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!
