We finally have eggs! Yay!!! After waiting and waiting and more waiting, our ducks and chickens have finally started producing eggs, which is our whole reason for having them. It sure isn't because I like having poop all over my yard.
Look at these beauties! The large white ones are duck eggs, the brown ones are our standard chicken eggs, and the little white ones are bantam eggs. We usually get at least one duck egg, 2-3 brown eggs, and one bantam egg per day. Not too shabby.Ian was mowing the grass a couple of weeks ago and I heard Lauren start to cry (of course she has to be outside with dad) so I went to check on her. I opened the back door and this is what I found. Apparently she stumbled across an ant bed and went to dad for help. I was impressed. :o)
Scout stuff:
Our cub scout pack went to visit a local museum this past week. I had no idea this little gem was practically in our back yard (seriously, it's right across the cotton field from my house).
It was put together by one of our scouts' grandma and she has done a wonderful job with it. The museum is actually a combination of three old houses put together and is the home of quite a collection of antiques and memorabilia.
Here's our motley crew on the front steps of the museum before they were given the grand tour.
A few of the antique telephones on display.
I'm sure glad my iron is the plug-in kind. :o)
I think Grandma Gregson had one like this.
And old butter churn and some aprons. We were also shown some butter presses. I wish I had taken a picture of those. They were really neat.More scout stuff:
Here are my 3 little Tiger Cubs showing off the leaves they collected for our leaf rub project. These guys are 3 peas in a pod.
Here are the Tigers and Webelos donating teddy bears to the police dept. We did this service project last year and it was a hit.
The Tigers and Webelos meet the mayor. This was the same day as the bear donation. Right after this picture was taken, Zack said to the mayor, "Hey, you got any gum?". I don't think he was quite prepared for that one.That's about it for this catch-up session. I still need to post some football pictures, but that will have to wait till another day. Ciao!

I'm glad you are getting lots of eggs now. I remember getting grandma's bantam & quail eggs to make tiny fried ones. Thought that was the neatest thing. Funny how that is when you are little.
I knew the museum was there but I haven't thought about it in forever. There is some neat stuff in there. She did a good job. :0)
Stop procrastinating & keep us up to date. Some of our lives depend on it. :0P
Love the picture of Lauren and Ian! The museum looks cool. Did she collect the items from your area?
Thanks, Charity. I cracked up when I saw them and had to get a quick shot. As for the museum, a lot of the items came from family members, both her and her husband's side.
