The Trials of a Busy Mom

Count those chicks

Thank you to all of you who entered Ryan’s Chicken contest. It was fun to have so many visitors, and so many comments! Thanks!

But honestly, you are all OVER. Seriously? 57? Have you been to my house? It would have to be totally overrun with chickens. Not that I would mind, really, but you guys think I am totally chicken crazy or something. We’re not counting this kind of “chicken” in our count, by the way.

Mostly I just have a few accent chickens around, like on the entertainment center in this silly picture below.

The bulk of the chicken count is actually from my curtain hangers. (Sorry, no picture). But there are 8 chicken shaped hooks that my curtains hang from. And the grand total?

21. I guess if you added parakeets and cockatiels you could get the total up to 30, but we were going with chickens (as per Ryan’s rules).

Yes. Only 21. Joni was actually the closest guess with 23. So, congratulations, Joni! Come on over for dinner. But in the spirit of fun and frivolity, we’d like to invite ALL of you over for dinner! (I feel very much like Oprah as I typed that last part. “You’re all getting cars! Cars for Everyone!” Right?)

The kids are constantly bugging us and asking when we’ll be inviting people over for dinner, so NOW we will. We’ll be contacting you in the next few weeks to see if we can get a date arranged to get together for dinner! How fun is that? And if you chose to bring me a new chicken for my collection, I wouldn’t complain. We may not get to everyone until barbeque season, but we would love to invite you all!

Thanks again for playing along. Come back anytime and see what we’re up to! And don’t forget to leave a comment, because I LOVE comments.

    I was surprised that the guesses were going so high as well.

    I suppose my definition of ‘chicken crazy’ is a bit different than all yours!

    I could’ve gotten the count a lot higher if I’d made it a ‘Chickens and/or Teapots’ contest.

    🙂

    Well, I thought my count of 30 was high, but oh well. We’d love to come to dinner. That’s quite a generous offer if everyone who voted gets to come.

    i only guessed high because of Tess’s guess, figuring she knew more since she lives closer than me. We’re excited to come to dinner sometime.

  8. Amy

    I was close! But I’ve been to your house lots and only noticed 2 or 3 chickens.

  9. Joni

    Yes! We are so excited to come over. Let’s plan a night soon. Are we eating chicken?
