Chirp, Chirp, Chirp

They are here and they are adorable.
 We finished up school work today and took a field trip to Theisens!
 Poor Dixie(the dog) is unfortunately wired to want to get the birds.
I'm sure she will get used to them.   
 The kiddos can't get enough. 
We played and looked at them for the first two hours of getting them home.  
 Oscar is a bit of a Chicken Whisperer.  
None of the chicks chirp when being held by him.  
I'm attributing that to his nurturing nature.
Once they drink, they tilt their heads up to the sky...it's amazing. 
We have 7 in total(not all named yet):
2 Ameraucanas- Matilda and Nora
2 Production Red Pullets
1 Black Australorp
1 White Leghorn- Big Bird
1 Isa Brown

I love them already and can't wait to stare at them tomorrow!

It's been a ride...

this last weekend.  
I have thanked my family who have been through a bit of my 
'crazy' this week.
I co-hosted a Trivia Night with my good friend 
for our church on Friday and it was a success.  
The next morning, 
I cleaned my house to prep for a bridal shower for my future sister-in-law.
It turned out to be a wonderful day with family and friends.
I am feeling blessed, thankful, and humbled for
all the support from family and friends.
Don't forget to hug your loved ones today...
I know I will be!

Living Waters

We had a wonderful field trip with a homeschooling group this past Thursday!
We attended a great camp close to our house called Living Waters Bible Camp.
 The first part of the day was set aside for our sensory hike.
Due to the rain, we had it indoors, 
but they still did a great job teaching all the lessons 
and included hands on projects!
 Ms. Ruth was a wonderful teacher and the kiddos loved the taste portion!
 After lunch, the kids got ready for the bread of life portion, 
and made their own chef hats.
We were so impressed with all the instructors there. 
Ms. Joy was a great teacher and very patient.
 Then mixed out all the ingredients for the bread and 
rolled out bread sticks that they got to taste test.
 Oscar's favorite thing was the grinder...
I'm pretty sure he offered to grind all our flour if we would make/buy a hand grinder:)
 Then we had some free time in the recreation room.
 They had ping-pong and Foosball tables.
We met some great families.
 It reminded me of the camp I went to as a kid, but with a bit different scenery.
 Evie loved the playground!
 There is Joey climbing like a monkey. 
We had a great day and can't wait to go back!
