Snipetts from February

Well, Farmer Brady continues to feed and water the chickens even though they have stopped laying eggs.  We're starting to wonder about the purpose of it all.  They eat 50 lbs., they poop 50 lbs., and not one stinkin' egg!

 

 

Ada continues to experiment with hairstyles, much to Jude's delight.  On this day, he would hug her (nearly knocking her flat) saying, "Ada, you look so CUTE!!"

 

 

 Miss Pinky is on a mission to get to the other side -

 

 

 Jude is seriously contemplating going over the fence and down the steep bank.  I must admit he had some very compelling arguments in favor of said maneuver.  I told him to ask me again when he is six yrs. old, but I think he'll be doing it before then.  He's very strong and an excellent climber.  He can do it. 

 

 

And then it snowed.  And snowed.  It was beautiful and nobody could get here so I was holed up for days and attacked some great in-house projects that would make the most anal person smile! 

 

 

I was attacked by the birds while filling the feeder. 

 

 

Jude and Brady are both learning to read.  Actually, all of them are learning to read but Jude and Brady run around looking for words to read.  Here's a funny shot of Jude.  This is how I read the Sunday funnies, how about you? 

 

 

A large broken tree branch was hanging precariously over the backyard so Ben and Jude decided to eliminate the danger by looping a rope over it and attempting to bring it down. 

 

 

 

 

The Boss and his loyal subject:)

 

I just realized I don't have any pictures of Drew from February but the child did take home the gold for the Maneuver of the Month.  Drew and Brady were fighting a stomach bug for a few days and at one point Drew threw up down the heat vent!!  And I thought I'd seen everything.  Nice work, Drew.
