The incredible, edible, egg.

So I've decided that I really need to keep up with blogging. It helps me keep my sanity, in my busy life.
 With 2 growing boys, 2 business, and a hobby farm, you seem to find yourself forgetting about YOU.
Yeah, you busy moms know what I mean.
I've decided to make blogging my "me" time, even if it's just about random, everyday things.
So, a couple weeks ago, Chad and I had discussed letting Ian, age 7, sell our eggs.
He is obsessed with the birds, and finds it fascinating that every time he goes in the barn there's an egg or two. Or Twelve.

I figured, what a better way for him to learn some responsibility, and earn some extra spending money as well?
First, he has to use his money to buy feed, and with whatever is left over, he gets to pocket. (This plan my backfire, we shall see.)
I decided to make him a fan page on facebook, (another plan that may backfire.) just to see how he would do.
Within 24 hours, it had 30 fans. Within 48 hours, he got 5 customers. Of course, he is absolutely thrilled, not only is he selling eggs, but people get to write to him on facebook.
The first day, he came home from school, threw down his book bag, and yells "Did I sell any eggs? Did anyone come to the house? Did anyone say anything on the computer?" My response: "Oh, hi hon, how was your day?" He says: "MOM. EGGS." Ok, well I guess the "Hi mom, I'm home" days are over.
Since "Ian's Eggs" is so successful, my wheels have been turning. I laid in bed last night thinking that Chad needs to build a store. Right on the front lawn. I can sell homemade bread, which is something I've recently mastered, and make way too much. Along with Ian's eggs, other baked goods, and maybe some goats milk, once we get some does. It's brilliant, right?
As of right now, our head count consists of 1 Katahdin Ewe, 2 New Zealand rabbits, 5 Khaki Campbell ducks, 5 Mallards, 30ish chickens, 22 baby chicks, 3 dogs, and 3 cats.

Is that enough? Probably not.
