Death in the family

Last Sunday at midnight, Delilah the rabbit passed away.

We only had her a day and we're not to sure what happened. But I will say it wasn't nice and my husband went beyond the call of duty and gave Delilah mouth to nose to try to save her. Alas, it was not successful and Miss Boodles (6yrs) was devastated.

R.I.P Delilah.

Pesky Wabbits

Home, home on the range. Where the ducks, chickens and rabbits play.

Today we got two Giant Flemish rabbits that are free ranging it with the birds.

Introducing Mrs. Wilby (will be). Apparently, when the other owner got this rabbit they told her it *will be* about this big. Which being a Giant rabbit is quite big. So that's how she got her name.

As you can see Mrs Wilby has a bent ear. Maybe another animal tried to Tyson her. lol
This is Mrs Wilby's daughter which Miss Boodles has named Delilah.

She is so playful and one of our cats has taken to chasing after her bobbing white tail.

Welcome to the mad house.

Our new additions :)

Gumdrop taking a bath (in dirty water)

Wills having a gander

Harry joined in looking at the bird in the bath but quickly lost interest.

Obviously Gumdrop isn't his type.

Finally Harry and Wills left Gumdrop in peace.

4 kids, 3 chickens, 3 ducks, 4 cats, 1 dog and a husband. No wonder I have no time for crafting.

Cluckingham Palace

I am so excited. We have livestock on our farmlet.

Yes! I am classing hens as livestock. My wonderful friend Dee of sew-funky gave us her beloved, egg laying chickens when she moved house.

We built the girls a predator proof coop and named it 'Cluckingham Palace'.

Then we thought the hens needed royal names so they are Fergie, Eugenie and Beatrice.Ahhhh. The good life.

Dads visit

My dad came over from Oz for a week. There was a family get together to celebrate what would have been my granddad's 100th birthday, had he still been alive.

It was rather exciting as we hadn't seen Dad (Morfar to the grand kids) in 9 years.

He finally got to meet Boodles.

And our two new additions.

Until we see you again. xxx

Mother to a teen

I am now officially the mum to a 13 year old today.

I have been a step mum to teens and so was able to delude myself that I was still young and hip until now.

We have a few birthday traditions.

1. Open presents with the family on Mum and Dads bed.

2. Mum (me) makes the birthday child's choice of breakfast for the family.

This morning it was French Toast.

3. When the kids turn 13 they get to go on a Daddy date to a restaurant of their choice.

Ashlee chose to have dinner at Rainbows End. Rainbows End is a theme park. Clever girl for thinking outside the square.

Button says it was the best birthday ever.

Hugs, kisses and lots of love, mum. xxx

Happy birthday, Button.
