Once again it seems that it has been too long since I posted here. I am hoping to do better with that from now on. So, let me catch you up on our life on the farm. Homeschooling is going great!!! Both of my girls are really loving it (or so they tell me!) most of the time. We still have days (usually testing days) when Ava says things like "I wish school didn't even exist." :( But those days are rare!!! Besides the actual school subject lessons, my girls are getting countless life lessons on a daily basis!!! I'm really proud of them. The picture below is from early fall. One of the girls favorite things to do is to play in the pasture with the goats!!! And I love to watch them!!! I never dreamed I'd love having goats for pets.....but guess what?? I DO!!! They are some of the sweetest & cutest animals.
Like I said, the girls are really doing well with their life lessons on the farm & are both eager to help out with most of the work around here!!! I'm so thankful for that!! One of Ava's chores is to collect the eggs. She is a little skiddish of the chickens but has been doing better. Here she had gone into the coup all by herself & gotten all the eggs...........she was so proud!!! Aubrey helps with the chickens & goats & doggies too. And of course, we can't leave Buddy out........we love having him around!!!
With the cold weather approaching, Jim had to build our chickens a better shelter. So early this fall he built a brand new coup in the corner of the hall of the barn. The hens seemed really pleased with this!!!
Ava & Aubrey helped with the coup building by keeping the goats occupied!!
One of my girls' favorite things this fall was when Daddy helped them build their own fort in the backyard!!! They built it out of hay bales & even put a cabinet door on it!! They took chairs & books in there & even played games in their a few times!!! Hopefully we're building some good memories of life on a farm with them!!!
