Love is....

A back scratch on the way to the park.

I caught them snuggling on the couch together that night too.  Finn had his head on Olivia's shoulder and Liv had her arm around Finn.  As soon as they saw me looking at them they quickly moved and started to bicker at each other.

Baby Ducks!

We went to the John Deere Commons last week to see the baby ducks hatch just in time for Easter weekend.

I thought this would be such a fun event for the kids.  I have to admit, I was pretty excited for it myself.

I packed the kids up on Thursday morning, in the rain, by myself to venture down to the Pavilion.  On any other day I would never have the courage to take both monsters down there by myself.  They LOVE that place.  They also LOVE to go in different directions at warp speed.

However, I thought, for some reason, this day would be different.

I. Was. Wrong.

The kids could not have been less interested in the ducks.  All they wanted to do was run through the crowded building and climb on every machine possible.

I was able to sneak a few pictures of the baby ducks as I was running by.

The duckling that is closest to the camera actually hatched while we were there.  Again, we missed it.

Maybe next year.
