Hen House Names

Since the girls are Buckbeak, Luna, and Tonks; the kids thought it would be fun to name the hen house after a place in HP.
Here's what they've thought of so far:
Hagrid's Hut
Hogwart's School of Magical Eggs
Diagon Alley
The Burrow
Hen's Head (play on Hog's Head)
Shrieking Shack


Any favorites?

Chickens, Cats, Traps and Neighbors, oh my...

I was going to write it out but got distracted, had to do the dishes, and have come to not write out my thoughts. I was able to vent to a third party, thanks A. :)

In other news.......


The girls are going into the henhouse easy peasy now. I just have to tap on the side of the house and in they go. I'm excited that I don't have to chase each of them down to go into the house now. The dog still gets excited when they stretch their legs and wings, but for the most part is calming down. I haven't had to put a muzzle on her for a couple of days now. (She was attacking the fence, so I would put a muzzle on her if she wanted by the fence.) Now she'll lay close to the fence watching her chicken TV.

E is trying to figure out how to put a roof on the run. Right now we just have a tarp covering most of it. But I hate ducking and it's not predator proof. So it's a priority right now. (thought the girls are locked up in the house at night, I still worry.)

Uhm....what else?..... MadCars are just that. They're crazy. It's like the sun is spawning new, wild, crazy children for me. All the rain and now the sun to make it grow. Oye vay! It probably doesn't help that gpa buys sugarcicles for them to "cool" down with.

I better get to bed. well the kids to bed. nite.....

month in review pics


Fishing at Benson Lake. It was in May I think. I can't remember.


Park down the street from us.

I tried to get M to come down just a little so the sun could catch her, but she said it was too bright and wanted to be up higher.

M wearing Farbenmix Yola, was suppose to be for her birthday but she found it and wouldn't take it off for days. C is wearing his picked out space fabric. yucky poly from Joanns. Farbenmix Zoe top and self drafted shorts.
New mama pads for me. my others were getting pretty ragged. And well these are pul backed and smaller and a much better fit. makes a mama happy :)

M showing off her Redondo skirt with an elastic waist, which still falls off her butt if she doesn't wear training undies.
View of garden. The veggies are bigger now.

Free coop off of craigslist, before transformation.
Nugget on the left and Lucy on the right.

Robobug that was on a wooden gate.


S, M, and C at the Jr Rose Parade.
Buckbeak (black and white, barred rock) and Tonks. Luna is in the shadow.

Monkey girl climbed as high as she could to get the scissors and this is what happened....
