The box is always funner no matter how old you get :) Who wouldn’t want a chicken on their head? My girl is silly!
What’s going on with me? Battle of the Fleas!
Whew!! I had some bloggy plans today but things didn’t work out that way. Instead I spent my day cleaning. I vacuumed EVERYTHING – twice – nooks , crannies and all. Mopped, dusted some, threw about 75 magazines out into the recycle bin, really when am I ever going to look at them again? They […]
Wordless {wordy} Wednesday – School Days
The kids have been back to school for over a week now and I haven’t even posted pictures! That’s how behind I am! BLAH! So here they are looking pretty spiffy! I always do the corny sign thing so I know what year it was. I need to go back and put them all together […]

Blog changes lead to soul searching… Really?
If you’ve visited A Hen’s Nest in the past few days you might have noticed that it looks a little different. We are officially transferred over to self hosted WordPress!

Our Springfree Trampoline arrived last week! Our friends were visiting so they helped put it together. (sorry for my incessant instruction nitpicking guys!) It took a couple of very hot sweaty hours (it was almost 90 out that day!) but the guys got it done without any problems! A herd of children were waiting to […]

We had a really fun family weekend, it went by so fast but I think we managed to make some good memories! On Saturday it was the annual family reunion at the. After a little mix up with the time (we were two hours late! eek!) the rest of the day was spent visiting, chatting, […]
Wordless Wednesday – Grandma with Attitude
EEeeek! Mom’s got a gun! lol :) My mom playing around with the airsoft gun my son got for his birthday this weekend.
My son is another year older – Where’s the pause button?
Time seems to fly by quicker than I can catch up. I blink and a moment is gone, a day, a week, another year. My first, my boy…. my little chubby cheeked rebel has somehow turned into a gangly 15 year old teenager. How did that happen? I look at him and see his childish […]
