After a weekend of relentless begging and pleading, we gave our permission (mostly me-James, not so much) for Daniel to bring home a chick that was being hatched at school. We actually asked for two, but not all of the eggs hatched and each child was only given one. You might be wondering why there are three in this picture . . . apparently chicks do better when they are not alone. So, James took the boys and headed to IFA to find ours a sibling or two. With advice and help from our good friend and chicken lover, Liz, we have managed to care for them for 6 days now. It is fun to see the boys care for something and they have been pretty good about changing the water and food and paper. They really have been pretty easy to care for . . . so far.

Those are the sweetest chicks ever. The picture of the one on the lawn needs to be framed and sold. And I love to see Josh holding it up to his face. Good job. I think you might be a family of chicken lovers after all!!lol
One of those chicks, look familar. One of my students left one on my desk on April Fools Day. They thought it was hilarious when I jumped. To think they are 16.
