Spirited Sons - The Egg Celebration

Welcome to My Blog!

Schooling two active boys has never been more... interesting. That's the word I'm looking for! I love my boys! God has given them the blessing of strong, active bodies and minds. We continually pray the first will remain intact, and the second will remain engaged with Him first, and then the school work. You'll meet my sweet sons, both entirely different, but both loving God to the best of their ability in the way He made them. I lovingly refer to them as my Bell Pepper Boy and my Habanero or Hambone. That should say it all! This blog is an eclectic mix. The events, conversations, and the thoughts behind it all will be in here. Every once in a while I'll try to capture something I don't want to forget. I hope you find things you enjoy. Please let me know if you do! Blessings!

The Egg Celebration

Posted in School Things

Hi, I'm Habanero.

I just got these eggs in the mail! They are quail eggs, Button Quail.

When we opened the box, there were twelve eggs, but one of them was cracked. The cracked egg was blueish-green in color. I opened up the egg and it had a yolk. It was kind of interesting. The other eggs are brown, white, peanut butter color, and a whitish-green one with poop on it. (Big sigh from Mom!) They all have dots on them, and that's kind of interesting. I've never seen that many eggs all dottish.

Tomorrow we will put them in the incubator. I will be turning the eggs 3 times each day. Mom drew Xs and Os on the eggs. It was very scary for me. I thought she might crack one. The Xs and Os are for keeping track of the eggs when we turn them. I'll be turning them for 14 days. They will hatch around day 16. The eggs should hatch on or after September 21st.

Mom says we'll keep you posted!

Bye! I'm going to hang out with my mom now.

Friends, I'll try to get you all some pictures of this little temporarily insane "moment" I'll be having. I guess I'll be hanging out with my son now? ;')

Oh, will you take photos and keep us updated? I've always wanted to do this... I think I would keep them all living here in the city - and my husband would not go for that. What do you do with them after they hatch?
