Say hello to our little friends.

So the twins will be joining the local 4H peep's and squeeks group. In order to do so we had to have any of the following Rabbit, GuiniePig, Chicken, Duck, Geese,  Turkey or Quail.  Where we live says no farm animals so that means no Chickens, but they did not count Turkey,Duck, Geese, or Quail. So we settled on Quail. We are attempting to hatch them. 120 little eggs. The incubator is on loan from the local Co. Extension office. I love that place they pressure test caners and have some awesome programs. The twins will be raising some quail. We could have anywhere from zero to 120 little thumb size babies. We have found the extra if we have any a home on a friends land and many will make it in to the freezer 9-12 weeks after they they hatch. The twins are excited and so are man and I we miss fresh eggs and the bug control. When they hatch here first week in April we will up date with how many and photos.  The kids wanted to crack the eggs and play with them. Don't quite understand they are growing in there little homes.

Photo drop

It has been a while. Days just seem to fly by. Except for February it drug being the coldest location in the lower 48 for 2 days makes them drag. The local weather set a record. Below freezing for 23 days straight.  Yes you read that correctly. For 23 straight days it did not get above 32 deg. Its currently 42 out and I'm considering opening the windows during this heat wave.   
  Here are some photos from the last few mos. We brought snow inside to play with it. Had picnics on the floor. Been going to Home depots kid building weekends.  Went to a nice car show at the Oncenter, had a Love's assortment of eye candy. 
For the twins 6th birthday. Yes I said 6th. They chose to eat at the Roadhouse, they did not like being sung to or having all the attention. Mommy made cakes, we got some awesome gifts and things to do. Even some long term gifts to work on.  
 Mans waiting rather impatiently for this re up and people seem to be slow on paperwork. He is in his last to classes to get his degree. He says it feels like time is dragging.
