Musical Rooms!

We're changing rooms around again!
Every time there is some family change, it always seems to be accompanied by a game of musical rooms.
#1 is in Ethiopia, #2 is embedded in another dark and dust filled continent.(...ok, it was our tv room & now his bedroom) #3 has moved out so #4 who used to room with #3 decided she wanted #6 to room with her.
So #7 moved out of his room and took over the room that #5 & #6 used to share and #5 took over #7's old room!

Movings beds, desks, a million stuffed to the brim totes, mounds of clothes and 5.78 tons of toys (what was Santa thinking?) took us the better part of two days, along with dusting, vaccuming and lots and lots of yelling!

Ah!
Spent the day before my birthday at Dash point relaxing all day and then watching a beautiful
sunset there. Reminds me of the summers I took the kids. It seemed so hectic when they were all small
but I kind of miss them.............a little!
I loved holding a sleeping sunkissed baby in my arms while they napped on the innertube with me.
The waves would lull them right asleep and I would usually end up getting sunburnt while I covered them up with my wet shirt I wore over my suit

I love Dash Point.

We finished out nesting boxes so now the coop is 100% done!
Yay hubby!


The next morning there was 1 egg on the floor and 1 egg actually in a nest!


This morning there were 3 eggs but all three were on the ground
- I need to put the golf balls back in the nest boxes!
I had them in but after seeing one egg in the nest I kinda figured that they knew what they were for now.
I guess not!

A huge Foxglove plant that hubby found by the mill, it's like a mother plant with all these little baby shoots at the bottom, never seen one grow that high either. He said it was around 12ft tall!
