Making Birdhouses

Last weekend while Dad was hunting we got birdhouse kits at a art/craft store with Mom. This week Dad built them and tonight we put the first coat of paint on them, we think they look pretty good. We will post more pictures as we decorate them......hope the birds like them.

Helping in the barn.....

Even with a broken arm everyone has to do their share of the chores....

Mom teaching Grace a few of the things they used to do in the barn as kids.

Mom said she didn't remember how dizzy these flips make you!

And the color of Lucy's cast is......

Waiting for the cast..... Getting the cast put on....

All done with her stickers...

It all went well. Lucy did great and only 3 weeks with this full arm cast and probably another week with a splint after that.

Some well needed outside time....

We spent a little time outside tonight and it was much needed fresh air. It seems like it has been a long time since we could be out without bundling up too much. Lucy is pretty wild still one arm and all. Also wanted to send an updated picture of the baby chicks (yeah they aren't such babies anymore!).

Our first trip to the Emergency Room

We were pretty excited about the first snow of the year until Lucy slipped on the ice on the deck and broke her wrist. It is in a splint right now and will be put in a cast later this week. She is already trying to decide what color cast she wants.

Our first Varsity Football Game

Grace had a great time cheering at the first half of the St. Croix Central Varsity Football game last night! Thanks to Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Tina for coming to watch.

Practicing for Cheerleading Wednesday night!

Here is a little video of Grace (and Lucy) practicing the cheers that she will do during the first half of the varsity football game on Wednesday night.
