What's been up

I know last time I said that the following post (this post) was about some visitors we had..Well, surprise, it's actually not. I'm still waiting to receive some of the pictures so it will have to be the post after this one.
A month and a half ago..or more... Yeah, actually I think it was in January sometime, we repainted our living room. Old news, right? xD

I think the pictures of "in the process" got deleted before being put on the computer...but that's okay, isn't it? Just pictures of rollers on walls and gals in old paint clothes.. ;)
Unfortunately this picture isn't very good.. The color used to be a light green, which has since been changed to Macadamia Nut. Usually it takes Mom a while to get used to a new color, but this one fit everything so well we all immediately liked it. That was nice for a change. ;)

She found some nice decorations for the foyer recently too.The painting has "Be still and know that I am God" with the passage at the bottom. 

So as for what else has been going on... 

We saddled a chicken. 

... What?

No, really.. We saddled a chicken....

Don't believe me, do ya... 

Fine...

Isn't it cute? Gabriel has had so much fun riding her around the property. =)

I'm kidding. It's actually the rooster who has been riding the poor hen...which is the reason for the saddle. He was spurring her so much she was losing a whole lot of her back feathers, so Laurisa picked her up some protection. ;)

She sure loves her chickens!

This one here was a run-away from someone on our road, I guess... The game hen just invited herself right into our coop and has gotten along with the others fine. She lays the tiniest eggs, too. The whole thing was about the size of an egg yolk, if not just a little smaller. =o

Gabriel: Innocent enough, about to get his haircut..

And Gabriel: Trying to appear innocent after causing some trouble.. ;)

I told Mom a few weeks ago that I thought I would like to do some of the sewing projects YF has been doing for the girl's Creations Classes. I wanted to do the first project they had done: a pillowcase. 

The finished product!

It was alot of fun to make, and I'm looking forward to sewing a few other things in the near future. 

Esther got a job about a month ago, so she's been busily working a full schedule for the past few weeks. She enjoys having something to occupy her time, and that she gets paid for it. ;) 

Dad and Mom have been fixing up at the rental house since the renter has moved out, and it looks like we'll be expecting some important company from Indiana soon.. :) 

I hope to have the next post up in the near future!
