re getting the hang of it, and can go faster. My back is killing me! and my hands hurt really bad from the wires. BUT the goats can’t get out!! They had been just walkng around our yard, but yesterday morning, they were in the road! Very dangerous for little goaties! So now they can’t escape. For the moment. Until they figure out another way to get out. sigh

I forgot to mention that one Wednesday afternoon We went to see Ice Princess at the movies. We all really liked it. Well, Zachary said it was too long, and for the last 30 minutes or so was heaving very heavy sighs. ROFLOL He did take a hot wheels car out of his pocket (that I didn’t know he had) and drop it on the floor. Amazing, but it landed right side up, and proceeded to roll towards the front of the theatre. ROFLOL Of course, it had to be at a quiet moment in the movie, and you could hear it rolling down. ROFLOL There were only 3 adults and 4 small children there, besides us, so it wasn’t a big deal. I’ll just have to remember to check the boys pockes BEFORE I take him to the movies again. ROFLOL

After we left the movies we stopped at Tractor Supply for more fencing. And we brought home two little chicks. They are now LIVING in a bin in the LIVING room until they are big enough to go outside. No need to ask, yes, I am crazy. Hence the name of my blog. ROFLOL The chicks are named Duck and Goose. ROFLOL

Calen just yelled “One of the chicks tried to eat a lady bug!” Yes, Calen, chickens eat bugs. “Well what kinds of bugs, worms?” Yes worms, and any other bugs they can find. “Ok, let’s go outside and get a WHOLE bin of bugs and bring it in for them!!!!!”

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
