A cold day...

Wow.
I woke up this morning and I cannot believe how cold it is! We actully had the woodstove on again last night , wow the seasons they are changing.
We went on a road trip yesterday, no where really to go and no real destination but fun none the less. We ended up visiting humane socities all over the place. It was good times to see lots of different animals. It was hard not to take them all home with us..lol
We were on our way home when we saw a sign for free kittens, we took three.lol.
We couldnt jsut take one (becuase there were two black ones and the matched lol) and that left one, well we couldnt leave the one on his own, so we took him too. Their adorable.
To daddys shock, we came home with three new cats. I told him it could have been worse being where we had been..lol
So now we have 27 chickens, 2 rabbits, one guinea pig , 2 dogs and 5 cats..lol
Love it.
Graham(DH) and Tyler went to a tree auction today. They have been gone all morning. Its pretty cool though becasue this local gardening shop is auctioning off all their trees (including fruit trees), last time I talked to them they had already bought 4 shrubs (lol). One was regularly 50.00$ and we got it for 8! woot! Tyler loves auctions and trying to figure out how high to bid. Good times. I am not sure when their going to be home, or how many trees we are going to end up with lol.
The girls and I have spent the day having some down time. Much needed down time. It has given me a chance to catch up with all my internet stuff and has given them time to jsut chill. We have been so busy as of late that it is really nice to take a load off. We have to go to the farm coop this afternoon adn get some more chicken feed, but thts not till later. PLus its so cold out , that we jsut really want to hunker down.
While I was cuddling with Oliver before bed last night, we started a game of touch the body part and clap. lol...it was so cute that it brings a smile to my face as I type this..lol
now when you ask him to find his nose, he touches it and claps. So very cute.
Ashleigh has really taken a liking to sewing last week. She made her very first pillow. she wants to mke a cloak, so I am looking for a pattern that will be easier to follow then the one I have. Yayy for fabric land having this closing sale. It sucks their closing , but boy do I ever love 65% off.
Well the babes up from his nap and I have a few things to do around this house. I will post later.
cheers
