A Chicken By Any Other Name

All of my boys are now involved in the The Chicken Game and Rogan finally got his turn tonight.  After finding and then placing Mr. Pickles in a new hiding spot, Rogan was having a hard time recalling what we have been calling the plush little poultry.

“Pickle Birdy”, “Mr. Chicken”,  and  “Pickle Chicken” are just a few of the alternates Rogan concocted.  Of course, Rogan is still very much under the weather and probably suffering from sleep deprivation and a fever induced psychosis which prevents his brain from retaining ANY information.

Or, he’s just 3!

Either way, Mr. Pickles has found a loving home here with us and regardless of what adorable monikers the boys create, Mr. Pickles is still the cutest little chicken around!

Mr. Pickles tries to make new friends.

Mr. Pickles…Who ARE You?

Everybody wants to know!!

Well maybe not everybody, but my friend Regan asked and so I’m going to give her an answer!

I was introduced to The Chicken Game through a new blogger friend…Hi Kate!!!…and I have to admit, at first I was weary.  I was all “are you kidding me?,  a little chicken, in strange poses with funny captions, but then I saw some more pictures of Mr. Pickles, and was all “Oh yeah, of course, a little chicken in strange poses with funny captions, now that is funny!” AND, as a bonus, I have more blog fodder!

So I jumped on the band wagon after Kate…Hi Kate!!… gave me my own Mr. Pickles at a recent girls weekend.  And I actually have not yet introduced Mr. Pickles to my kids or my husband…I’ve been having all the fun by myself.  Of course Rogan has been sick ALL WEEK LONG and I was trying to wait to introduce my little chicken to all three boys at once.

Survival with Mr. Pickles

Mr. Pickles plays dead.

The Softer Side of Mr. Pickles

Today Mr. Pickles is helping to care for my poor wee Rogan.  He hardly ate anything yesterday and woke up in the night with a fever.  So we’re taking it easy today and catering to his every need.
