URGENT BLOGIVERSARY UPDATE

Greetings, everyone!  

It has just come to our attention this afternoon that we made some mistakes in regard to the Blogiversary Period Movie Quote Matchup.  Some of our movie pictures were not the right versions of the movie we took the quote from, etc.  So please, re-read our freshly edited Blogiversary post!

We apologize for this faux pas, and if you wish to re-enter your answers, feel free to do so!

Thank you and we're so sorry for the mixup

Katherine & Grace

Blogaversary

 
     Greetings and salutations one and all! We are here, on this festive occasion, to announce that it is our first Blogiversary!!!!!! 

Can you tell we're excited!!!!!

To celebrate we wanted to do a GIVEAWAY!!!!! (Oh yes, we are determined to do this right!!!) But you see, I (Grace) thought we needed more of a reason for said giveaway, so
BEHOLD
our very first
PERIOD MOVIE QUOTE MATCHUP!!!!!!!!!!

To enter the giveaway, take the quiz in the comment section down below, answering which quote goes to which movie from the provided list. Hopefully this will be semi-challenging for you; we tried to put in a few obscure quotes and some we just think are hilarious for no apparent reason. The quiz will be open for a week starting March 21 and ending midnight March 28th, so if you wish to enter our giveaway, it would be most beneficial to do so during that period of time! We will announce the winner a few days after the contest has ended.

The Grand Prize

The grand prize consists of: 

A small trinket for your jewelry box

Some of Mamma's finest soap

A Paris water flask

And so without further ado...

Spring cuteness!!!

     Top of the morning to ya!!! How is everybody out there in this big beautiful world??? I am here on this....extremely wet, windy and rainy day, to tell you that our goats had their babies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, the cuteness! Oh, the adorableness!!!!! Prepare yourselves for extreme cuteness!!!

 Our cat,  Little Miss
(Yes, we know she's the strangest baby goat you ever 
saw, but she is just irresistible to photograph!)

 Sasha

 Jasper

 Ginger with her mother, Amy

 (From left to right) Zinnia, Aspen, Tansy
(partially behind Aspen and her mother) and Sadie

 Esther with babies: Sophie and Sasha

 Zinnia, Aspen and Tansy again (who really
did not want to be photographed)!

 Ginger, Minnie and Lizzie

 Zinnia....again!

 Ginger ( who was very sociable)

 Minnie May

 Sophie

Sophie and Sasha

So to introduce them by.....occurence:

     Our dearly beloved doe, Sadie gave birth to triplets, two girls and a boy: Zinnia, Aspen and Tansy!

     Next, our HEAVY milk producing doe, Amy gave birth to Quadruplets!!!!!! I mean come on!!! And  they were three girls and a boy. I thought it would be cute to name them Flopsy, Mopsey, Cottontail and Peter, but Mamma thought calling an adult goat Flopsy doesn't exactly work, so instead we named them Jasper, Ginger, Minnie May and Lizzie.

     The above quads were born at night and as we're all exclaiming over them, Esther in the next stall over, begins to paw the ground and grunt and groan as if she's going into labor, but her udder is not filled out with milk for the new babies, so we just hoped she was having sympathy pains.  The next morning when Mamma comes into the barn, she found Esther with twin girls, Sophie and Sasha!

     If anyone would like any videos of baby goat antics or as Mamma says "a meet and greet", you have but to ask and we will be happy to oblige! Now for your reading amusement we put forth...

The Doe Code of Honor

     The doe's secret code of honor is as old as goats themselves and is the specie's best kept secret. No doe shall ever kid before its time. (Its time being determined by the following factors):

1- No kid shall be born until total chaos has been reached by all involved. Your owner's house must be a wreck, their family hungry and desperate for clean clothes, and their social life nonexistent.
2- "Midwives" must reach the babbling fool status before you kid out. Bloodshot eyes, tangled hair and the inability to form a sentence mean the time is getting close.
3- For every bell, beeper, camera or whistle they attach to you, kidding must be delayed by at least one day for each item. If they use an audio monitor, one good yell per hour will keep things interesting.
4- If you hear the words, "She's nowhere near ready. She'll be fine while we're away for the weekend," Wait until they load the car, then begin pushing!
5- Owner stress must be at an all time high! If you are in the care of someone else, ten to fifteen phone calls a day is a sign you're getting close.
6- When you hear the words "I can't take it anymore!" wait at least three more days.
7 -You must keep this waiting game interesting. False alarms are mandatory! Little teasers such as looking at your stomach, pushing your food around in the bucket and then walking away from it, and nesting, are always good for a rise. Be creative and find new things to do to keep the adrenaline pumping in those who wait.
8- The honor of all goats is now in your hands. Use this time to avenge all of your barn mates. Think about your friend who had to wear that silly costume in front of those people. Hang onto that baby for another day. OH, they made him do tricks too! Three more days seems fair. Late feedings, the dreaded diet, bad haircuts, those awful wormings can also be avenged at this time.
9- If you have fulfilled all of the above and are still not sure when to have the kids, listen to the weather forecast on the radio that has been so generously provided by those who wait. Severe storm warning is what you're waiting for. In the heart of the storm jump into action! The power could go out and you could have the last laugh. You have a good chance of those who wait missing the whole thing while searching for a flashlight that works!
10- Make the most of your interrupted nights. Beg for food each time someone comes into the barn to check you. Your barn mates will love you as the extra goodies fall their way too.
Remember, this code of honor was designed to remind man of how truly special goats are. Do your best to reward those who wait with a beautiful doeling to carry on the Doe Code of Honor for the next generation of those who wait.
