Well, our Rhode Island Red, the oldest one of the bunch, has finally started laying again. The Buff Orpington pullet has also begun to lay as well. We are getting about 2-3 eggs a day, but it seems like everytime we see our eggs, we almost don't want to eat them! They are so wonderful looking and it took all our hard work to get these chickens to actually start laying. Our youngest Rhode Island Reds should start laying by the end of September as well as all the other pullets we have, than we will have about 2 dozen a week! I could care less about the chicken eggs, I want those ducks to start laying! Now those are the eggs to use for baking!!
Easton has started school this past week. He really does enjoy it! I'm very glad, as it gives me a break from him and he gets to meet new people in his class. He's already telling us he's making friends, which is fantastic! I think this next Thursday when he actually starts riding the bus and is gone for 5 days a week, it might hit me than.
Sammuel is his usual self. Taking his diaper off, peeing on the floor. Last week, he took his diaper off in the yard, and said, "I pee on tree, I pee on dog house, I pee on house, I pee on..... BUBBA!!!" and chased Easton around the yard with his little wee wee and trying to pee on him! It was quite the show! Sam is such a big help with the chickens (although he does more chasing around than work). His favorites are the ducks! He loves to watch them waddle around the yard when they chase him. Every time he takes his diaper off and chases the ducks, Joshua and I tell him that if he isn't careful, the ducks will snatch his little wee wee off! Than he will run away from them! He is quite a hoot!
Joshua is doing some construction with a contracting group on base right now. They are pretty much remodeling an indoor range. He is really enjoying the construction part, minus installing insulation. He will send me pictures every other day of him or someone else installing something. Its very nice to watch his face light up when he talks about something other than the Army. The other night, he got out all of his catcher equipment when Easton was sitting in the room. Of course, Easton had a billion and one questions about everything. Each time Joshua put a piece of equipment on himself or on Easton, his face lit up! I've never seen him happier than he was that night talking to our oldest son about baseball. Easton was totally into it. I just hope he picks up the sport. Easton told Joshua that he wants to be a catcher, so I guess Daddy and Grandpa will have a lot of training to do with Easton. But let's start with a soft ball, just in case he gets scared of actually lets the ball hit him in the face.
Me on the other hand, I'm really loving my job. I was taking care of a resident the other night while I was on "float" and she told me she was tired of being in the nursing home and wanted to go home. But if she was home and she had enough money, she would hire me as her personal nurse. Its nice to know that someone thinks that I'm doing my job properly. I really love being a nurse. It does come naturally since pretty much ALL the women in my family on my father's side and most of them on my mother's side were nurses. I think I might take the LPN course next year once Easton is steadily in school and I can do part time LPN. It might take me 18 months to complete, but it's another step up, and maybe get sent to RN school. I don't know tho. I really do enjoy being a CNA. I'll see....
Toodles,
