a bit of bobbing...

willing victims hanging around the back yard
i awoke on halloween with a interesting question churning in my little cogs...
"do chickie peas like to play bobbing apples"

autumnal mushrooms making nice little resting spots for passing pesky gnomes

and it would appear, 
like most things i find with my fine feathered friends,
they do indeed enjoy a party game or two


"i think i see one"

"me first, no me first"

"i spy with my little eye"

and there is always one who tries to cheat...


she is wishing you a bit of spook and a lot of chocolate ~ Tif

Thank you for making me smile. Chickens apple bobbing? I am a happier person just for being shown the concept.

How cute, I wish I had thought of that for some Halloween fun. My 'girlies' have 'Bobbed' for Raspberries and blackcurrants that my seven year old chucked in their water he was making them a fruity drink! They didn't complain :)

The pictures are actually hilarious, love em.
Far more successful than my attempts with smallest boy and his pal. They were both so keen, probably due to my mentioning the fantastical spooky themed prizes.
Both little heads went for it in unison, a loud crack followed then slot of screaming. I just handed out the fantastical spooky themed prizes, took pal (head injury included) home and drank beer.
All good fun!! X

This is just delightful. I can't believe I haven't thought to include our chickies in family fun before.

I stumbled across your blog recently and just adore it Tif. I also married young, had 4 kids in six years and love creating my own handcrafted vintage granny style world. My oldest is only 9 so I'm in the trenches of the parenting part of life, however, I seem to find space for a healthy amount of creating. I just ordered your book and can't wait to check it out.

Cheers,
Ginger
