Watch out for the DUCKS!

Here is a funny one for you guys... My parents for some reason in their elder years have decided they like to have animals. They have had lots of different things like, ducks, geese, turkey, goats, cows, pigs, etc. Anyway, right now they have ducks, geese and a turkey - oh and a cow. My mom says the ducks are either in their fence in the back yard or in the front yard, but when she is home they are always there. Well... these duck apparently know how to "sneak out" because here is a video of my parents ducks that made it on My Space.

Allie is 5

Well... like it or not it has happened. My little girl is now 5. Why does time have to go by so fast? And why does 5 seem so old when you are talking about your own child?

Allie had a fun birthday, she celebrated it many times. She had a little party at school, another little party at home, then her "Super Hero" party at her Granny and Poppy's house. It was a blast. I made the kids shirts and capes and Allie wore her Wonder Woman costume. They played lots of Super Hero vs. Villain games, but I think the hit was getting the villain with the silly string then when they fell, they got wrapped up in toilet paper. It seemed like all the kids had a great time. There was even was a star appearance by the Hulk - which Allie was a little scared of.

We gave Allie her first "American Doll" - shhhh it was actually the knock off at Target because it is much cheaper!!! Anyway, she is very excited to have an American doll with some cool accessories.
