Duckling Edition

Here are three sweet but noisy new babies.
We surprised Becky with them yesterday.
Last night they "slept" in Laura's room. Tonight I believe they'll sleep in the bathroom- with the door closed tightly behind them.
The kids made the indoor pool for them in hopes that they'll sleep well tonight.

Three Little Ducks

I love to watch the ducks swimming in their lake. Isn't this peaceful and relaxing?

Duck Eggs, Anyone?

My littlest entrepreneur hung out her first shingle this weekend.
She's in the duck egg business now; $2 a dozen.
We've got eggs of every shape and size these days. I hope that the two neighbors who can see this sign will get an urge to start buying eggs.

Broken Camera

The camera got squished at our ice skating performance, so we have no way of seeing what we're photographing.
One day soon I hope to get a replacement and start blogging more often. But for now I'm too busy with soccer.
In the top photo, if you look closely you'll see Jemima wearing a soccer cone around her neck. She gets lots of stuff around her neck.
The next photo is when the girls popped them in the rain water containers. They loved it!

More New Creatures on Providence Farm

The girls have been wanting little yellow ducklings for years, and this year seemed especially ripe for ducks, what with the monsoon mimicking weather.
I don't like ducks. They scare me. Especially white ducks. So I made a compromise; they could have ducks if they didn't need to be brooded and they were brown.
Introducing Jemima, Matilda, and Drake, the Mallard family.
See the hackles up on the ladies? I didn't even know ducks had hackles.
