Waiting...

Lu is still keeping those babies inside. She's having lots of fun teasing us about it, too. 

The sun came out today so the kids got to go out and play. Yoda had to stay in the buck pen while his head heals. No banging heads allowed yet.

That "bird" is Ninja Chicken. She's the craziest chicken we have and doesn't stay on the correct side of the fence. She doesn't believe she is a chicken. I don't either, I think she's an alien.

OMG, I'M IN LABOR!!!! Just kidding, bwahahahahahaha! Get it?

Okay, so you can tell from this blog post that I'm exhausted and have lost my mind.

There Was Morning and There Was Evening...

Morning!

This is how the morning started after feeding. Yes, I do know there's a fire in that stove AND I'm standing on it. The fire had gone out and only after I hopped on to tape up the chimney it poofed back to life... hmmm?

Comfort

Lucy is super uncomfortable these days, due to kidding soon, especially when she's laying down cudding. She makes a funny noise that Banjo is attracted to. This is Banjo with his head on Lucy's shoulder being lulled by her murmur's.

Evening

 Paint on two walls. Its progress.

Moaning Monday

Marrr marr marrr...

Lucy started making a funny noise today. I think she's talking to her babies. It kind of sounds like a moan/groan/purr. Whatever it was, Banjo liked it.

Lucy is nearing her due date of March 9th. This is pretty much how she walks around... if she walks around.

The kids enjoying some sunshine today. The sun makes a great heater.

Yoda pulled his bandage off yesterday so he's pretty stoked about being free of it. He does miss the other kids though and wants to be with them.

For now, they visit through the fence to keep the head butting at bay.

Almost done with the house.

Happy Birthday Yoda!

Today is Yoda's 2 year birthday. We thought we should celebrate... (no, we didn't feed him a chocolate cup cake) so "we" ate his cup cakes! Haha

I just want the paper, thanks!

Lucy Lu Lu

Poor Lucy is getting close and bigger. She's bleating for me and then being stand offish. Her big belly rolls with babies and then she looks at me like, "Help!"

Time...

2 weeks folks!

All work, no play makes back sore

(go straight to adorable goat pics, scroll down)

It was one of those non-stop days. 
7am start
1) Do morning chores, including cleaning the goat pen.
2) Sand and paint 2nd layer of varnish on the door.
3) Put the alley gate back up so the goaties can get some sun in the morning and not run around the front yard.
4) collect all 40 blocks from behind the storage container and place on footer poured last night.
5) place and pour concrete on the blocks... run out of concrete... more foundation delays.
6) Take fun pictures of goats.
7) Set up the laundry line between chicken house and wood shed, because the sun is shining. 
8) Get two loads of laundry done in antiquated machine hooked up to the hose in the barn... ya!
9) Hang laundry, do dishes and vacuum hay and sheet rock dust off the floor. 
10) Feed dog and cat
11) Settle down with some tea
7pm finish

Foundation almost done

The kids approve

Lucy only ventures this far anymore, doesn't want to get too far from the barn

Getting big

The following is a series of cute photos of Huckleberry and Banjo:

Huckleberry

Bros in the sun

Banjo says "Move over!" Huck say "Go away!"

Banjo laughs, "Hahaha, I win!"

A little bit of everything

Cleaned my alley up so I could get the little tractor through to get barn back fill. So happy to have a open alley. Now, to retrain the dog to poo in the woods. Can't wait till the grass starts growing and repair our construction damage.

Prepping for tomorrow, hoping to get the concrete in.

Stop to watch the critters. Lucy and Mamma are on their way to being BFF's.

Mamma likes to give Lucy baths.

Bandit is taking his turn giving Lucy a bath. Don't ask me why Lucy likes to get cow bath's but she does.

Goofy chicken visiting Yoda. 

Kiki says, "Snore"!

Mesa too... hmmm? NAP!!! Then back to drywall.
