All Quacked Up

Sunday afternoon Avery went outside to ride in the "red car". It didn't take her two seconds to come back in and let us all know that there were ducks in Max's yard (that is the dog next door). Of course the kids immediately ask for some bread. All I could think about was Gustav making a turn towards Mississippi and we would be out of power and that is all the bread we had. So like a nice mother would do, we sacrificed 4 pieces of bread. The kids thought it was the coolest thing that ducks walked over to their yard. Need less to say, Bryan got a few more pieces of bread later on because after the kids chased them off the first time the crazy ducks came back. Let me tell you, ducks are a poopin' machine. Wherever they walked they pooped. Bryan had to was the garage out.

This morning I went out to take the trash and the ducks were back. This time we gave them crackers. Avery wanted to pretend we lived on a farm. Those ducks were about as bad as a begging dog.

I took Cdawg to C'gates Lake to feed the ducks one time- girl it was scary. Those ducks were like all over us and one BIT Caleb on the arm! I chased that sucker down with the stroller- and from then on was like "Back you freakin' ducks! BACK!". But then we went and got BOPS and Caleb didn't care and now he begs to go see the ducks again :)
