The Coop finishing has started this weekend. I got these pics because they were just too cute. Sometime it sucks to be the shortest one in the family.





If y'all think that this is violating child labor laws..it is. But if you want to keep the chicken you got to paint the coop

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Okay it's a great picture, I'm not sure whether my 5 year old would paint or not, but I know I wouldn't want to clean her afterwards. So I've got to give you credit and she's got a much bigger smile on her than you probably had on you while finishing off the other project. Either way, I know two things:

1) Ava's a cutie

2) You should be happy that's the only problem caused by the cat, the last time that cat pee caused problem's things were pretty peachy.
(sorry, I just couldn't let it go).

Smile, I'll buy your first beer on Monday and it will all be a memory.

Now that's what I would call a real GLOAT

I want to see Ava and the chicks soon!

Too cute Dave, just too cute.

All this time we thought you had elves doing your work, but it was AVA!

What a cutie pie

When she gets finished with the coop, send her over. I have a little painting she could do at my house.

When do the chickens show up??

Take care,

She is definitely a doll, my little blonde is 26 now and I do miss the days of having a "little helper". I do believe child labor laws have some exemptions for "farm work" and I am fairly certain chicken coop construction is "farm work"

That's not labor, that's entertainment! What kid doesn't like making a mess with paint? And as long as more paint ended up on the coop than the shirt/ hair/ hands, everyone's a winner!

Great pics.

Great pics.
A long bath was definitely on the agenda for the evening. Good thing it was Latex paint
