Yesterday Ella, Olivia, and all the boys were out side playing and I was unloading the dishwasher. Ella kept coming in to show me her treasures from the back yard... a seashell, a rock, some grass (yes, she brought in two blades of grass) all these items were dubbed her treasures. Then she came in and told me that there was a baby duck that hatched from an egg in the yard. I was trying to get the kitchen picked up as Abby was due to arrive any moment, so I was only half listening to her. I poo-whoed her and said something like "oh really?" and kept on working. So, Abby comes and I let her in. I show her and the kids to the sliding door and invite McKenna to come and play with all the kids in the yard. Noah comes running up to me "look mommy!" I put out my hand and he flops in a dead baby bird. Ahhhhh. There was the little duck that had just hatched from its egg that Ella had told me about! Nice greeting for Abby and her kids! :)

Next time I better listen more carefully to what she has found in the yard. Last week she told me there was a pile of stinky and she was right. Some nice cat left his treasure behind in the yard. I listened to her then, I guess I was expecting a baby duck in the back yard. :) -(no, it wasn't a duck)
