Hey, friends!
Today was a TOTAL mom day. Ok. Maybe I just mean it was a MONDAY. haha!
Let me clarify.
Every day is a mom day for me{which I love}, but some days it just seems like all you do is go from one thing to the next with no break in between. Make sense? I usually sneak in a project here and there, or something that I, personally, like to do besides cater to four HUNGRY, hyper, needy children! LOL!
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE staying home with my kids and wouldn't have it any other way. :-)

{Really, they ARE sweet. When they're fed.}
Truthfully, I'm very blessed! My {older} daughters totally help me out and lighten the load for me. I have delegated laundry, vacuuming, lawn mowing, chicken/duck care{heehee} to my girls, and although I'm a total control freak, my life runs so much more smoothly when I let them help. :-)
But it's not easy for me to do.
Today, lots of laundry was done, meals were prepared, I cleaned out the vacuum, vacuumed the whole house{it's small, so it doesn't take long...YAY!}, intervened to several near disasters{not really}, broke up some wrestling matches{really}, and was drill sargeant to some urchins my children who seem to think our yard is their dumping spot for empty cracker boxes and other various items....REALLY?????
*sigh*
I guess I'll keep repeating myself. :-)
GO PICK THAT UP!!!!!! {or else you'll be grounded for a YEAR}!!!
Well, the chicken coop project is well under way and I have several photos to share with you, but first I need to get them off of my camera. You see, I got all giddy one day with the progress my husband was making, so I grabbed the camera ans started snapping away.
Only problem? The SD card wasn't IN IT! Total bummer.
AND...I cannot find the cord to transfer them. Anyone out there know how I can get them off{maybe transfer TO the SD card or something???}
Ugh.
Anyway, I really want to post the progress IN ORDER, so I'll have to figure that out and somehow get those pictures!
*on temporary hiatus due to operator error*
While you're waiting for me to get myself together, here are some shots of the boys 'building' with their dad today.
Henry and his stool that he built{mostly}! He was VERY proud!
Here is Jack avoiding the camera having a good 'ol time!
He built a stool, too, but wouldn't stand still long enough for me to get a pic.
Do you see the progress on the coop?!?! YAY! We are buying paint tomorrow and finishing the back wall.
Then....SHEATHING!
- sheath·ingnoun /ˈSHēT͟HiNG/
sheathings, plural- Protective casing or covering
- Sheets of rigid material (often plywood) attached to the framework of a building to strengthen it and to underlie siding or roofing
- Protective casing or covering
Sorry, I always thought it was SHEETING...as in sheets of wood, but no. It's sheathing.
Lesson learned.
Guess what else happened today?
We were the recipients of a MAJOR award.
Remember this movie?
- Alright, so it's not a leg lamp, but it did come in a box that looks like this...
....and it was 'FRA-GEEEE-LAY'.
What a great surprise it was!
I'll show you some pictures of our prize very soon. :-)
I hope you had a wonderful day!
Blessings,
xoxoxo
