Spring is finally here

I think Michigan is at long last having  Spring!

 

It's kinda nice to enjoy two springs this year. Richmond is already entering into the crazy hot that is their summer, so we had a whole beautiful season of spring there and now get one here :) 

He kids have been loving it outside. The moved one giant dirt pile over to a new spot, we have been having races in the pasture, and we walked our 85 acres of land.  

 

They have been playing gloriously in grandma and grandpas yard :) swing, slides, hammock, fort building , sling shooting and bird watching are among the favorites of grandma and grandpas back yard:) Owen is insists that he needs a sling shot for his birthday and little white peas to shoot out of it! I am fairly certain he means beads :) I can forsee many fun accidents with that, but what little boy doesn't want a slingshot ! It is almost a right of boyhood I am sure. 

they spent one afternoon being pirates in their hammock pirate ship:) it was so fun to see and hear them giggle with grandma as they were in their pretend world. They are 100% convinced that Michigan is only Grandma and Grandpas house and I think Henry still believes we live in Virgina :) 

Grandma and grandpa came down to our place one day after work this week and Shane and I had a nice little date. It felt differnt than our dates in Richmond. Small town on a early Tuesday evening is not the recipe for crowds of people or even just a full amount of people :) but it was a good time and the one on one time was needed! I am thankful that date nights can happen much more frequently than the once every few months it had been!! 

I started school back up for Owen. We had been doing some lessons since Posey was born, but the closer thr move came , and the more adventuring we did, school took a backseat.

I still have that luxurary being that he is not officially kindergarten age and I am fairly certain he knows must of what is covered in kindergarten. But it is nice to get school done first thing in the morning and back into the habit of it. He really does thrive better with it in his life :) 

We decided to paint the school table with chalk board paint. So that was our first project since living here at the farm. I have many other pieces of furniture to paint and hoping to get them done ASAP!! 

Our biggest and most exciting development is that we ordered baby chicks!! 6 little chicks should be here by the end of next week!  I am terrified and excited :) Owen excitedly stated that "we are farmers now!! Well I am anyways""!! :) he has everything planned for me and has been telling me what exactly needs to take place!! He is he chicken expert you know :) 

So expect to read lots about our chicken raising adventure ;) 

Happy weekend y'all;)
