Chicken Coop Progress

We are working to get the chicken coop finished before Mike gets busy at work.  His Dad has come over a lot to help and has made it go so much faster and smoother.  We have the wall up and painted and the roof on so far, a good thing to because our chickens are growning so fast. 
Our dirty little helpers.
The kids have been so good while we work.  They play so nice for us.  There is a huge dirt field right next to the coop so the run through it and climb the dirt pile.  It is so awesome how dirt can be so much fun to them. 
I don't think this girl could have gotten any more dirty if she tried.  The combo of sunscreen, and popsicles created a very sticky surface though.  We had to crack out all of Aiden's old jeans for her to wear b/c this is what she looks like everytime she plays outside.
We have found out that Aiden is a great little painter too.  He helped me with a lot of the priming and some of the painting of the walls.  We gave him a roller and he went to town on it.
