The weather was cool and windy and I sent the kids outside. It has been so hot, they haven't been able to be out as much. They played rough games on the trampoline, and came in bruised and happy.
Gideon wore a metal mixing bowl over his head and walked around bumping into things growling. Later when he found a speckled hen feather, he picked it up and laughed triumphantly. He laughed like that again when he put a sock in a cup of water and no one stopped him.
When Kate asked Susan who the first man on the earth was, she said, "Lehi!" Sam said, "Jesus."
Joseph played rooster today and jumped on people's backs. I had four kids come to me and complain about how Joseph should not be allowed to play bad roosters.
We had two young hens lay eggs for the first time today. That's exciting. We have 20 hens and we're looking forward to a dozen eggs a day. The older hens aren't laying as much.
All in all, it was a fine day.

It does sound like a good day. I loved all the thoughts on and about the children. I think it is something to celebrate when you start getting eggs. My daughter is raising chickens now and trying to keep their dog from hurting them. She is excited for them to get big and finally lay eggs.
Sending happy thought and hugs your way!
