New edition updates

Its been such nice hot sunny weather in Hamilton this week, its wonderful. Jakes been cooling off in the afternoons after care by jumping on the tramp in the sprinkler, keeps him entertained for ages. He cant use the tramp without the sprinkler at the moment, it gets way too hot and burns ya feet!

We have EGGS!!! Only one girl tho, Ive been giving the other three a lecture every morning about earning their keep, Im wondering if they are nesting somewhere instead of the nesting box? Jakes loving collecting the egg every day he calls it "special egg from chooks bum" Shes laying bigger each day, at the moment they are pretty small, the first one was tiny! (and fair enough too... Im sure if my first child was small and not 9lb 7oz I would of managed it better too! lol)


And Jake got some new babies today, hes such an animal lover and is so caring with the hens and cat I decided to let him get a couple of zebra finches. He spotted them at the pet store a few weeks ago and loved them! Thankfully he has cheap taste, they were $9 each, the other birds for sale were $30 upwards. I think he likes how flighty and action packed they are compared to the bigger less moving birds. He chose the only white one, was set on having it (poor pet store girl had a mission catching it!) and said he wanted a random grey one (bet the pet store girl was glad about that hehe). They are wonderful birds, sing lovely tuned songs, it is very cute and relaxing to listen to them. :)

The white one got out of the shoe box when I went to transfer them! Dammit, I knew that would happen, thankfully Id closed off the hallway and kitchen. I had to wait for her to land on the ground and chuck a towel over, got there in the end!
