Yesterday "the best Mommy in the world" brought home 9 baby chicks! A friend and colleague of mine at school who teaches ecology incubated a dozen eggs that we had gotten from a nearby farm. They hatched over the weekend and I brought them home in a lunch box yesterday. When I went to pick up Addie I had the lunch box on my shoulder and when I walked in she said, "Oh Mommy you got a new lunch box!" I told her yes and to open it up and see my leftovers from lunch and she so diligently did! :0) When she opened that top, she was SUPER surprised to see baby chicks inside. For the last 24+ hrs. my daughter has been in chick heaven and driving me crazy- no she's been a lot better than expected. I expected to have lost a chick by now but she is a good "babysitter" so she says! Enjoy the pictures of my babies! Oh, and are we keeping them all?? ABSOLUTELY NOT! They are headed to the farm in a week! :0) We are only their foster family. Addie has named five of the nine, she got tired and stopped! They are Penny, Peep, Chip, Caleb( after her cousin, haha) and Lucy!

Too cute!
See my daughter laid out across the 4-wheeler?
