Grandpa said WHAT???

"Mom, grandpa said we are going to get chickens in our backyard and then we can play with them every day!!!" Yep, straight out of the mouth of Ava. He has also told her that someday he will buy her a dog and a hamster. He knows mommy will put them on the curb, but he gets their little hopes up anyways.
The kids had a sleepover at grandpa Rick and grandma Natalie's the other night (they live right next to the fairgrounds and keep their chickens in the chicken barn) and spent all of their time in the chicken barn playing with their new friends. When I came to pick them up, they were grinning from ear to ear and talked about it like it was Disneyland or something. I'm glad that something as simple as chickens can make these two so happy!

Sounds like the kids had a blast at grandma & grandpa's house... especially their time with those chickens. :)

Well. . . maybe you should give in. At least chickens give you something back! ! !
