What a Saturday! I was out back with the girls and Freddy was inside working. All of a sudden, Freddy runs out back and yells that there are ducks in our front yard! Of course I didn't believe him, but went out front anyway! This is what we saw!!! A mama duck and her 10 baby ducklings . . .amazing! Who knows where in the world these ducks came from . . .they were definitely lost and kept roaming the neighborhood . . .
Needless to say, the girls went crazy over the ducks. And, so did Freddy. He ran into the garage and brought out the little pool. He set it out front and tried to lour the ducks back into our yard by feeding them bread. Eventually they came back and got out somehow. Poor duckies . . .I don't know where they ended up. I even tried to call animal rescue, but could not get a hold of anybody! Quite an interesting afternoon! The girls were quite upset when the ducks finally left . . . hopefully they will find their way home.
I had to post this picture of the girls . . .last night was a very rough night. It was one of those nights where the twins would NOT stay in their beds for anything! First they said they had to go potty a million times, then they wanted to be sung to a million times, etc., etc. Finally, they wanted to say "good night" to their big sister. So, I took them into Analisa's bedroom so that they could say "good night" to their big sis. Analisa asked me to please let them stay in her bed . . .at this point, I was ready for the twins to go to bed wherever! Layla and Lily both crawled into bed with Analisa . . .I figured this wouldn't last long so I walked out. The three of them were giggling together for quite a while! I thought I would "let things be" for about 30 minutes or so. After about half an hour, I walked in to Analisa's bedroom, and this is what I saw. It was really soooo cute - my three girls asleep together in one big bed. I let them sleep this way for a while, and then took the twins to their room. It was really very cute. . .will this become a habit???!! I don't think so . . .maybe they just needed to be together for a while. They really are growing up so fast so I have to remember these precious moments!
Why do we ever spend money on expensive toys? We always say that kids end up playing with so many things other than their toys. These pictures prove this to be true! We had left an ice chest outside and the girls asked Analisa to give them rides in the ice chest. They had soooo much fun riding around the yard!! I would have never guessed that my three girls would have so much fun with an ice chest! :)
My friend Megan invited me to the Rascal Flats concert a couple of weeks ago!!! We had the most amazing time!! Jessica Simpson opened for Rascal Flats - crazy! She is truly an airhead! Rascal Flats put on an amazing show! Thank you, Megan, for inviting me out . . .I will never think of paleontologists in quite the same way . . . LOL! Love you tons!
