Chicks are 2 weeks

Every time I take pics of the chicks I am so amazed at how fast they grow and change. I am so glad that the kids don't grow this fast!!!

1 week old

I find it very amazing how fast the chicks are growing.

They are clearly larger and are growing their first feathers.

By the second day you could start to see the starts of feathers on the wings.

P.S. We have 5 chicks, but I only liked these pics.

Popsicles

I have always wanted a great popsicle mold, and the other day I found one at Bed Bath and Beyond. The kids and I had fun making our own flavor. This one was root beer. It was yummy, but VERY messy! All the girls had to change afterward. I just stripped Lexi down before I gave it to her.

Root Beer Popsicles

1 cup sugar

3 cups hot water

1 tablespoon McCormick® Root Beer Concentrate

1 teaspoon McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract

1 teaspoon lemon juice

I put all of the ingredients in the blender for a few seconds. Not sure why but they turned out with the best almost creamy texture. YUMMY!!!!

Chicks First Portraits

I only took pics of the first 4, but you get the idea.

They are really cute!!!

And really small!!!

Hatching Chicks

Last Wednesday is when most of the chicks hatched, but I am just getting to the pics.

It was quite easy and not too time consuming to do.

It was really fascinating to watch them all hatch.

I love letting the kids see where chicks come from.

I would recommend this to anyone.
