Two ducks
The first is this duck. Ming Ming Duckling from The Wonder Pets, to be exact.
The Monkey is behind me now, correcting her father that this is Ming Ming, NOT Linny the guinea pig.
She can recite every word from the Save the Elephant episode. Thank goodness for the videos on Nick, Jr. because that is how this mother takes showers every day.
And Ming Ming is her absolute favorite of all times.
The second is a gosh-forsaken duck (probably a chicken ... but cut me some slack; I need a theme) dressed up as a pumpkin that plays first the Death March (yes, the DEATH MARCH) and then moves into the Chicken Dance, all the while the thing walks around my house, enthralling and entertaining the Monkey with its ear-splitting loud music.
And guess who gave THAT to the Monkey this weekend? You got it. My mother in law. The toy will more than likely have a terrible accident down the basement stairs. Sometime today.

I'm a mom of three peeps ... Queen Bee, The Door Man, and the Chandelier Monkey, and wife to Ace, the Helpful Hardware Man. I created this space to get away from the people known as my inlaws, and because life with three kids and a hubby is all Unexplored Territory.
The nine-year-old who seems to be growing older every minute, has an opinion and a comment for everything, and has a true servant's heart.
The seven-year-old who loves the organization of things, will someday be someone's therapist because of his kind soul, and will more than likely be living with us until he is 40 years old.
The five-year-old with the 13-year-old attitude, who has a dictator's personality, asks you to watch her all the time and say "hold on" to keep your attention, and will someday come home on the back of some dude's motorcycle with 10 tatts and a body piercing or two.
The man of the house, the fixer of things, the winner of prizes, and the only person in his family to escape the South.

Bwahaha!
OMG, I remember THOSE days. Can I just say how thankful I am that exhole's (ex-husband's) family (read MOTHER) doesn't buy the kids gifts much anymore. I am so thankful.
I am also thankful that my mother learned her lesson the time she bought Dreaded Teenager a locomotive that spun in circles, chugged and tooted its horn at ear-splitting decibels...and I promptly sent if over to her house with him one day when she babysat.
Bwahahahahaha!
There is a Cookie Monster saxophone ... I know I blogged about it a while ago. That is the one gift that I thought my MIL would NEVER be able to top in her evil gift-giving. I was proven wrong. Even Ace looked at his mom after the chicken was set off over the weekend for the 10th time and said "gee... THANKS, mom!"
You know another annoying toy? Well, it is actually a game. Chicken Limbo. Ugh.
Is the chicken a dead duck by now?
The chicken is actually sitting here on my desk right now ... I am thinking about packaging it back up and shipping it back to my MIL.
Hey girlie girl..I'm back! I thought of you when I saw the big Florence Y'all water tower. Even stopped off to get a Starbucks there. Loved the ville...I bet you had a lot of good times there. I would have loved to explore it more, especially with a "native"...
maybe we could take a road trip someday...
We have many noisy toys here..I try to hide them at random or throw them away while children are napping..
"mommy have you seen my accordian?" umm..no...maybe one of the P... children took that last friday night..
ha ha ha
