Trick or Treat!

Trick or Treat at Papa's Work

Katie (left) and Meg got the opportunity to do some early trick-or-treating today at Erin's workplace.

This year the girls asked Grandma S. to make chicken costumes. Katie wanted to be Fuzzworth and Meg wanted to be Henny Penny. Didn't she do a good job? Thank you, Grandma S!

They can hardly wait for Sunday evening!

Field Trip

We went on a field trip this week to a local wildlife park.

Meg and Katie did not hesitate to pet the green iguana,

or the 113 pound, 13 foot snake named Gracie.

Fantastic Fall

A hint of winter on the way!

Chicken Update

The chickens are doing well. Fuzzworth is still our only layer... Henny Penny and Fluff are certainly taking their time, but I've been assured by chicken "experts" that they will be good layers. Fuzzworth was laying 5-6 eggs a week, but she seems to be slowing down now that the weather is cooler and daylight hours are decreasing. The eggs are so delicious and make baked goods taste superb!

Katie and Meg love collecting eggs, letting the chickens out in the morning (shown below), and letting the chickens out of their run to free-range.

The Three Amigos

Toby and Aunt Robin came to visit us earlier this month. Meg and Katie had so much fun with Toby... I think they each rode the zipline 50 times!!
