Catching up...

SO, we are 3 days from August, which means we are only 21 days from the first day of the new school year! I am most definitely ready for the kids to go back.  They are bored and bickering! It has been WAY too hot to do anything besides play at the pool! As a result, my little white kids are showing their Native American roots! LOL  

The garden is growing! I am picking cucumbers, tomatoes and okra daily now! My pepper plants got off to a rough start, and I haven't got to pick ONE yet! Maggie is dying for some stuffed peppers, hopefully soon!  

I am working on some cute things for a few new second cousins of mine!  I really love to sew, but it sure is hard to concentrate when the kids are running around screaming! 

The chickens are growing well, and are finally in their 'mostly-finished' coop.  I think they are really enjoying it! Our rooster Matt has found his voice and it is the funniest thing! We should start seeing eggs sometime in September! We were very upset to come home last month and find that 4 of our 7 chicks had been killed by a stray dog :(  I have plans to replace them...( plus a few more LOL) soon.  I wasn't really eager to have new chicks so soon, but I think its the best way to go to avoid disease and to make sure they are as tame as possible! 

The kids went to VBS a few weeks ago and had a blast!  I even managed to get a picture of them on the final night....TOGETHER! This is a rarity these days! LOL 

Hopefully I can put up a more organized and interesting blog post this weekend! I have lots of things to say/write, but my brain seems to be failing me at the moment!
