Baby Chickens

We all went to the Tractor Supply Store on Sat and Tuck got to see the baby chickens.

He let Mommy hold one so he could pet it.  He was so gentle with it.  I was so proud of him. 

One day I hope to have some chickens in a portable grazing pen in the orchard so Tuck and Kora can have chores.  Hopefully next spring.

So Tired

Kora had a big day of visiting with friends and family and some shopping.  She didn’t even make it through dinner with us.  She got her thumb in her mouth and literally nodded off.

   

My poor sleepy girl.  She stayed like this for about 10 minutes while I cleared the table; then I took pity on her poor little neck and now she is sleeping on my shoulder while I type this.  I love my little snuggle bum.

Five Question Friday

Rules: Copy and paste the following questions to your blog post, answer them, then come on back and link up!  It's a fun, easy post and it's all about you.

Questions for Friday March 5th

1. What's your guilty pleasure?
My secret dark chocolate stash that I raid every day at 2 pm like clockwork even without an alarm.  It's an internal alarm I guess and I never skip a day.

2. What is your favorite TV series?
Big Bang Theory.  Those science nerds just crack me up.  I just love a good science joke, especially when you are not expecting it. 

3. Can you speak a foreign language?
Does sign language count?  We taught Tucker sign lanuage when he was about 6 months old and still continue with it.  Granted we have less than 20 words, i think, but it is still helps a lot.

4. How many pairs of shoes do you own?
Let's see: at least 2 pair of cowboy boots from my younger past life
1 pair of tennis shoes
3 nice sandals
2 casual sandals
2 Keen's
2 Crocs
2 work/hiking boots
2 rubber boots
1 suade ugg-like boot
2 slippers (do those count as shoes)
3 Clarks
6 dress shoes
That makes at least 20 but after 2 pregnancy's 90% of them don't fit; my feet grew at least one size. 

5. What is your favorite kind of M&;M's?
Dark Chocolate.  You can't mess with an M by adding nuts or PB.

Random Thought-Disney Rocks

I am at work and I currently have Disney Channel theme songs running through my head.  And I'm pretty sure I could do the choreographed dance that goes with it.  "I think what the situation needs is some Imagination..." and a do-see-do down the hall to the bathroom.

Phone Call

I had my first telephone conversation with Tucker last night.  I was on my way home from Lafayette and was checking in with TJ.  But when the line connected it was Tucker and it went a little something like this:

Tuck: Hi'ya Mama
Me: Why hello Tuck man.  How are you?
Tuck: OK.
Me: What have you been doing?
Tuck: FOOTBALL!!!!
Me:  Oh, you and daddy are playing football?
Tuck: Yup
Me: Are you having fun?
Tuck: Yup.  Daddy Cook.
Me:  You and Daddy are cooking dinner?
Tuck: Yup.  FOOTBALL!
Me: You have to get back to your football game?
Tuck: Yup.  Bye Bye.

It still makes me smile to think of his sweet little voice on the other end of the phone. 

GRRRRR!!!

Go Bears.

This is Kora's NFL outfit.  It was a gift from Uncle John and Aunt Tammy.  We had to get her into it before she outgrew it.  Doesn't she just look like she is growling her support?

And there are even matching socks.  Did I mention yet that I hate baby socks.  They never stay on and are so apt to be lost.

Kora Smiles

Kora is getting so big.  She is full of giggles and smiles these days and is just so much fun.   I regret that I only have 2 more weeks with her before I have to go back to work.  I think I will snuggle her even more while I can.

And here is one of those famous smiles
