We finished the chicken coop today! The boys helped paint and I had to keep telling my perfectionist self over and over that it was just a house for chickens and that a few run spots are not a big deal. It was so worth it I know to teach them how to work and help the family. They loved every minute of it. Abby was over playing so she got in on the fun too. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture before she left. The kids were so funny we kept hearing, "Oops! Sorry." They were painted almost as much as the chicken coop. Cole was not a fan of me helping with the coop. [Thanks Vickie/Wendy for the cute cute hat!] If he was awake he was siting in the stroller being grumpy and crying-- we're both glad that project is over. Darryl did a great job of building the coop-- and he did it in 2 days. There was a business trip in between those days but still that was quick! Darryl went to get another gallon of paint and came home with 2 more chicks. That is the second time he's done that! He's not allowed to go to the hardware store anymore! They are super cute, they have afros/mohawks, but we really don't need that many chickens.

I have been waiting for these coop pictures. I think I must see it in person. It looks super fun and exciting. I love the red- it looks great!
Come on over Rach! If you come soon you can see the new babies-- you have to come soon though because these things seem to turn into monsters over night!
Jenn, about how much was the coop to build?
It was about $400.--Are you building one?
The $400 includes EVERYTHING. Darryl wouldn't count the paintbrushes and such but I do because we had to trash them.
