We love crunch labs! This was the latest box.

We wondered about this! Overall, I’d say this worked!

This one is from KiwiCo… and it didn’t turn out as “rolled” as we would like, but we tried and it tasted good!

We found this project and it was a lot of fun! Kudos to Erik for all the prep work!

So here are a few of our chickens plus our rooster, who seems so massive compared to the others. Which is your favorite? Remember to wait to vote until you see Turkin! 😂

Erik always has a new project up his sleeves! Today, it’s a new rack for his man cave he is creative downstairs! I was pretty shocked when I recognized it was a piece of our flooring that we didn’t use! Way to repurpose!

I was surprised to come home from Gymnastics and see Erik made new shelves! Great to help organize!

The mallards were in the coop this morning! They always have a lot to say!

Erik recently got some goose while hunting, and the fat on it is abundant!

Merry Christmas! Lights are in full swing, and we are loving in! This one tuned in to a local Radio station. They did an awesome job!

It’s not freezing, but apparently it’s cold enough to keep most chickens inside before we opened the door to free range!

Here’s the kids’ unedited descriptions of this week’s @CrumblCookies flavors!

This week’s Crumbl cookies were peach pie, peanut butter cup, churro (the kids’ favorite), and our mystery cookie was Kentucky butter cake. We may post the review later!

We celebrate Thanksgiving early with one side of my family! We always love this meal!

Live from this morning… the chickens are heading out to eat!

Our friends have goats and we love visiting! Aren’t they cute?

It makes me laugh when she gets up on the table, even though she isn’t supposed to be there. It just looks like she is another member of our family… which she is!

While watching the World Series, I looked over and saw this.

Life with kids is always interesting and very often messy. I always hold my breath slightly when the paints come out, but it’s fun to let the kids get messy! I love that she said at one point. “I’m so close to being done. I just need to add sprinkles.”

Hilarious how many different sizes of sticks Kota can find!

(Box #5 of year 2) This monthly build box for kiddos is put together by @markrober and his team. Each build includes a 20-minute (or so) video from Mark explaining the concept they are working with in the build for that month. He shows it on a small and big scale before they build a project with it. This month was all about iridescence.

I did not know that our cleaner could go into kids forts!

The boys had a great youth hunt a few weeks ago and we finally got to process the meat… into jerky!

We have caught two potential predators of our ducks, so it is wonderful to be able to let them swim freely in our pond!
