Mother's Day 2013

Mother's Day 2013

So we didn't celebrate Pascha this year. So for mother's day we made baklava and spanakopita triangles. I swear these are my favorite foods! We ended up going to two parks lol First we went to Sun Lake state park for our picnic then stopped by Soap Lake park so the kids could get some time on the swings. Even got a video of everyone on a swing...even dad♥

Coops Done...onto the run ☼

         Starting to get so excited about having chickens...now we just need to get them legal again haha. Working on that!!!!!! We got these coops at Dell's in Ephrata. they were pretty inexpensive. They open at the top and also have a cleaning tray at the bottom. We bought 2 coops hoping for 8 chickens this spring!!
