Spirited Sons - Anyone . . . Anyone?

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!

Anyone . . . Anyone?

Posted in School Things

Well, this is Day 18. Day 17 yielded a total of two very cute, healthy, and active chicks. Praise God for that!

The incubator is quiet now. We'll wait the traditional two days to see if any more will hatch. It's possible, and I sure hope we do get some more. I don't hear anything yet this morning that tells me we might be getting more, but you never know. The incubator was very quiet this time yesterday, too.

The numbers for the hatch are a pretty simple breakdown. For those interested in figuring the statistics, feel free. There were 12 eggs shipped. There was 1 egg broken when the box arrived (fairly normal). There are 2 healthy chicks running around in my brooder. There are 9 eggs, obviously, waiting in the incubator.

We are the family that will take the time to open all of the eggs in the end to see what happened. All of our reading to this point will tell us at what point the the development ended. The first time we did that we learned a lot! This time I think we will only understand a lot more.

I'm hoping to get an entry today that gives more detail on the chicks we have. I didn't get any good pictures of hatching because of battery issues, but I definitely have pictures of the two after they were out and my batteries were charged. If one hatches today, that would be great for more pics. ;')

I also took a video last night of the two chicks running around like crazy. (Yes, Button Quail chicks can run all over...and all over each other...in a matter of hours.) I don't know how to put that on my blog, but they sure are cute!

Have a wonderful day, friends. I'll try to get pics up later today.

Blessings!

Tuesday, September 23, 2008 - COOL

Posted by dillyhomeschool

Hey that sounds realy fun. My son is 6 and I just look forward to doing cool projects like that a little later. Althoufh I may bust out the errupting volcano project from my bag of tricks today. That will really earn some "cool mom" points. Although I am not so sure it will be as cool as hatching chicks LOL. How old are your boys? I was wondering because I have been reading Superfudge and Fudgemania to Ty and I am approaching the end and need more material. He really began to start liking reading as a result of these books and I was really hoping to keep that interest. So any 6yr old boy book reccomendations?
