So....how was the birthday night?? Did the young man, er, your husband do anything special for you?

 

[aggieterpkatie]

LOL...the young man. We had parent/teacher conferences last night for DSS and DSD. They are both doing great in school!! So good to hear!

So we're doing birthday stuff this weekend. My bro and his new gf are coming tomorrow! I'm going to buy some new pullets too, and the exciting thing is I raised $41 selling some knitted coffee sweaters. Between that and my egg money I have enough to pay for them without spending "our" money.

I had a total of 11 chicks hatch, but one died. It just wasn't right from the beginning. I'm hoping to sell them soon.

And my sister gave me a cheese making book and a soap making book for my burfday, so I'm going to read up this weekend!

Oh, and the federal government shutdown is affecting me, even though I'm not a fed. Our office is leased by the feds, which means we can't come in our office starting Monday. They're not even sure yet if we get administrative leave (paid time off) or if we have to use our own earned leave.

Coffee sweaters? OK, I'm picturing a cup of coffee wearing a sweater and earmuffs.

Ewwwww....sorry to hear about that katie! I hope things go on the up for you!

The eggs in my bator are doing well. I've been slacking and still haven't candled them - prolly should since they're on day 9 today.

I sure can't wait to have some chicks....

These things!

OK, it WAS wearing a sweater, just didn't have the earmuffs. (Maybe you could add them?)

 

[aggieterpkatie]

I spent the whole weekend thinking of how I can make earmuffs for coffee cups! I have a plan but don't know how to make it work.

My turkey eggs are due to hatch on Wednesday. I'm super nervous and excited! I candled them for the first time Sat night, and it looks like 5 of the 18 are definitely duds, but the rest have potential!

Yay for you!! I guess we're getting turkeys too - but they're already going to be hatched for us. Apparantly one of Big G's friends are ordering some and you have to order the minimum which is I think 12 - and he only wants 3 or 4 so Big G said we'll take a few and another friend is also diving in. Who the heck knows....

I'll have some chickies in a little over a week that's all I know!

That's great that you're able to split an order of turkeys! What kind are you going to get?

Good luck with your eggs!

No idea at all.....all I know is at some point we'll have some turkeys!
