Happy Birthday Claire and Lucy!

Claire turned 3 at the end of April and Lucy had her 2nd birthday yesterday.  We've been able to have a bunch of birthday celebrations with our family in the last two weeks...

Party at Grammy and Grampy's House

Our park in Langhorne was having a Pet Fair on Lucy's birthday so we spent the morning there.  It was a perfect event for the birthday girls to enjoy.  They got to pet a ton of dogs, see an exotic animal show and have free pony rides.



Claire is holding "Buttercup", an 18-foot python.  After I took this picture she gave him a big, long hug and the snake started to "snuggle" back.  Yikes!  She said "I love you Buttercup" as she was petting it goodbye.

We have had a pretty eventful week with the chickens.  After not really doing much with them for the winter months, it was time to shovel out the coop.  We discovered a huge infestation of chicken lice.  I won't go into detail because it's too disgusting to think about.  But we had to tear down, disinfect and rebuild the coop.  Then we gave the chickens a spa treatment.  We have to repeat the whole thing next week to make sure everything is totally cleared up.  What a disaster.  Almost makes me regret getting them.  But then look at this egg!!  They're worth it.

Chicken Spa - A wash in warm water and Dawn dish detergent followed by a rinse in water and apple cider vinegar.  They are clean but now they all smell like stinky feet.
