oops.

i had every intention of making a father's day post
& then the weekend got away from me.

saturday had me moving seedlings into a raised bed that matt made for me.
(he's awesome like that)

then sunday morning, after talking to my wonderful dad on the phone,
we took off and spent a couple of hours walking through wapakoneta.
what the heck is wapakoneta, you ask?

well, neil armstrong was born there...it's called moon city
& with a population of less than 10,000, it's an adorable little place.
there are several antique and thrift stores, which we LOVE.

the coolest part about it all...it was matt's idea.
so he spent his father's day just how he wanted to. ♥

if you're reading this on the day i'm writing it...
(depending on how many more pix i take in the meantime)
you can look over in the right hand picture column --->
& see a few pix i took via instagram
while we were walking around.
it was an awesome day.

tomorrow i will resume the chicken posting.
only 2 more girls to go
& then you'll again be subjected to my random babbling.


have a great monday!
it's the beginning of a brand new week, do something amazing!

xox.

a morning at the park

gorgeous day + munki + our cameras = a great start to our wednesday...

 

cutest munki ever.

munki took this picture and insisted that i share it, so here it is =]

fountain at faurot park.

fynche & frank enjoyed the park too.

munki took several pictures of herself & her dolls with her camera too...

those will be up on her flickr later today at some point.
hope you are having a nice wednesday, wherever you are ♥

xox.

sprinklers & chickens

sprinklers have never been so awesome.

watching munki run through them is such a treat.

sometimes she seems like she's growing up way too fast.

but...as she runs through the sprinkler, she can't hide her joy.

as a mother...one of the greatest gifts in this life

is watching my child enjoy every bit of a simple pleasure

as if it were the most wonderful thing on the face of the planet.

i am so very thankful for the joy she brings into my every day.

and this is henry.

she is very annoyed when i am on the opposite side of the fence...

mostly because she can't get in my lap from there.
the OC (original chickens...haha!) maggie, henry & ruby turned 9 weeks old on saturday.

the three easter eggers will be 14 weeks old on tuesday.

eggs may possibly be in our future as early as the end of july.

xox.

friends...

crushes?

3rd grade crushes?

i think the smiles say it all.

(the smiles and munki being the only person allowed to sign the front of dylan's shirt)

as munki walked away from her last day of school...

dylan said, "i am really gonna miss you over the summer...miss you the most."

munki (with red cheeks and eyes to the ground) said, "me too."

aaaw.

happy first day of june.

we spent munki's first day of no school at an early morning 4H meeting.

so much for sleeping in.

xox.

goodbye 3rd grade

today is munki's last day of 3rd grade.

what?

where did this little girl go?
