Oh how natural having chickens has been for these kids. Makes me want a bigger property and more animals! I love it I love it I love it!
I so love the idea of them having these memories, being more then just video game and tv junkies. My kids would MUCH rather play outside then watch TV.
I am so proud of them. I love the way they get filthy. I love the creativity that comes with playing outside as a kid. I love watching them play and play and play and the things they can come up with (with our ghetto makeshift outdoor toys). It's on our *to buy* list very far at the bottom. One day they might figure out that ice cream buckets and water bottles aren't the coolest outdoor toys hahaha.

Tumble
Beckham had quite the tumble this morning. Had me quite panicking that teeth may be lost, stitches might be needed.
This little boy is a boy. He is a mans man. He is as tough as nails.
The amount of blood was unreal, you could literally hear him gulping it (gag). I was covered in it, he was covered in it.
In the end he was smiling and laughing y me. It took me awhile to turn off the panic alarm.
(The panic alarm in my heart...not an actual old person panic button---although that would be awesome to have something like that)

Cat&Mouse
Yesterday I had my massage therapist appointment in the evening so Brent was on baby duty.
Oh man, he is my favourite man I have ever met. In the middle of my appt I hear my phone beep a few times. I ignore it. It beeps again. I ignore it.
As soon as my appt is done I quickly go to my phone just in case it was important.
Well sure enough I get updates on our ya latest kill and how him and Audrey are watching our cat tare the mouse apart---maybe hear if crunching some bones hahaa...oh mercy. All I can say is Audrey is going to have some funky and interesting father daughter memories...hopefully no nightmares.
I was so impressed though Brent had the whole life&death&foodchain talk. Lets be honest if we didnt tell Audrey that Cats eat mice like we eat dinner we might find her in the yard trying to catch mice thinking they would be a tasty snack 😁(jokes, maybe haha)
***we saw Spicy kill a mole before just never a mouse so it was big news haha**

Bedtime shenanigans
With Audrey and Beckham sharing a room we have been pleasantly delighted. It's so darling to see Beckham be super upset if Audrey doesn't sleep in his room.
They go down fantastically 99.9% of the time. The other night we heard some 'chirps' here and there so when we went to check on them we found two little monkeys curled up in Beckham's crib. It was SO cute!

Over easy
So this morning I served up our first eggs. The first official taste had to be pure so we did fried eggs over easy so we could actually taste the eggs.
I made store bought kind and our fresh eggs so we could compare!
***this was all kinda a big deal***
Brent was sceptical because he didnt want brown eggs. I had to reassure him that the only different between a white and brown egg is what colour ear lobes the hen had.
To my delight Brent's words were, 'these ones are way better' when talking about OUR eggs! Woohoo! (Phew because if we get free eggs I ain't buying white eggs for my husband because brown eggs weird him out)
Now I just need to convince him that blue and green eggs are just as yummy! I really wanted a bird that laid colorful eggs because that would be SO cool!
Anyways thumbs up chickens---you did good!

Mud----nude
Audrey was playing in the mud (this is super normal haha)
She got filthy
I was reading a book and not paying attention.
I then looked up when I heard her say, 'I'm dirty I'm going to have a bath'
Oh man this girl can strip faster then anyone I've met---I also haven't been around that many people that strip down to there birthday suits.
In the blink of an eye I realize I'm chasing my filthy naked wild toddler into the house. Praise The Lord we don't have neighbours close---they might get an eyeful of who knows what daily.

Eggs!!
So I'm a little obsessed with our chickens, and everything that comes along with them 😬
I called the hatchery the other day to see when I could expect them to start laying eggs....they said 4 weeks. Well much to my DELIGHT I got my first egg a few hours later! Then another one the next morning!
I already have dreams of a bigger coop and more chicks! I'm LOVING it!!
