Are we too busy??? Naw..... well maybe.

We have been beyond busy the last two months. Like I mean seriously. BEYOND BUSY! I'll fill ya in. ;)

- As you already know we have a new puppy. He is bad. Not horrible, just a puppy. He needs a LOT of attention. He is so smart though! He is 9 weeks old and can sit, lay down, fist bump/shake, sort of stay, and we are working on roll over. His potty training is going good too.

- We have three new cats. Two of them are females, both pregnant!

- We have had chickens for a few years. Only 2-6 at a time because we just wanted some eggs. This year things changed. We have 41 chickens! We wanted meat chickens so we went to Rural King and bought 30 chicks. Then Mom went to Rural King again and bought 6 more. The three layers we already had stopped laying so we bought three more layers at an auction.

- We also bought two ducks. They are so messy! Like, they are really gross! Blah.

- We are trying to be very self sufficient and want to raise all of our own meat. That's why we also bought 4 meat rabbits at an auction. The two females are pregnant! One is due really soon!

- Speaking of the auction, the last three Wednesdays we have gone to an Amish auction. It is so fun. They sell rabbits, chickens, calves, goats, plants, eggs, and there is a flea market. It's not really an Amish auction, most of the people are farmers, it's just in Amish country.

- I have been studying for my learners permit. I get it in 25 days! I have a lot of practicing to do. Since at the moment I can hardly turn without going over the curb I don't think I will get to drive home...

- We are going to do school through the summer this year. :( I don't mind actually. I get bored halfway through the summer and can't wait to start school again!


Now don't go thinking we are the insane animal people. We just started a mini farm overnight! You know. No big deal. ;)
