Exciting Sunday update on Monday!!

We were wakened by a very excited Jeffrey yesterday morning! Jeff went to take the dogs out and check on our chickens. He came back in showing us 8 eggs!!! Our girls finally produced eggs!


This morning Jeff checked and there were no eggs yet. I just checked to find 1 egg in the shavings.



Yesterday was a busy day around the house. With a week of 3 kids sick with H1N1 and Joe and I fighting colds; we were feeling quite blue about our lack of ambition and work produced. We definitely made up for it yesterday!!

Joe finished cutting small rocks to fill the bigger holes in our facade, then went on to mow the lawn one more time before winter. (it looks so nice!) He moved the camper back and ready for a dumpster and the plow to be moved from the shed. He emptied and winterized the Hot Tub, and was able to organize the shed a bit more. Finally he came back inside to tape and edge the pantry and closet doors and help me hang curtains in the livingroom.

I was on house duty and managed to do a load of laundry, fill the dishwasher and wash all our finds from Saturday. I straightened the kitchen and swept all the floors. Jeff took care of the chicken coop, Matt cleaned the bathroom and dusted our bedroom, Jess dusted the livingroom and kitchen and then went on to help me move some furniture around the house. Needless to say; the house was back in order and ready for me to do some sanding and painting of the stairs to the second floor. My projects for this week.

After returning from the weekly run to WalMart; we all helped to cook chicken alfredo,brown rice, egg noodles, and a romaine tomato cuke avocado and boiled egg salad.

A great way to end a fruitful day! Take care and talk to you soon!
