The Bunch Babies FINALLY Start Laying!!!

 

Baby hen egg next to a normal hen egg. Yes, we have chickens that lay blue and green eggs!

Obviously, that doesn't include Mr. Murdoch, though he has learned how to sing the egg song. He is very confused! After what has felt like an eternity, but in reality was just a super long 5 months, the new hens are starting to lay! So far only 3-4 of the 9 have started laying, but all of them should be laying within the next 2 weeks. The first eggs are about half the size of a normal egg, but after about 6 weeks they'll be normal size. All I know is caring for 21 chickens is a lot more work than caring for 12! I figured it would be pretty much the same stuff we have to do every day, but in reality it is the same stuff we were doing now we just do it twice as long! They are super fun to watch though and even though we are no longer worried too much about Mr. Bobcat, I still sometimes just sit out there with them in the morning and watch them.

Both T and L have completely recovered from their week at camp and fortunately no one was sick, just really tired. T has basketball tryouts this week, but I am not too worried about it. Something really bad would have to happen for him NOT to make the team. Speaking of basketball, T decided after all that he would cut his prize winning mullet. He felt the length was interfering with his ability to see in his peripheral vision. Apparently, third place out of a few hundred was enough and he's happy so off with the mullet! 

The end of the mullet.


He has curly hair like me. It was so long I had to cut it with scissors before I could shave him.

Wow! He looks different!

My baby❤️💕💜

D spent hours redoing the fence, making the strands tighter, and adding an extra strand so that way the horses couldn't get in. As you see, everything went according to plan. Totally worth it.😂

T went to get new everyday shoes and this time we had his feet measured. It turns out he actually has a narrow foot, which made my choice to not order wide basketball shoes so much better. So as it turns out, our scientific foot measurement a couple weeks ago was accurate. 😂. He has now played in his new basketball shoes and loves them.

The Bunch Are Off To A Wonderful 2025 And Are Considering A Change 🤔

It's official, she has a college diploma!! Besides totally enjoying a drama free year, we have been consciously spending time doing things as a family and spending time with each child doing things they enjoy. D has been playing ball and watching movies with his larger "mini me" while A and I have been spending a lot of time in Dallas going to the theatre. A absolutely loves going to see off Broadway productions! I won't be surprised in the slightest if she ends up getting season tickets. Dallas Broadway does a lottery to each show where if they draw your name you have 3 hours to buy tickets for $39 each including all fees! That is an absolute steal! She actually won the lottery on Tuesday so we went that night to see the production of "& Juliet". The seats she won were FANTASTIC! They don't give you cheap seats in the back for the lottery. You win good seats. The seats we ended up with worked out to be only about a quarter of the regular price! We h...

The Bunch Celebrate Christmas

  It's become tradition for T to wear a Santa hat on Christmas. Our Christmas was pretty low key. D was able to go in late so he was able to have Christmas with us before he went to work which was really nice. The kids and I packed up and moved Christmas brunch to C&H's house since he needs to stay close to home and we worried about the lack of emergency care both on the way to our house and while here. I made up a potato casserole ahead of time, brought stuff for garden scrambled eggs, and banana bread while H made a really good cranberry punch and some pigs in a blanket. I have to say for only 5 people we had a ton of food! In fact, T ate so much for brunch I don't think he really ate anything for the rest of the day. He also finished his very last hour of driving on his way back home! Driver's license here we come....next week! After the mess Axl made last time we left him in his crate, we reenforced the doors with zip ties. We also made sure to take him on a wal...

The Bunch Visit Family

  We had fun playing some board games...and it wasn't even a fun jar idea! We just did it because it sounded like fun! The fun jar has been a little slow being implemented this year. T made sure to let me know! We're making up for it next week by drawing several things.  We have had a wonderfully busy week visiting family and getting things done around the house. We went over to my parents house to celebrate Father's Day and while the boys played games with Grandpa, the girls went with Grandma to show her what all the fuss about Trader Joe's is about. She enjoyed looking at all the different things and even found a few gems of her own. It was a nice day and fun to get out together for a little bit. We had a great day!🥰 We picked up Whataburger for my Dad as a treat and my mom made some tots and a side salad up to go with it.💗 We also had a nice long visit with our Aunt P. She's been under the weather and we hadn't had a visit in a couple weeks so it was nice t...
