The turkeys in particular have come in handy in teaching my children some good habits. You see, I've convinced my children that turkeys are thieving shameless creatures. If Taegan leaves the front door open when she goes outside to play, I suggest to her that the turkeys will walk inside and eat all our food. This has never actually occurred, but it certainly seems theoretically possible. Convinced, Taeg' dutifully returns and closes the front door.
If Karsten leaves a toy outside on the lawn, I lament that a turkey will probably come and take Karst's toy back to his turkey lair. I concede that this is not a very plausible scenario. Nevertheless, Karst will quickly run outside and secure his toy. Nefarious turkey plot foiled!
My warnings of turkey villiany have apparently worked too well. Taeg' recently eyed a flock of turkeys loitering in the middle of our cul-de-sac. She determined they were up to no good and took it upon herself to mete out turkey justice.
No shoes or beating sticks necessary.
Watch for Taeggy's new reality show on TLC -- What Not To Wear While Turkey Hunting.

Those turkey's look like good ones to chase off. They don't look like they have any meat on their bones so better not see some really skinny turkey on our table for Thanksgiving. Taeg looks great in her orange pjs.
That is hillarious!
This morning when I woke up I would have described Taegan as fearless. But this afternoon, she found a snake in the backyard and Karsten convinced her it was 'DANGEROUS' so she scream and ran. Of course she freaked the snake out so by the time I got over there it was long gone. I asked them what color it was and they said RED and Karsten said it was bigger than him. 'Beware' visitors we have a RED, 5ft, garden snake in our backyard. Eugene is so dangerous!
I teared up from laughing so hard. Too funny.
She might be dangerous to turkeys but she is staying safe by wearing her "hunter orange" apparel.
I love it! Hmmm, what could I threaten my kids with that would get in the house and steal their toys that aren't picked up, the lizards, the roaches????
