They have already named their pre-hatched chicks "Jake" and "Elizabeth." :)
This morning J announced that he saw his egg move and he thought it was Jake's leg trying to work its way out of his shell early. I reassured him that Jake would not come out until Easter morning.
This afternoon I found H with her play doctor kit, using the stethoscope on her egg. She was very, very, very serious and intent on listening. It wasn't long before she announced, "I heard it! I heard it! I heard Elizabeth pecking in her shell!" :)
Man, I love this tradition with them and realize it won't last much longer before they outgrow the wonder and amazement that is so prominent this year.
So, now we are in the garage, busy at work, making suitable nests for the soon-to-be-born chicks. We have a large clear Tupperware bin filled with cedar chips on the bottom, a heat lamp, a water tray, and a food tray.....
And now we will wait until morning........
HAPPY EASTER!!!
