Yesterday afternoon I came home from shopping with some friends to find my two sisters in the living room setting up our old incubator and putting 18 duck eggs inside of it!! The nephew of a couple in our church found the eggs in his flower box and didn't want them, so we got them! We used to raise ducks years ago, but the last time we attempted it ended in disaster. They were big enough to place outside, so we set up a cage like we had done before, but the next morning we woke up to find 5 out of 6 had disappeared and the 6th and smallest one was dead.
So after that we couldn't even find the will to look for more eggs and dropped the yearly ordeal. But now We have 18, so hopefully at least 6 will hatch and we can once again be mommas!! I was informed by my sisters that all of them are going to have Star Wars names. I love Star Wars...but not sure how I feel about naming ducks after them...
So it's Saturday and I'm going to start and end the day with a party!! Don't worry, nothing bad. Just ones for some of my kids from work! I love being invited to their parties!
Anyway, the first one is over and the second one is at 6, and I still have some things I have to do today so pip-pip cherrio for now!
