Spring Stuff & School Stuff

Well, as most of you know by now today is a very important day...
Wyatt starts his new school.
His bag is cleaned out of old school work, scribbled on papers, old notes home about half days, no days and holidays.
We found the school pictures that I had forgotten were even taken and somewhere between six and twenty three pounds of rocks.
What is with kids and rocks?
No special fancy rocks, just plain rocks.
His clothes are ready, his hair is clean and his face is washed.
He has a fresh haircut, clean socks and short fingernails, so all I have to do is roll him out of bed and make sure his teeth are brushed and he'll be ready to go.
He used to have to catch the bus at 6:40, and now he doesn't even have to wake up until after 8:00 so as of right now, the new school is "winning" and he hasn't even gotten out of bed yet.

Today I'm making these scones and planting these peonies!
I was going to plant the peonies yesterday, but I had to do a little reading on them first and then it got to late in the day because we only have one truck right now because 6 broke his and hasn't had time to fix it yet so he's driving "mine" so there wasn't time for me to go to town.
I'm going today though, and I'm getting already planted peonies because I need instant peony gratification and then I'm going to the store to get craisins for the scones.
I made macaroni and cheese last night and stepped up my recipe with sour cream and Bac-Os.
I know, it sounds trashy, but it was SO good!
I used twisty noodles and regular macaroni noodles in two different sizes to give it some artistic interest and doubled the bread crumbs. I think next time I'm going to do something really crazy and try adding some cream cheese.
I wish I would have taken a picture of it, it looked as good as it tasted all hot bubbly melty cheesey goodness right out of the oven.
I have to stop talking about it or I'm going to end up in the kitchen licking the plates from last night.

Frack hatched four rocks eggs yesterday!
It's taken her three years to figure out how to finagle some other hens eggs away, but she finally did it. No rocks for Frack this time, no sir, she hatched out four real live fresh and feathered chicks.
They're a motley looking little bunch, but she sure loves them.
If the dogs, cats, ducks or donkeys get to close to her babies she sounds the alarm and chases away the intruder and as soon as everyone is a safe distance away from her brood she continues parading through the yard.
I'll see if I can get a picture later today, it's too cute not to share.
She's kind of the Angelina Jolie of the barnyard.

Ok, that's all.
I have to go wake up Wyatt.
Pea(onie)s.
