a new addition, or six, to our family

jonathan has started his new job, and he absolutely loves it.  part of his day usually includes stoppin by tractor supply with his coworkers.  during these trips to the tractor supply jonathan has decided we needed an addition, or six, to our family.  

so we dropped by tractor supply last night.  i was pretty excited.  i forgot my camera, otherwise i'd post pictures of this monumental day.

so what did we get?   





you guessed it.  baby chicks.  six of them :)  i have somewhat been opposed to chickens before, but my only opposition was that i did not want to have them in my backyard.  something about that screams redneck to me.  but that's just because we have such a small backyard right now that it just would be a bad scenario.  but in the future when we have a little house on a big piece of land, i'll welcome my baby chickens to live in my back yard.

so we set them up in a box, with their feed, and hot lamp, and water.  they are so sweet.  i really love them.  they sleep a lot, and they snuggle.  they all lay on top of each other.  and every time jonathan touches them i make him wash his hand.  ocd.

so that's our surprise.  and we're excited.  have a good day.  cock a doodle doo.
