The new coop is up and going. I will upload a few pics here soon. The chickens are loving the heated accomidations, they have started laying again. BRAVO! Cecilia and I added two new ladies to the flock the other day. The farmer said they are New Hampshires, but I do not think in his eyes there are actual different breeds besides dead and not dead. So we have 6 ladies and 6 chicks with a egg or two a day. I hope the spring kicks up the laying. I cleaned out the coop yesterday and to my suprise there were 4 eggs under the tarp where I keep the hay. LITTLE BITCHES! That is white gold in a shell I had to throw AWAY! The eggs went into the compost heap to feed my veggies. I really cannot wait to start the garden in the spring. It is the farmer's life for me...
The whole family went to the IMA, Indiana Art Museum, today. Cecilia was interested in paintings with animals, children and naked boobies. She also loved the clay baby dolls from the asia artifact area. The funny part of the trip was when we were in the modern art floor and a sculpture looked like a genitalia of a man. So I leaned over to Abby and told her what it expressed to me as I was holding Ceci. Cecilia decides yell out "PENIS". Not just once but twice in a very loud voice. We had a good laugh.
With all the snow covering Indy, I bought Cecilia a new sled. This sled is perfect for her. It is kind of like a toboggan with a back and side rails. Saturday We bundled up the chub chub and took her for a ride around the block. The sled has two runners on the bottom made out of plastic. It turns on a dime and is very easy to pull, not like pulling 20 pounds of chub chub is hard anyways. So we were out on the street going for a walk and I was kind of whipping her around in circles. She was having a blast. Abby decided to film a couple of stunts and thats when it happened. The sled hit a groove in the snow and Cecilia went flying. We ran to her side while she laid face down. As I picked her up, Abby was brushing her white coverd face off. She cried a little and was ready to go at it again. What a sport. The great thing is, Abby has it all on tape. So everyone can see my parenting skills at their best.
Birth of second chub chub is nearing, be ready world......
