One of my chicks turns 7 today!

and guess what she got for her birthday?

yep, chicks…..and ducks

You only turn 7 once, right?  And I am a firm believer in a little bit 

of childhood magic.  So what if they ‘cheep’ alot.  So what if there are 6 of them.

Life is messy.  Might as well get your hands dirty.

And this particular wonderful spring time fun is 

brought to you by Daddy…who apparently

thinks childhood is magical too.

The girls have named them

and held them…

and fed them…

and watched them….

and are currently running a little bath water

for the ducks to take a swim.

Every adult should occasionally put all rational thought aside.

And enjoy the small creatures God made.

So while my oldest chick is in NYC on a choir trip,

the younger chicks will play with their own ducks and chicks.

And watch cute YouTube videos of chicks hatching.

We throw caution to the wind

and celebrate

life’s little wonders.

More birthday fun to follow!

P.S.  One of my precious readers wrote the sweetest things about me and it really blessed me to read it.  The isolating world of homeschooling is made easier by those of you who read this blog and offer so much encouragement.  I am thankful for you all.  Check out her blog here.
