Pig Sitting



We had a blast pig sitting last night! The kids got to do all kinds of things...make the pigs jump, watch them eat, pee and poop, and lets not forget the best thing of all...the kids got to pee on the barn floor. After all, what's more fun than going to tha bathroom in illicit places?

All of this is geared toward our desire to eventually have a farm. I don't feel as if I have a good idea of what it takes to care for animals. I have read about it, talked to people about it, but I've never really done it, and there's no substitute for experience. Saturday, the kids and I are going to a chore day at the Stratford Ecological Center, where we will collect eggs, milk goats, and do various other chores at a sustainable farm. I can't wait!
