Another fairly busy day ... again!!! LOL

Ahhhhhh ... yet another busy day down.  I woke up a little late this morning. It was around 9 am.   But I jumped out of bed and got busy right away.  Cleaned up the living room again (only swept it), the dining room and the kitchen. Then I french braided Addison's hair for school. I found out around 10:30 we were having family come for leftovers from last night for lunch (I totally love entertaining!!  It was Scott and I, Mom, Grandpa, Denny and Bob!) so I swept 2 of the couches from dog hair.  Then had to make some more spaghetti and sauce to make sure we had enough for everyone. Then cleaned up the dishes (they still have to be done) and put away the leftovers. After that was done (Addison had already been picked up by her mom around noon!) and everyone had left, I packed up the chickie girls (my 10 chickens!!), mom's mantis, and all my other garden items and headed out to the garden.  Got the chickie girls unpacked (put up an x-pen and set their carrier inside the x-pen and opened the door.) and got to work in the garden. I almost had 3 4x4 squares done when Scott came home (from helping prune some of Grandpa's trees) and said we are suppose to meet mom and Grandpa at the "Clown house" (aka McDonald's!!) for pancakes (the Mickie D's here has all you can eat pancakes for about $2 a person. Full house with the older folks!! LOL). So I packed the girls into the carrier and off to Mickie D's we went. It was fun watching everyone come in and everyone knew one another.  Scott's brother, Todd, and his kids, Laynee and Wyatt, joined us then the three ring circus began!! LOL  After all that fun, I came home and worked further on the garden.  Let the chickie girls out.  I am happy to say that the chicks know who I am!! One of the Rhode Island Reds (I call her Lucy ... she is our largest Red!!) got out of the x-pen and I didn't notice.  I was working some dirt and looked down near my foot and there stood Lucy!! LOL So got her back into the x-pen and finished up my garden that I could get done (got 10 4x4 squares done ... still have to rake the weeds/roots out then plant) before it got dark.  Then packed the chickies up and the garden stuff I took down there and tractor-ed them back up to the house.  Viola!  My day in a nutshell!!  I shall sleep well!! LOL  It is suppose to rain tomorrow so I don't expect to work much in the garden tomorrow but Thursday is suppose to be nice again so maybe I will get more done then!  Slowly coming along!! :)  Nighty nite!!
