My boy...like a chicken

While working in the yard yesterday I suddenly noticed that Oscar was prancing around the coop with out his clothes on. He told me his pants got chicken poop on them and that he had to take them off. I asked about his shirt and he said "I wanted to be like a chicken".
This kid kills me!!! Just a year ago I found him in the back frolicking through the mud in nothing but his birthday suit.
I love him soooooo much. I love that he loves being outside. Today he was telling me about all of the things he wanted to plant in "his" garden spot. The list includes "all kinds of vegetables and Mom you need to give me a big garden spot so I can grow a maple tree and a fruit tree. Maybe a pear tree. Or a coconut."
Yeah I'll let ya'll know if we ever grow a coconut tree here in the northwest.
What a great kid!

Love it! Kids can get away with almost anything! Glad he enjoyed it and I hope it was warm out too!

oscar cracks me up. i love that your kids are so comfortable outside and that you're ok with them running in the coop half naked! :) kellen is now asking for chickens. we may need to invest in them and a heating lamp in ak.

We always made fun of the thought that a kid might have a pet chicken. Now look at all of us...

what a great memory you are creating for your kids. You should adopt mine so they can have good naked chicken memories too. They are not getting them at this house.

OH, to run outside in tighty whities! That is a dream come true!
