Turkey Movers

We have had a fun week. It warmed up late last week so we spent some time outside. We went to the hayloft and had a blast jumping, rolling, and tunneling through the hay. It is so awesome to enjoy that with my kids like I did when I was little. We rode the golf cart around as well. God is so good to give us days to get outside and “blow the stink off” as Nana says.

We also helped Uncle David move little turkeys to the finisher building. This consists of 3 or 4 people using brooms to guide the turkeys from one building to the other, just across the drive. The 6 week old turkeys do not like to go outside in the cold, so they move pretty slowly. It takes a while to move the 6000 turkeys. I have always enjoyed this job, even when I was a kid. The two buildings from my childhood have been replaced, but the moving the turkeys is the same. Sam and Cora enjoy it too. Sam found some bailer twine and that became his turkey lasso. He and Cora chased after wayward turkeys for us. Our payment for helping David – Debbie Cakes!




Sam lost one of his enamel caps off his front teeth, and he was so excited because he just knew the tooth fairy would want it. He’s wanted to loose his teeth for a while because he wants money (sounds like Uncle Mark). Anyway, he got four quarters for his cap, and immediately gave one to Cora. We took some piggy bank money and went to the Dollar Tree and they both picked out a toy. Sam got a sword, which hasn’t broke yet, and Cora got bubbles for the bath.

Now this week it is supposed to snow quite a bit (I can’t wait!). Unfortunately we had to postpone our shower for Hannah’s Hope, Eli’s current home, until next Monday.


Two weeks from today is our court appointment!!!!
