Incubation Day 1

   Evelyn and I woke up bright and early at 7am today.  We needed an egg carton for our eggs we were picking up later so we made a quick trip to Winn Dixie and also got some donuts for breakfast. Junior had his horse show in Cocoa this afternoon. He was excited that he got to ride Hurley again. He participated in tot lead line and received a trophy at the end. He's excited about his trophy collection he is starting and having a horse on it makes it even better.

   After the horse show we drove down to Malibar to pick up our eggs. The family had a nice little project farm with about 100 chickens and quite a few goats.  There were Easter eggers, black star,  buckeyes, Delawares, and a few other breeds I can't think of their names right now. The son and daughter were in charge of the chickens, they were very nice kids. Upon arriving and seeing them I immediately knew they were homeschooled. I asked the girl halfway through the tour she was giving us and she said yes, I said I was also and that I was homeschooling my son, junior, who was in pre-k this year. She didn't really need to know that but sometimes when your a kid it's nice to know there are adults who went through the same thing as you are. I know there were times I didn't like being homeschooled and I didn't have a choice in the matter but I mostly enjoyed it since I got to spend all day with my mom and that was pretty fun. 

   Back to the chickens. They are labeled and in the incubator. The countdown begins, t minus +-21 days! I am not suffering from empty womb syndrome by any means, but it's nice to have something else to take care of besides my current 3 monsters and very large dinosaur <3
