More Chicken Adventures

Conner goes outside to gather eggs from the chickens.  Conner puts eggs in pockets.  Conner decides to practice catching chickens.  Chickens do not want to be caught today.  Conner slips and falls.  Conner returns to house. In the meantime,  Mommy is desperately trying to edit Daddy's final assignment so they can be finished with his accelerated Master's program FOREVER.  Conner wanders all over house trying to find Mommy in order to tell her that his shorts are covered in mud and dripping egg.   Daddy tries to intervene, but Mommy sees Conner's shorts before Daddy can hide Conner from Mommy.  Mommy decides to write story on blog instead of having nervous breakdown.

And here is the version I wrote first, which is a little more "embellished" (It's a little more "wishful thinking," although I do tease my hubby about "owing" me photo toys for every week's assignment that I've edited.  James always says that I've earned the Master's degree just as much as he has!):
