Spring Break - Coop Upgrade

The kids had spring break on Thursday-Monday. Dad also took off Thursday and Friday to help get some projects done around the yard. The kids think we work too much, but I think they still had plenty of fun play time! It was good to get as much of our projects done as we did.  There is still a lot left to do.  So, updates will probably come as things get completed.

Wednesday - Afternoon they spent playing with friends

Thursday - Working on the Chicken Coop 

Dad had to work in the morning and then we figured out sprinklers for Friday's projects.  After that we started on the chicken coop.  We weren't able to finish it but we made some great progress.  I will have to update once it is ready!

I gave #1 Girl the camera and she had way too much fun with it!

The kids loved that Dad climbed inside of the coop multiple times.

Dirty children!

Everything we have done so far on the coop is from supplies that we had on hand.  There are a few things we will still need to buy but it is coming great just changing what we had available.

Love this view #1 Girl captured

#4 Boy was delighted to be able to get in the coop like Dad

a bit of cutting had to be done

and some cleaning.  #5 Boy was excited to help Dad

Interesting view of #4 Boy coloring

The kids played for a long time out back but also spent some time coloring and playing indoors. They helped when they could but there is only so much they can do.
