Since this past spring we have been working on one side of our house. You know, the side of the house that no one sees that is full of weeds and anything else that gets tossed over there? Scott has been slowly, but surely building a new chicken coop. Although he still has the trim and some odds and ends to finish, it is functional and our ladies are enjoying their new home. We have even trained them to use a pet door, so we don't have to open and close the little chicken door morning and night.
Last week we decided that we would put some landscape fabric down, buy some rocks and finish the area. I had this grand idea to shovel rocks for FHE and then go out for ice cream after. That is all find and dandy except that it now gets dark at 5:30. We didn't even get out there until 6:30. But we didn't let a little darkness stop us. We put on our coats and hats, turned on the outdoor lights and shoveled away. We finished just in the nick of time. The cold weather is here to stay I'm afraid.

"Once, for family home evening, my parents made us haul rocks around the yard." That's what they will say some day. Ha ha! You are an awesome family. Would love to see the new coop.
The chickens at your house sure have it good! And next spring you'll be able to enjoy all the late-night hard work. Maybe your kids will even give a talk someday and tell how this was a turning point in their lives to do hard things. You and Scott are sure great parents
I love a hard working kid! They can even have a sour attitude, as long as their working. They eventually learn to enjoy it.
Look at all those "helpers"
