Have you passed out yet????
HAHAHA- not human triplets! –DUCKS!
For Easter my brother gave the girls ducks! What seemed like a harmless adventure, an educational experience and just plain fun for the girls has tuned into a lot of work for dear ole’ mom. These cute little critters are actually fluffy pooping machines. The girls named the new additions to our family: fluffy, Laine, and Sarah Grace.Since the ducks have arrived we have had a few mishaps.
The first being on the day of Brennan’s 9 month check up- yes that’s right I said 9 month. It is just so sad she is growing so fast. Anyways, while I was dressing Brennan, Bree and Blythe were letting their ducks out of the cage. This unfortunate event led to our late arrival at Dr. Garrett’s office. Leave it to the Walls’ crew to through off the good doctor’s schedule. I’m just glad their wasn’t anyone at home to enjoy watching me chase ducks in the driveway- an event I am sure was worthy of deep belly laughs!
The second unfortunate event involving the ducks nearly ended in tragedy. Aunt Astona wanted to see if they could swim so Ryan filled up a bucket in the yard and the girls and my nephew watched the ducks swim. When the ducks looked good and water logged we pulled them out an
d then…
Sarah Grace fell over. I screamed, “Ryan you killed the duck, get a towel”. Oh crap- her feet stick straight out and she goes stiff! Lord have mercy- we are about to have a ducky funeral! There are bubbles coming out of the nostrils on her beak. All I could think is- how am I supposed to explain this to the girls who are watching wide
eyed!
After lots of towel time and the warmth of her sisters, fluffy and Laine, Sarah Grace thawed out and was back to her old self by the next morning.
Since that terrifying night the ducks have had no swim time and Ryan and I are eagerly waiting for their feathers
to turn white so we can take them back to my brother. He lives at Lake Hartwell and the ducks will be making the lake their permanent residence as well.

Oh my gosh, that is hilarious! So glad Sarah Jane is ok. That would have been tragic!
