Two little friends.

Yesterday these two little visitors showed up to our surprise. They were fed until they were about to pop, which I assume is why they returned again today! I'm not sure what it is about these creatures but I sure love ducks. I think it's just their cute little innocent bodies waddling around, so toddler like. I mean really, what kind of mischief can a duck get into? At least not any mischief compared to what my dogs did a couple of days ago. I'll give you two hints: 1. pigeon coop 2. hungry dogs (need I say more?) Anyways, back to the adorable ducks. Crew had so much fun feeding and watching them that he even decided to add the word duck to his very small vocabulary, which was so exciting for the rest of us.
We had two little ducks come every day for several months a few years ago that continued for a couple of years in a row until one year they never returned. My kids thought it was so funny that they would come day after day and year after year. There would be days that the two ducks would be sitting on my doorstep waiting for their food. My kids are determined that these are the same two ducks that used to come.
Crew kept looking out the window today to see if they were out there. I had a feeling they would show up sometime and sure enough. Again we fed them until they were about to pop. And then they went on their merry way until tomorrow I assume.
I think we need to name them. See you tomorrow little friends.
Life is sweet.

We found the same ducks in our yard Sunday night! My kids were sad they didn't get to see them, but now that we know where their new hangout is, maybe we'll visit, too! :)
