Henry and I celebrated by driving out to see the fireworks at the fairgrounds. "Fireworks mean it's someone's birthday," says Henry. We did mainly watch from inside the truck, though, since he was worried that we were too close and the noise was too loud. No problem, fewer bugs that way. Frannie celebrated our nation's birthday by taking a too-short nap and going to bed early. Daddy celebrated the 4th by spending most of the afternoon inflating and filling the backyard pool. He's a good daddy.</div><div><br /></div><div>All sorts of new and exciting things are happening here on the farm. We have acquired 8 chickens, all hens (technically pullets, since they aren't laying eggs yet). They reside in a "chicken tractor," which is a mobile henhouse + fenced run that can be wheeled around the yard. We are hoping for eggs in September (if we're lucky). For those interested in the finer details, we have 3 Buff Orpingtons (the yellow/buff colored ladies), 3 Rhode Island Reds (yep, the reddish ones), and 2 Dominiques (the black and white gals). There's always a chance when you start with chicks that you will end up with a rooster or two anyway, but it looks like these are all girls.</div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirL-4k5cUTSPkJ3E6gy1YoVhc0tTD8XWoKwWfRoiJabVlU31HxRSPahVZqs91qVB_lBy0dCqh-lzHFQCtxLIavmF7156-LjlUh3byQTTrBP2zW8EpQSolxRVZDrvz1j9irjBCn/s1600/DPP_0002.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirL-4k5cUTSPkJ3E6gy1YoVhc0tTD8XWoKwWfRoiJabVlU31HxRSPahVZqs91qVB_lBy0dCqh-lzHFQCtxLIavmF7156-LjlUh3byQTTrBP2zW8EpQSolxRVZDrvz1j9irjBCn/s320/DPP_0002.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625708401268877234" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">New baby chicks, less than 1 week old.</div><div><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV06tpIpP5mSBKypEFs4drMFgNivitspIuOAGqjYjwLJq8ruEwUgbWdYxfSWXbrJdtBAtXNjCgX0aD1xw6CnwyAZryUKgEyWAEVtX5YPFvGynDa2t49Z043KyRvP1wpIhVYyRS/s320/DPP_0003.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625705914711696722" /><div style="text-align: center;">The chicken tractor in action.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy2odo5VMZP1kdow_wHKbQ4EhwJKdTYj-8lu8koXnor4UUe3cP1Y-vOIEEDm2Ump_8RII0sJF0L80Kln9SsaD2yXBwjyBIj4CoKlii4frW0r4RGmWHeSM_f9YZNSDMe45EepE4/s320/DPP_0002.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625705909430166050" /><div style="text-align: center;">A couple of the girls up close.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>The garden is ridiculous. We started with 100 tomato seedlings, of which about 70 have survived. Yes, we may be crazy. Lots of green tomatoes, and lots of flowers, but no fresh 'maters yet. Soon I will be complaining about the gwazillion tomatoes we have to get canned. I'm also planning to dry a bunch of the cherry tomatoes. </div><div><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkrZXF-eXY9AIEuNT8_pZBi_FIfH-k-eO_-bn7j92HRl4Cgmd5JcimTFn3Ybgz8iXpF8BulMg2maj0FXNpPlzeRAbB1swMtNV98YbBqq5FsD1kK_syRPmxPfc_s6EFLfA56AOl/s320/DPP_0001.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625705904576077762" /><div style="text-align: center;">Just a sampling of the tomato garden, before it became a tomato jungle.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUVb_sX7ex7wXTwYRti-1B6BQpaBMg3SvWKHYENFWmzYd46plLLpcYInxxdKjc4ltgRzN2YbjTQ4zoSeQbhyphenhyphenaU6Qb6DlGgI-L_YShMXWNKR5rrFq5mq6MoE1aS-aAuQ9-73orl/s1600/DPP_0001.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a></div><div><br /></div><div>The potato plants look good, and the spring peas are just about spent. Kale is still going (surprising in the heat we've had lately). The onions may or may not survive a grass invasion--I've pretty much decided to give up and just see what's left in the fall. Que sera sera. Our Louisiana purple pod pole beans just had their first harvest; they are super cute! Pepper plants are still tiny, bush beans, soybeans, cucumbers, and carrots are still pretty small, and the beets look dismal. Artichokes were dug up by some mean little animal, so we'll have to wait until next year to try that again. Brussels sprouts and okra have been planted (maybe a bit late, but we'll see). Overwhelmed yet? We are. And due to the crazy weather I never got around to planting several other seeds I wanted to try this year (canteloupe, several herb varieties).</div><div><br /></div><div>Henry has made it through 3 rounds of swimming lessons, which he loves. He can now jump off the platform by himself and swim to his teacher. It's an ugly dog paddle, but, hey, it's a work in progress. He and Daddy went to the movies last week to see Cars 2--Henry has been waiting for this all summer. Next on his agenda is August, when he goes to the beach! His favorite word currently is "actually," and the most frequently heard sentence in our house, "I'm four and a half now."</div><div><br /></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh26K2-8HY8ZMSSqqDI9yfPf_pBe-QArJTZcCc1ybkIduj_7laLfrnLX1nGQkVBqBbOopvBSwSVxTUwT4hGGTjqxXK9WmJ-ni2dtxLunu-DBP9euC5t5p3ilmYyz-NaCVXp4vu-/s320/DPP_0003.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625708383400782722" /><div style="text-align: center;">Hamming it up at the Louisville Slugger Museum.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBwZrEEf1njJZLlIIHWDLo6vUYaFTxknkTuQFPi1dwLz0xTSccY4kxaRyUlBWzipR99N0q9gtcZg6UeiEoIqSJeoKE3m7lSRF5Ts0_6f8NHpi3p5JU7ReBgLGnsl5S33h8S1Hx/s320/DPP_0001.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625708388150877890" /><div style="text-align: center;">The boy still loves his leaves.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>Frances is, of course, growing fast. She's also a little bit of a daredevil and tends to lead with her head, literally. So far no major injuries, though. She has decided that while it's fun to let Mommy put bows and pony tails in her hair, it's more fun to immediately yank them out. I'm starting to understand the short haircuts I always had as a kid. If this doesn't change soon we are going to seriously consider trimming some bangs. Not many words out of this girl yet, still mama, diddy, heehee, and mwah! but she usually gets her point across.</div><div><br /></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoqXu8r1BQIuxUy6FZKQFvTYlS-cIrM5GZkeehpqOB7-WabD4zR7FSyVceRKjKgw9jsv2lCOqMW1ja3d6EnSuYWF5wLYYxMbaabbO7Fyqw_HW8RjkWa1CPP-qP02nwWuqiv9io/s320/DPP_0002.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625705927141646594" /><div style="text-align: center;">"Yes, I can walk and drink from a sippy all at once.

I should not have complained about snow. Early Thursday morning we had an ice storm. Much worse than snow. At least this year's was not as catastrophic as <a href="http://doctorbec.blogspot.com/2009/01/baby-its-cold-outside.html">"The Ice Storm of '09."</a> The roads, however, are still pretty treacherous. As is our back porch, driveway, steps, and sidewalk. We haven't found the bag of salt yet.<div><br /></div><div>2. The creation of Christmas gifts goes on. I really LOVE not shopping in December. Frances and I went to the Walmart (crazy wild Saturday night, I know) for a few supplies, and I was very glad not to be worrying about purchasing gifts. Instead, I focused my energies on finding junk food. And shrinky dinks. Succeeded on the junk food. No shrinky dinks in Walmart, though, in case you need some. I guess I'll have to trek to Hobby Lobby sometime if I want those. The upside to that situation is that I'll have a good excuse to drive through Chick Fil A for another peppermint chocolate chip shake!</div><div><br /></div><div>3. For as much as we've been in the house lately, you would think we could make some headway on the cleaning. You would think that, but you would be wrong. I swear it seems to get worse every day. Where does all of this junk come from? I need to watch a few episodes of Hoarders and then go throw some crap out. If I had been thinking, I should have just planned to give everyone hand-me-downs for Christmas presents. Looks like I'm all set for Christmas 2011, though!</div><div><br /></div><div>4. The cats will be outside cats. Any minute now. Really. I mean it. It's just really cold. And they like to hover outside the back window meowing pathetically. I think I could stand them inside except for one thing: the kitty litter. And one other thing: the jumping on the table. Last night Biggie ate Henry's mac 'n cheese while Henry took a potty break.

It has been much too cold to do anything outside, so we've been doing lots of inside cleaning, and baking, and soapmaking. For my readers who don't live in Kentucky, when bad winter weather threatens, everyone rushes to the store for "bread and milk." Literally. As in, we (not thinking) made a routine trip to the Kroger for a nice Saturday afternoon outing. Bad idea. I suspect that everyone in the 5 county area was in our Kroger buying bread and milk. Luckily we still managed to snag some. (Hey, it was already on our list, I swear!) Imagine that a hurricane was coming and Rouse's was running low on batteries and bottled water--fun trip!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvGuwsnoMsqsKwnkLM-TrrojSvNxpgh2FxtjuLgXRnluDB-1R5DlLxEz2Sg1Jp8lZR8MvcbF3o9jz0dxyx2EdOP77AGEicmFEtqyT_YIIIiOl225uFquLH8nLijcte3SxmJv_L/s320/DPP_0001.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550028195875400850" /></div><div><br /></div><div>2. A few things Henry has been saying lately:<div><br /></div><div>--I like that "Soda," referring to Yoda.</div><div><br /></div><div>--If you recall his favorite movie, Frosty the Snowman, you know that there is a bunny rabbit named Hocus Pocus. Henry likes to pretend that he's playing with the rabbit, but he calls him "Focus Focus," or sometimes "Hokist Pokist" if he's corrected.</div><div><br /></div><div>--He does like to repeat everyone's full names. He knows Henry Dennis Chatham, and Dennis Edward Chatham, and Becca Perry Chatham. Our favorite, though, is Frances Aunt 'Ree Chatham!</div><div><br /></div><div>--Frequently he points out when everyone is in attendance by yelling out, "Whole Family!" and then naming out everyone. Sometimes the whole family also includes the Gipper, and occasionally Biggie and Smalls as well.</div><div><br /></div><div>--A couple of times this week I've caught him calling his baby sister Frannie. No more, "Her name is Frances, Mommy!" I guess.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoJrexrHRGGqbiOBLVHsLGRKsSRy4225baKIbkLevRogTg18RzDvvfMZPE-q7YnNon0pL1g6Rw-Bu8-0lda6EE3_puJ3NPO5hzRhE9qiojXqv81KxmjHeobDyr4M0lXVCTa_Sh/s320/DPP_0004.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550028216339715554" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>3.

Thanksgiving was lovely. We were joined by my whole immediate family. Dennis made the roasted turkey and stuffing (basted every 20 minutes, thank-you-very-much), which as always was delicious. Jacob also contributed a tasty, crispy fried turkey. We couldn't get anyone to take leftovers home, so we ended up with three gallon ziplocs full of leftover turkey meat. At least that's when we gave up and tossed the rest. Also delicious: Marie's pumpkin cream pie a la Pioneer Woman, Kelly's green beans, Mere's cranberry sauce from scratch, oyster artichoke soup, Doodah's salad...<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>2. Gipper has two new "little sisters." We adopted 2 cats. Yup, two. The idea was to get a barn cat to take care of the mouse problem. So far we have two inside cats and no dead mice.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 315px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsZCPWIj94CMzvz6ZQKJtbcp1WIuBo_v97vzxNL6EJhrwD2Fm2oJBm8Yp0aGl3eX0zrw6E3H1vCYeD4ahFcksaAb35xpHeeJG_yy1Dxhl9Ougee_4qlf_rOyBNc_cu7xbDYwn1/s320/DPP_0001.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547402977419263506" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Meet Biggie.

Have you seen any of the episodes in which a hoarder has 30+ cats in the house? I can only imagine that the stench must knock you over before you even get in the door. Just having cats in two rooms of the house with a litter box that's cleaned twice a day is already disgusting.</div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div>3. Henry's favorite Christmas show is <a href="http://www.cbs.com/specials/frosty/">Frosty the Snowman</a>. He begs to watch it every day. He also yells for the song every time we're in the car. (There is a sequel to Frosty, Frosty Returns, starring John Goodman as the voice of Frosty. Please don't ever watch it-it's just terrible.)</div><div><br /></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 236px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiukVL11W7gNg51JeMIXu7k8mFZnempwST5hGhqdH-u3KHX7xWRqnKJUZ2lOoSveBSLh4QAyhfDycgNU6dT55R2MqDzt-ic_e3wS3fP1bkt00aDseykojv9OjAI-yfw9jLSLutJ/s320/DPP_001.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547403629623767858" /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div>4. According to Henry, the newest member of our family is Pepper, our <a href="http://www.elfontheshelf.com/">Elf on the Shelf</a>. Every night Pepper magically goes to visit Santa to report on Henry's behavior, then returns to a new perch in the house before anyone wakes up. First thing each morning, Henry runs around looking for Pepper. When I get home each day from work, he has to show Pepper to me first thing. </div><div>Henry: "Mommy, look at Pepper! He's on the clock!"</div><div>Me: "Wow, how did he get up there?"</div><div>Henry: "He flied up there."</div><div>Me: "He did?"</div><div>Henry: "Yeah! With magic!"</div><div><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 317px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNrpu2kC8p59jn-eOQddgmozMgiRW5wS2qEtRo3DpEcFFGfs68ZhUxuoZSaueDLZfKq24PkAV3dbrh-OPMCkjpJvVauBu4ppyiJtC5cFFC8f6FT-3Dd1EtvxSBJDAmvEluIf25/s320/DPP_0003.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547402986972857186" /><div><br /></div><div>5. Rookie Boot Camp is over. Dennis finished it. I almost did, but I strained my right adductor group (aka inner thigh) and had to sit out the last few sessions. The good news is that I was able to ellipse and run on the treadmill this week without much discomfort, so I think my lying around doing nothing was successful. We're planning to rejoin the next session, but I don't think it starts up for a couple of months. I'm definitely not ready for the regular boot camp, so I'll stick with the rookie version for a while. Or maybe forever.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>6. Frances is crawling, pulling up, and cruising around the coffee table. She also can stand alone for 10-20 seconds at a time. I suspect she'll be walking any minute now. Frannie loves to talk to her toys, and her babbling has become very conversational (with some raspberries thrown in for good measure). </div><div><br /></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 251px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisogyL1A7HQF21EYgncJihf936ftCs_0XpjeOXBFypirRcVj4K3u5SJfxKLjJZdaM7msayXp0Ih0j9qsQmkjT5S13xj1bgy2o7d5ULr06Vch2o0yvhg1qpVikDlBiiuBNsYGHQ/s320/DPP_0001.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547402982261799586" /></div><div><br /></div><div>7. This year we are again trying to give mostly handmade gifts, which really makes the season more enjoyable for us. Yesterday we went to the Lex to do some shopping (unfortunately I haven't quite figured out how to hand-make Toy Story figures). It was immensely painful, and the nasty sleet/snow/rain wasn't helping, either. Hopefully we won't have to travel back until after the holidays. </div><div><br /></div><div>8. Delicious winter evening drink: hot spiced apple cider plus butterscotch schnapps. Yum!</div><div>Equally delicious old standby: hot cocoa with peppermint schnapps. I urge you to try one of them soon. You will be a happier person for it. </div><div><br /></div><div>9. Speaking of delicious/peppermint/cocoa combinations, yesterday I had a Peppermint Chocolate Chip Milkshake from Chick-Fil-A. If you are within driving distance of a Chick-Fil-A, get in your car now and go buy one.</div><div><br /></div><div>Seriously.</div><div><br /></div><div>I'll wait.</div><div><br /></div><div>Isn't it awesome? Okay, sorry if you are reading this on Sunday and drove all the way out to CFA just to realize that they are closed on Sundays. When you try again tomorrow you will realize the extra trip was worth it because the milkshake is <i>that</i> good. Oh yeah, so I take back what I wrote earlier about not going to Lexington again for a while. I need to go back for a milkshake. Or three. </div><div><br /></div><div>10. Henry is doing really well at getting himself dressed. Some mornings he shows up in our room fully dressed and ready for the day. Other days he's completely naked or just in his underwear, "My need help get dressed on!" </div><br /><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 280px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBN5NGLY10Zs_hIwY7W_dnXrGCX-02nypktlNerLwHMe68oYv5UtET9rp1IHmwunySGgj-uk-2_TuKt2CWpxRZmz11GQIbEFsvyyLKxwtzBsSegoZqZlYVL4CmywUxchsUNpz9/s320/DPP_002.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547403632873578386" /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 238px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcNjqDA14humSNMoRNOY1zYdM9ymsdEFMdtTkPbHe_UhnSNwX66v3OCT83ZLM6gl4-toOyBxTtN6evrzm8BalVTdDhlm2_V4CKs5KrdnB8RH0dRJptAR9-7ADXUmUNWfXgbAeR/s320/DPP_0002.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547402985979569010" /><div style="text-align: center;">It's Christmastime!</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div></div></div>Dr. Bechttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04673272397159673975noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24434283.post-64032035351979427992010-11-21T23:45:00.004-05:002010-11-22T00:23:54.331-05:00Weekend Update 11.21.10So the Weekend Update is a bit like Five Things Friday, but I won't guarantee that you're getting 5 things every time.

I'm open for suggestions.<div><br /></div><div>Like most 3-year-olds, Henry can be terribly hilarious to talk with, whether he knows it or not:</div><div><br /></div><div>1.

Is that okay?"</div><div>Henry: "Yes, but her NAME is Frances!"</div><div><br /></div><div>2. Henry had a difficult time adjusting to his new preschool, "Mommasori."</div><div>But now if you ask him how his day was, he replies, "I calm down at that new school, Mommy."</div><div><br /></div><div>3. Not surprisingly, Henry doesn't quite yet understand the difference between <i>can't</i> and <i>don't</i>. One of his favorite expressions: "I can't like that broccoli."</div><div><br /></div><div>4.
