Saturday

 Almost 2! The twins have potty-trained themselves, even naps and nights- crazy girls! Fine with me, of course. :)

 Anne, pretending that sweeping is SUCH hard work... :)

 We got to watch Kale'a while Laura and Caleb picked up my parents from the airport. Cutey even with a runny nose.  :)

 The girls like to draw. We've had to hide our printer paper.

 Peter spent his hard-earned money from taking care of our neighbor's dog to buy two guns- one for himself and one for Elijah. So now they can vent on the cleaning lists... Pretty sure Peter's not going into any cleaning service when he grows up... ;)

 Our peach tree survived the winter just fine, only to be killed by our Spring. Sigh. What might have been.

 The almond is doing fine now, we'll see what Winter/Spring do to it!

 The chickens are so ugly now, but really fun to watch. They seem to think of me as their mother hen and follow me like puppies any time I'm around. Better than pecking me. I've never really like chickens, especially roosters, and part of me just wants to butcher them and be done with them, but Christian says that would be silly since they're supposed to be starting to lay eggs in the next month or so. Oh well. In the meantime we're trying to train them to actually roost at night on their roosts and not in the nest boxes! Training chickens is tedious. But last night two of them got it right! There's hope! :)

 Itty baby green beans!

 Cabbage! Yum!

 Bell peppers

We're so happy to have my parents back and can't get enough time with them! One of these days we'll remember to pull out the camera while they're around. :) Have a great day!!!
