Ah, spring! The weather is cold and snowy one day and gloriously sunny and warm the next, only to have it turn windy and cool again. This week we took advantage of all types of weather.
On Tuesday the kids talked Mr. Ferrero Rocher into giving them a ride on the grade-all.
It goes up much higher than our bucket truck – telescoping up about 40 feet in the air!
Notice mama (who is afraid of heights) was firmly planted on the ground. And because the weather was too cold for playing outside, riding horses in the house helped to get the wiggles out.
Thursday, the weather was perfect. . .
for mucking out the chicken coop.
Please don’t ask me where in the world they get their cleaning outfits from!
Again, I feel I must explain the outfits on the older girls. They had just gotten done exercising.
The weekend turned windy and cold again, which was okay as we spent the majority of the time watching General Conference.
And making cinnamon buns.

I love the picture of Hershey with the chickens! (!!!!)

What a fun farm. I too am a chicken and I personally believe it takes just as much courage to LET them climb up there for a ride, as it does to stay down on the ground. I don’t like it when dh takes my kids somewhere high, but I take photos and let them go…personally thinking that is brave! 🙂

We have cinnamon rolls for conference week-end, as well. I love the quirky traditions people have for conference. One sister feeds her family milkshakes for breakfast, one sister cleans closets and drawers while listening, we have finger foods and appetizers one day, and cinnamon rolls and pizza the next, another sister and her family start off by reading Mos. 2:13.
