Pie, Pi, more chicks, nice weather and St. Patrick's Day...


These chicks are fiesty and crazy. There is one that likes to try to fly out and we always find him on top of the feed bottle. 


Our morning wasn't going so great! But we ended up having a dance party in Oak's room. She is obsessed with listening to music all the time lately. 


It was Albert Einsteins birthday and Pi day so we had a fun school day. The kids made these and we read a book on Albert and we watched a video about what Pi was. It was a fun day.


Oak doing copy work of an Einstein quote.


Mac made this A.E. with melty beads. I am always impressed with his creations. 


We also made pie for Pi day. Cheese cake counts as pie because its in a pie plate. 


I made a german pancake or dutch baby. It was so yummy! And kid approved! 



I'm such a tricky mom. Either that or Mac really loves to play Minecraft. On Tuesdays Mac is allowed educational screen time. But if it's Minecraft he has to earn the time he gets to play. So I have been having him read about something and write down facts that he didn't already know. And for every fact he earns five minutes. So he gets reading, writing, spelling, punctuation and history in all at once. What I love is while he is reading he will run in and tell me something exciting he just read about. Now if only I can get him to write on lined paper.



We have been making a lot of smoothies lately. A friend gave me the hint of adding avocado to my smoothies because you can't taste it. I also started adding almonds since Mac isn't allergic to them anymore. Yum!


She always cracks me up when she dresses herself. 


St. Patrick's day we had rainbow pancakes. 


Wearing green and eating rainbow pancakes. 



A friend invited us to a st patricks day party. The kids had a blast. 



Someone made these super cute cupcakes. 


Progress on the coop. 


The weather was amazing and the kids got to play outside and get dirty a lot. 


Sporting our green. 


Warm enough to pull out my chacos!! Now it's cold again, boo.


Let's add a little water and make mud. 


More progress on the coop. Hubs worked the entire day on saturday on it. We had to finish it because we needed to put our big chicks in them since we were getting some newer chicks. We have 17 now. yikes!


Friends invited us to the park and the weather was so nice. The park is right next to the lake and before our friends got there we explored the lake side. 




While we were at the park, one of the kids friends fell of the rock climbing wall and broke his leg. A spiral fracture. Oak felt so bad about it and made him this note. 


Almost done. 


I thought it was so cute that Mac brought out his army guys. 


Our newest chicks. They are so tiny! 


Putting the big chicks in the coop. Hubs made a little warming hut since it's still so cold and really they are too little to be out of a brooder. But they are getting to big for the tub. 


The sister missionaries came for dinner. 

They are the sweetest girls and Oak fell in love with them. 



Some bed time snuggles.
