You might be a redneck if your phone calls go like this;
Hey baby, you know where my pitchfork is?
Yep, true story.

So Ellie has been out for the better part of the afternoon. I got some cell phone footage of her! Hopefully it works! My phone and computer are both google, so they shouldn't hate each other!
She really seems to like it out here. She will poop outside right? She isn't great with the litter box anymore, so she'll poop outside? I know that seems silly, but some buns are weird about boxes. She's eating a ton of grass and I brought some hay out for her and her water. I hope shes pooping, I'll have to look in the grass. She does seem pretty happy though! I put her outside because she was being really bad in the kitchen. She was getting into stuff and just being bad, I didn't want to put her back in her cage, so I said OUTSIDE YOU GO! She's digging and having a blast!
And I went from just cleaning out chicken waterers and feeders, to turning my compost pile and raking out the whole coop. Once I started I just couldn't stop.

Chris she does race around like Houdini, she's back and forth and around, she was really funny out there!
She did poop outside, she pooped a lot! haha. Nice round perfect poops. She ate a ton of grass and had a good time. She wasn't even bothered by being out there. She just had wide eyes, but other than that she did well.
I'm going to start putting her out in the later afternoons. Where the pen is is right next to my back steps, the sun goes into the front yard at like 3, so her pen is out of the sun by then. So its nice in the shade, plus I can keep an eye on her from the back door and I usually go outside and do stuff at about that time anyway, since my son is usually napping. I put a box out there for her and she goes in it and hides if she needs to.
Thats also how I get her outside, in the box! haha. She'll go in and I'll close it real quick and put the box outside and she's happy! Thats how I bring her in too.
She chewed a hole in the bottom of the pine pellet litter bag and when I went to move it yesterday, they spilled everywhere. I was livid, so thats when I said YOU MUST GO OUTSIDE! But it turned out good in her favor because she likes it out there and good in my favor because she isn't destroying my house. haha.
What I would really like to do for her outside is make a fence tunnel, like in the RWAF video about cages aren't for rabbits or whatever its called. They have the tunnels that lead to the bigger cage blocks. I would want like 2 cage blocks, then a tunnel between the two and then maybe a tunnel to go off the other tunnel to make like a T shape or something. I think that would be fun for her! But that seems like a lot of work and I'm so lazy like most of the time. Plus fencing is expensive and I don't know if I had the right kind here. She's pretty wily so I would need something with a smaller grade hole because she would probably try to weasel her way out! haha.
So AJ has been doing this new thing. He's been lining everything up in a line. Like all his cars go in a line like they're in a car park. All his crackers go in a line. Last week he was eating bananas and took them off the plate and put them on the rug in a line. I had to throw those out because no one wants to eat rug nanas but it was still funny. I don't know why he's doing it, I guess just to do it. But he can also count to 10, which is pretty cool. He hasn't gotten the fingers yet, like counting on his fingers, but he's trying. Oh and his new favorite word is NO. UGHHH! They only call it the "terrible twos" because "f-ing awful" doesn't start with a T.
Happy Friday!

The mmmm terrible twos...I did laugh.
The RWAF give great ideas and it´s the hutch is not enough. Some of the stuff they have on that video is fantastic, makes me wish I had a big garden with loads of space for my three to run and binky and go mad haha.
I know what you mean about the bags. I always put mine high up and not on the floor, that´s happened to me when Houdini chewed a hole in it and then they look at you like....what´s the matter, I was just having a good time lol.
That is so funny AJ putting everything in a line...yes, the hairy nanas would probably not have been so good. Maybe he´s using his food to remember his counting by lining them up.
Keep reading on facebook about Rabbit Awareness Week in the Uk which starts on 4th May. When I see these things, I really wish I was over there with my boys as there is so much stuff going on, information, free health checks and events. If I see anything really interesting, I´ll let you all know.

See the thing with AJ is, he's perfect in public. When we go to a restaurant or wherever, he sits there and eats and looks around. He's perfect in stores in the carts, he doesn't get to run around and even if he does walk, he holds my hand like a big boy and walks with me. He doesn't touch anything, unless we put him down in the toy aisle and let him pick out his own toy.
BUT when we get home, he goes nuts and gets violent and bad. When its just me and him, he doesn't listen, he whines, he cries and does crazy things. When I'm on the phone, he yells at me and acts ridiculous. Thankfully I step outside when its something important. But when we have anyone over, he's perfect and great, as soon as they leave, he goes nuts again.
He's such a little actor! Like my dad and my MIL always say how great he is and he's never fussy or whatever, but as soon as he gets home he goes wild! But apparently that says we're doing something right. They say that when your kids act really great for the baby sitter and act terrible for you, then you're raising them to respect other people and be polite to others. Yet when they get home, all hell breaks loose! haha.

I don't have my own kids(so take this for what it's worth), but I have babysat A LOT for my siblings over the years. More recently I was staying with my brothers family for a few months, and one of my nieces especially, had a really bad habit of whining whenever she said anything. I can't stand whining either. It grates on my nerves. So whenever she was talking to me or asking me for something, and using her whining voice, I told her that if she wanted me to listen to what she had to say, she needed to use her normal voice and not her whiny voice. She would do it most the time, so it worked, but then I'm not the parent having to deal with it either. For those times when she wouldn't listen, I sometimes had to use giving jobs for her to do if it didn't stop, but she's older than AJ.

It's normal for kids to act up more when at home where they are comfortable and with their parents whom they are comfortable with. Most kids do and that's not to say he should just get away with it but just to know for your own piece of mind. Plus you are with him all day so he's most comfortable and used to you.
Plus he's at the age that they need their mommy but are looking to be a little independent. As long as you set rules and limits and stick with it, it will get better. Plus you have a boy. Boys can be just plain wild. Now I know some girls are as well but they didn't come up with the saying "he's all boy! " for no reason.

I also would not really want a girl. I'm happy with a boy, I was made for having a boy! haha. When I was a nanny I had 2 girls and they were the most dramatic little girls! haha. They were so sweet, but they were wild and bad and mouthy. They wanted to be pretty and girly, but they hated brushing their hair. So I would have to fight them to brush their hair and put it up to look good, so half the time I would get half their hair brushed then they would run away before I got to the other half! haha. They were so crazy and they would fight and hit and yell at each other, omg. Every night when I got home I would lay in the living room floor with my dogs and I would decompress. It was so stressful to be with them all day everyday, especially in the beginning.
Well I guess it didn't help that one of the little girls had an emotional disorder or something, she made me cry on a daily basis because I just wanted to help her but I couldn't or didn't know how to or whatever. So that was really stressful too.
Anyway, I always ever wanted boys. I am not sensitive enough for girls! haha.

If the girls were wild, bad and mouthy than that's bad parenting. I think there is a difference between the two sexes but in either case it does not have to be that bad. If a parent does not deal with the issue or gives in then it will get worse.

I think for them is was lack of parenting or cave-in parenting. Meaning...I was their NANNY! haha. I was there for the whole day, I took them places and did stuff with them. Their dad would either work or "work" which means go play tennis or hang out by the pool. They were members and there were several times we would catch him at the club he would be like "oh, I was just playing some tennis, but I'm going to go to work now" then we would stay at the pool for a few hours, get to the house and he would be there doing whatever, then he would leave and their mom would get home at like 5:30. I call it "cave-in" parenting, because as soon as one of them would fuss about something, the parents would just do whatever it was that they wanted.
It was crazy! I took them skating and to the museums and stuff. After they got used to me and my no nonsense approach, they started to act like normal humans and would ASK me for things instead of demanding and would TALK to me instead of whine. After they realized I wasn't going to cave in and take their crap and I would put them in timeout so fast their little heads would spin, we started to get along and things went smoothly.
But the little one did have something going on and she wasn't always a joy, she was difficult and moody and very complex for a 6 year old. She was old before her time and I never cried more over a child. She would come sit in my lap and play with my hair and I would just hold her because I think thats what she needed. I think she just needed to be loved more. It actually makes me cry just thinking about it.
The older one was so smart, like crazy smart. She would sit with me and we would talk about all kinds of stuff. She was such a little adult and she just "got it", ya know? Its hard to explain.
The thing with those parents is, they were together for like 17 years before they decided to have kids. Then they had the first, she was apparently a really good baby and a really good toddler. Then they decided to have the second one to give the first a friend and she wasn't like that. She was a difficult baby and it didn't get better as she got older. They weren't meant to have kids. They have the money and the means for kids, but they don't have the parenting abilities for kids. Its a sad truth that I think a lot of kids face.

On another note, my compost pile is basically a giant any hill. haha. I've been neglecting it, so the ants have taken over. I have yet to figure out what to do with it, I guess pour some boiling water on it or some soapy water on it or some borax or some DE. So many things, I just have to figure the best way to do it.
Its a lot of ants though, like thousands. A lot.
Did I mention that I hate ants? I hate them. I don't like they way the look when they're all together in a pile and running around. I don't like how they walk in lines. I don't like that they bite and they're swarmy creatures. I don't like that they eat everything. Ew. I just hate them.

Morgan, your blog always makes me crack up. It sounds like Ellie is being ridiculous! I know you've been considering getting her spayed, how's the decision coming? I wonder how long it took her to chew through that washer hose. Sometimes it seems like it takes my buns no time to get straight through something.. I'll see them wander over to something they shouldn't be chewing, go to yell at them, and then it's already ruined!! Gah.
I laughed when you listed all your animals in response to me and then said something like, so it's not really a ton of animals! The most I've ever had is two rabbits, so it's a lot to me! I guess you definitely have the space though, and most are outside. I really like cats, I wish I wasn't allergic because I'd probably get one if I had a house.
How did the cleanse go? How is your exercise routine? When Luke and I went back to being long distance, I guess that was a year and a half ago, I started consistently working out and watching what I ate. I sort of worked out in college, had a few friends to be gym buddies with, but college eating/drinking/partying more than canceled out those efforts, hahaha. Then the year Luke and I lived together, I didn't work out at all! He was taking a year off, so every time I'd come back from school we'd just hang out and have a beer or something. Anyway, when he moved to San Diego, I was like, I'm gonna look better every time I see you! Since then, I've lost about 15 pounds and a pants size! I was never overweight, just.. soft around the edges? I feel better when I work out, too.
I feel anxious with you guys all talking about parenting! I'm turning 26 in November, and that sounds much older than 25! I used to tell my friends sort of jokingly that I wanted to be married by 27 and have a kid before 30 so I could be a hot mom, hahaha. I don't even have a decent job yet! Gahh. The flute player in one of my woodwind quintets is engaged, and I think she's only 22! It makes me feel so old. The other day I was talking to her and she was talking about one of her friends and said "she's my age." Not "our age." I FELT SO OLD.

That's a shame about the girls. Without really having went through it but based on the experience I have their whole issue probably boils down to two things. One, emotional neglect. Kids so need the attention of their parents. At least when they are young they do. It's like with the girls, they are willing to do just about anything with us that we are doing simply so they have the opportunity of having our attention which is mostly talking. When they have been away for a little while it is so noticeable because all three of them clamber for attention, so three girls frantically talking at once. They calm down after a little while because they know we listen to them. I have always carried on conversations with kids whether young or old just as I would another adult. It's amazing what kids think and notice.
The other thing the two girls I'm sure were missing was the discipline. With kids you just have to be consistent. You can't let them get away with something even once. They may not want to admit it but they do take comfort in knowing what to expect from a parent. And it's not easy. You can't be lazy and be consistent. It's just so much easier to turn a blind eye or let them get away with something if you are tired or busy then to go deal with them but it is what they need. And no not every person should be a parent. My mother was like that. She had kids because that's what women did at that point in time, get married and then have kids but it was never in her. She wasn't horrible, she didn't abuse us but it was there and it was noticeable, at least to us kids.
I did a compost pile once, it got over run by these things I'm not even sure what they were beyond some kind of bug. They were disgusting and so I have never done it again.

Lyndy, I start my cleanse on Monday. I'm excited. I want to start tomorrow, but we just got the new fridge so we have to let it cool off and then fill it with stuff! haha. I have started working out again. I actually(as ridiculous as this sounds) got the Brazilian butt lift dvd set. Its INTENSE! I've been doing that, the good thing about it is it targets your butt and your thighs, but its a lot of cardio so thats really good and I have a serious ab work out that I haven't tried yet, but that should bring the 6 pack I'm looking for. haha. I also got a 18 minute plank work out. Turns out a plank is hard to do for long periods of time, especially when you're semi out of shape! LOL I've been working really hard in my yard too, hauling cinder blocks and dirt and stuff. So I think I'm going to do really well this time around with getting into shape, I just have to stick to it! You guys have to be my coaches and remind me that a six pack of beer will make me happy for like an hour but a six pack of abs will make me happy for years to come! haha. I can't wait to show off my new tummy. I told my husband that I'm going to walk around and be like "hey guess what I got BAM *six pack in the face!*" I also asked him if when I do get that six pack if we could go to the Biltmore House and stay at the Biltmore Hotel, which is 4 stars and spend the whole weekend walking around the Biltmore house and its grounds; he pinky promised me we could. So thats pretty awesome!
Lisa, I'm the same way. Not girly, even though I do like to paint my nails...a lot. I do wear make up and I do make sure my hair is colored! haha. But I get down and dirty every day, knee deep in chicken poop and chickens. haha. I would much rather be in my yard that at a mall or anything like that! I was meant for boys too.
Denise, you couldn't have said it any better! They were definitely deprived of love and attention. They had all the toys and everything they wanted but that doesn't replace a parent. I stopped nannying when I found out I was pregnant, plus we moved out of Charlotte to where we are now.
Well I would like to say, rest in peace my lovely green fridge! We dropped it at the dump today, in the graveyard for large appliances. I told it goodbye and we drove off. I hate this new fridge. Its really big and its wrecking the whole flow of my kitchen. The other one fit perfectly and was almost made for my house, this one is too new and too...ugh. Its nice though, its got lots of space and all that, but its just not the same. I'll have to get used to it, but I'm not overly excited about it.
I am starting a new project tomorrow(hopefully) though! I'm turning out old coffee table into an ottoman! Its perfectly square and has dangerously shape points on it. So I'm going to pad it and put a nice fabric on it and paint it and make it into an ottoman/seat, plus it has storage. So it will make a nice addition to our living room with its revamp. And the fabric and paint I choose will be the "foundation" for my living room redecoration.
Unfortunately for my husband, my subscription of Better Homes and Gardens got here the other day...mwahhahaha. So thats a free years worth of wonderful tips and great houses to aspire to! LOL Poor him!

It really is strange you said ants bc last night I watched a 48 min documentary on Fire Ants on Netflix It was scary and I was afraid if get nightmares, but also very educational. Give it a watch! I hate ants too. I respect them bc they're very intelligent and interesting to watch, but our neighbors had a giant any bed and they have migrated into our yard!!!!!! >:[ so mad about that! There's one ant bed on our air conditioning unit and they can short that thing so I want them gone immediately! Grrr! But yeah, good documentary!
Fire ants are a pain in the bum. I've been bitten numerous times, but the most I've been bitten in one icident is 3 times on my foot. It burns a little and itches like crazy for a while. But to be honest, a single bee sting is worse than one or two fire ant bites. I can't imagine being covered in them though. They're really common in Florida.
It sounds like you're very pro-active about your housey projects, I think that's great, I'm not quite as crafty as that, they I have in the past entertained the thought of making rabbit hutches, decent ones, I just don't have the equipment for it.

America is the reason that all the other countries have fire ants. I am sorry for our carelessness. (South America gave them to us first though! Poo on them!)
When I was a toddler I sat in an ant bed. Talk about pain and being traumatized!!!!!!!

Did you ever replace the cord on your old fridge? That's a shame it had to be ruined by a tiny bun. I hate when you get something like that but then don't like it. We got a fridge when we bought the house. It has the side by side fridge/freezer. It did give us some more freezer space but we have less freezer space. We have to chest freezers so I would rather have fridge space. The kids and hubby like the water and ice maker in the door though. So does the dog, he goes running whenever he hears ice hit the floor.
Numerous times when out birdwatching and photographing, I've come across something exciting and stopped to spend a long time looking and taking shots. A short while later there'll be a stinging, burning pain in my leg. I look down to discover my legs covered in ants, at which point I usually jump around like crazy to get them off
It's happened more than once, but I do try to be more careful when birdwatching now.
