Bahaha!
I have always wanted to title a post that.
So. Here’s what’s up.
My sister is having a baby in a few weeks. All I can think about is babies right now. Holding babies. Rocking babies. Smelling babies.
(Not to be confused with a smelly baby.)
But, here’s the deal.
I’m done having babies.
Like, the heavens opened up and confirmed there will be no more itty bitty snuggly babies in this household.
And I cried with relief.
For weeks.
So even though I am done carrying babies, the maternal hormones still crave holding somethin’ itty bitty.
So I did what any normal human being would do.
I bought baby farm animals.
Two chicks to be exact!
I almost bought baby ducks, but alas I lack a pond.
Holy crap, baby ducks are freakin’ adorable!
So, without further adieu, here are our two new babies:
Feather is on the left. Fluff is on the right.
Fluff is very well-behaved. Feather is skittish and ran away yesterday for four hours and hid underneath the shed.
I spent an entire afternoon chasing her, and swearing, and crying with frustration, and wondering what on earth was I thinking bringing home two babies.
Then I remembered I always say that when I bring a baby home.
Now, let’s talk seriously for a minute.
I was thinking of getting a baby turkey.
How long do you think it would stay little?
And more importantly, do farmer’s generally accept fully grown turkeys left at their front door?
Yes?!
I think they would be okay with it too.

Guess what. I married a turkey farmer. A former turkey farmer, anyway. Baby turkeys are so very cute! They don’t stay little for too long, though. Weeks… If you decide to get a turkey and need to send it to a foster farm, my father-in-law is a turkey farmer in Moroni. Your kids could even come visit the bird- or one that looked just like it.
(Is it wrong that I’m sitting here chuckling about the foster farm thing? You can buy turkey products from Foster Farms at the grocery store… I need a nap.)

So you know my dad’s a turkey farmer right? (and my uncles and cousins, it’s a big family thing for us). The truth is, baby turkeys are only cute for about a week, if that. At least that is my opinion. However, they are VERY cute for that short period of time. I guess you could probably enjoy them for a couple weeks. If you’re really interested, let me know. You’re welcome to come and see them at my dad’s farm as well (he literally has thousands when he gets them). If you ever decide to go to Sanpete county then I can totally hook you up. Wow, having a hook-up with turkeys is qutie the claim to fame wouldn’t you say?
It’s fun to go down to the Mormon Miracle Pageant at the Manti Temple which is coming up in a few weeks. Anyway, now you know.
Oh, and Corrine, not sure who you are or who your family is, but I grew up in Moroni so I probably know your family. Confession, I “blog stalked” you, but couldn’t tell.
