oh boy...

adam told me on Thursday he really, really wanted to surprise the girls with chicks for easter. 
I didn't like the idea.
I said he was nuts.
he said that we wouldn't keep them.
they would go to a friends house to live once they had feathers.
you all know how I feel about birds.
Friday, I was shopping like a crazy lady for easter dinner etc.
he calls and wants to know where I am.
well, at the store.
he tells me he has FIVE CHICKS TO SHOW THE GIRLS.
oooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmgggggggggggggggggggggg.
again, I say, you know how I feel about birds.
he is in the process of building a COOP.
I could croak.  but I will admit, they are cute.
and I do LOVE eggs.
but ohmygosh!
i'm out of my comfort zone in every way.shape.and.FORM!

anniversary

our anniversary was almost TWO MONTHS AGO and I am just now getting around to this.
we went to Hermann, MO for the weekend.  We have done that before.
it's a wonderful little town. 
we had a wonderful little time.
the weather was great.
the town had an event that weekend so it was busier then normal, but we had a great time. 
we always do. 
love that guy.
12 years strong....











thought this was so cute.  the names rhyme! :)

 
the weekend of selfies started with this one. ;)

then this one.

and then this one.

sprucing the place up

we have had this GINORMOUS mailbox in front of our house for several years. (7 but who is counting)  it was big, and ugly, and I seriously hated it every time I saw it.
recently, it had a little run in with a vehicle and was on it's last leg.  sometimes the dear mail carrier would knock it off, and it would lay in the yard.  sometimes the wind blew and it would fly into the yard.  it really was just an irritating subject with me. 

my parents gave us a new mailbox 2 years ago for a birthday gift. (see here)  and it sat in the garage. 
a few weeks ago on the first warm day we had experienced, adam took the girls outside and they put the mailbox up. 

thank the LORD!
 it was fun to watch them work together and paint the stand. 
after reading this post-it is very clear that I may live the most boring life in the world. ;)
