Emma's class has been raising ducks, and we had the opportunity to duck-sit over the weekend. It has been really fun, and the kids have had a blast! The challenge has been keeping Desi away from them, and keeping Evan from squishing them when he picks them up. He looooves them, and is eager to help feed and water them. Elsa is actually a little scared of them when they're all crowded up, wandering around the yard. Maybe too many of them at once? She's scared of little dogs, too. Go figure.
They are, I believe, mallards. The brown and yellow splotched ones are the males, and the grey ones are the females.
It's April, say what?

1) It is already April. How this happened I do not know. I will probably
say this again on May 2nd as well. 2) I haven't been writing here. I enjoy
stating...
