Yes we eat what we grow even if someone else leaves it in our coop!!

Do not look if skin and flesh bug you. The boys had a vengeance out to get some roosters that were pecking the hens to pieces. Someone dropped them in our hen house without telling us and so when one of the boys hens died they knew what they had to do. Get them and eat them. This is the boys plucking off the feathers after dipping in boiling water. They brought them in and floured and baked them and ate them so fast I did not get a pic of them with their eats.

Mc and C boy did the most of the dirty work while Dad taught them how to skin clean and defeather. The pretty girl J took the photos again and stayed out of the helping process somehow. Z boy looks over his Dads shoulders at one point seeing how the whole process works.

My Little Wrestlers

Mc in his stance take down and then his super good score that was so close. He was a great wrestler today Even if the kids won the next kid dropping Mc to third place.

Zane is just pleased as punch it get a medal even if it was for 4th place.

Mc's team did it again two years in a row for him and he is one thrilled kids to say the least.

Whats the eats and the play today.

When there are 6 yes six boys in the house there is always something that is going on that maybe shouldn't go on. So the subject today the Boys and what they are doing.

The eats, ANTS BUTTS yes that's what I said.

C boy (who is about 14) came home from scout camp having been taught by his cousin no less, how to eat and survive in the wild by eating red and black Ant butts. They supposedly taste like lemon pepper and have tons of protein and make you have lots of energy. So all my little boys age 6, 9 and 12 try it, they actually kept at it for a long time and you wouldn't believe it but they didn't need any dinner and they wouldn't go to sleep either. I laid the rule that from now on it had to be breakfast if they were going to keep that up.

Playing

This is what our old VCR looks like now that they all sat around and took it apart claiming certain areas that struck their fancy. I left it over night sitting there as they whined that they had to go to bed. Thank goodness for school because it disappeared and they haven't said one thing about needing its parts to haul up and spread around their bedrooms.

Here is what two of the little boys did one day while playing even though I had threatened them if they got muddy they would have to go to bed. They reasoned saying we needed a bath anyway. It took me an hour to get them to hold still to be sprayed down with the outside hose.

BOYS they are such a huge adventure.
