Lily's World: November 2007

Two little ducks went out one day...

Well, I rang the RSPCA yesterday and it turns out that our ducklings wandered to the next street over! They were found by some nice soul who dropped them to the RSPCA. So they are home again! Daddy & Lily strengthened the "duck run" they escaped from!

Most short-lived pets ever

Well, we have a sad story to share.

On Sunday, we went for a drive out to Laidley to visit Mark, Kaylene & family. Thanks to my dodgy directions, we got lost - the one hour drive ended up taking THREE! But while we were lost, we stumbled onto a muscovy duck farm. Krissy used to have one as a pet, so we bought two for Lily.

What they would like look when they're older:

Lily & ducks all passed out on the way home.

Lily came up with lots of names for them, but none seemed to stick! First they were Melon & Bertie, then both were called Alison, and then they were Miriam & Pony.

We made a makeshift "duck run" for them using our vegie patch, lots of chicken wire & corrugated iron. Lily & I went out for the morning yesterday and when we got home - less than 24 hours since we'd brought them home - they had ESCAPED!! Out of the pen and out of our yard.

We've walked around the neighbourhood, quacking loudly, to no avail. Today we're going to drop some "Ducks Missing" leaflets and check with the RSPCA if someone has handed them in.

But our ducklings may have floated off down the river, or worse... :-(

We might just stick to fish.

Mari's party

Lily & Jack went to Mari's birthday on the weekend.

Mari had the coolest cake!

First day of new Kindy room

So she isn't moving up a class at kindy (with new teachers) in the same month as her brother or sister is born, Lily was able to move up with Jack from the Toddler to the Kindy room in the last few weeks. This was there first day there together - they're pretty happy!!
