So I am realizing I never did a post about Easter, so I have a few pictures on that. As I mentioned in our last post, we bought....chickens? Why you might ask? We decided we wanted our own organic eggs at the price of FREE! Well kinda free, we have to build the coop for them to live (I have pics of that process), and we had to buy the chickens, but all in all worth it I would say. We are also putting in a GARDEN!!! I am so excited!! Can you tell?? We have never had one before. We decided to do a box garden, and so far we have the box built, the soil, and the starts, now we just need to plant them. I can't wait to have yummy tomatoes out of that garden (assuming they grow, and I don't kill them;). Our Saturdays have been crazy from sun up to sun down lately working on these projects, but it is all worth it. And last but not least a quote of the week from Becca...
Becca: Rachel your breath is really stinky!
Rachel: Stinchy??
And now a few random pics of Easter, chicken coop, the girls, and I don't remember what else? I will post pics of the coop once it is finished...

you will do great with your tomatoes...I think the soil in that neighborhood just works, my mom's garden always over produces!! Garden tomatoes are absolutely delicious :)
The only thing possibly better than garden tomatoes - are eggs right from your own chickens! We had chickens growing up -- a few that were a little intense, I remember my older sister (she was about 8?) got cornered in the pen by our chicken that we had named Bozo...he actually was charging at her and trying to fly up and peck at her. For being the the stupidest chicken we had, he was actually quite the bully! I think he ended up being Sunday dinner not too much longer after that incident.
Sounds like a lot of fun - fairly soon you will be enjoying the fruits of all your labor!
Oh...and I just saw this blog tonight and thought of you and Nathan - if you like to do projects, this site might have a few things that you'd be interested in...and could actually do! (meaning that I can't do them as I have no resources - you have both talent & resources!!)

Those chickens are so cute! You'll have to post pictures of all your little projects - they're so fun to see!
That is so much fun! I would totally not dare to do a garden or have chickens! Cute little freakers though.. CUte pics of the girls. Nice of your parents to help you!
well no wonder your coop cost so much. its a luxury condo. I'm embarrassed to show you ours.
