60 degrees F and higher counts as summer. Some years we get 2 days... some years 2 weeks.

Good on you having the children take part and be responsible. Too many kids sit inside on a phone and don't get hands-on experience like that. No one bothers. I don't know where I would be today if my Grandmother didn't lovingly, but sternly, teach me to go outside and work. Best wishes for Mocha, and waiting anxiously to see how she does around Saturday!

when the kids were little I took them down to Texas for Christmas.
I took then to a park.. and my kids, I think 2, 4, and 6 were in shorts and took off their shoes... they were playing hard so got hot. .. and it was probably 58! I was worried the other parents there were going to call the cops on me... their kids were all in snow suits etc

that is one huge reason I have animals. .. I think kids need lots of chores, and they need to be responsible.Good on you having the children take part and be responsible.

My big thing is everyone needs to learn how to respond after a big fail.... give them stuff as kids that they can fail at, and succeed at.... gives them the skills to have an excellent life!

misread the calender... Mocha is due Wed. not this Sat ... 
silly me.
Chicks are hatching .... well, one hatched last night... super peeping and lonely. .. but it has a bit of a hernia... not clear to me how serious the hernia is or not... so I am 50/50 as to if it will make it long term.
Only one egg so far has a big pip... and looks a bit bloody at the pip.

Oh man I came on today to see how Mocha was @Alaskan! I was looking forward to seeing some baby photos 
Wishing you better luck/success with your hatches. As for having animals to have them involved with your children and teach them about life, failure, success, hard work, and so on...as I said, good on you! No little ones here yet, but I do have a firm belief that the world needs more kind-hearted, hard-working children with morals and manners in order to help counter some of the bad out there, and maybe be a good influence on others.
