23/365

Leila has been doing this thing when I take photos, trying to shut her eyes right when I snap the shutter. Oh this one is a pistol.

Well we finally made it out today! For some reason my online payment to my credit card drafted from the wrong bank account (in the wrong bank), so we had to make a trip downtown to draw money from one bank and deliver it to the other. Fun, to drag kids around downtown through the cold.. But they managed (actually did very well, though a trip that would have taken me or Ali alone 20 minutes took an hour) and we stopped by the library before taking the bus back home.

We got some books on raising chickens. I was all gung ho until I got to the section on health care... chickens look like they might require a lot, health wise. I'm going to have to do some more research into this. Leila is very excited about having chickens though. I asked her if we could eat the chickens we are getting and she says no, only the eggs. She wants to "keep having chickens" so she doesn't want to eat them.
