Chicken Run

This week was my mom's birthday so I came home for the weekend to celebrate with the family on St. Patrick's Day. When I got to the house Friday night, my sister-in-law told my nephew to show me a "surprise" out in the shed in the backyard. I was a little hesitant. I'll admit that my first thoughts was that there was some dead animal that they found or maybe there were some kittens nestled in a box of my old dance costumes. Boy, was I off. I opened the shed door only to find a huge box with 5 or so baby chicks chirping away. Much to my mother's dismay, my brother (who's family is currently living in my parents house) had decided to go ahead and buy some chicks from IFA. Why? Because he wants to have his own eggs of course! So now he's talking about building a chicken coop and shooting the chicks that might turn into roosters and the whole time I'm just thinking about Chicken Run and pies. Now I really want to watch that movie...
