I have three woohoos today, and here they are!!!

From left to right (and biggest to smallest...) I present Madam Marshmallow VonFluffbutt, Naughty, and Mini Marebear. (Can you tell the kids named them?) I had hoped to get 2 new chicks and 2 ducklings from our usual place, but they were taking FOREVER to get their shipment, and the kids were SO excited, so I caved and we went to a local garden center instead. That was last night, and of course the other place just called to say they got their shipment... it's probably for the best, though, ducks are MESSY, always playing in their water dish. (But my-oh-my, there is something so cute about a duckling in the bathtub!!!)
I really shouldn't have gotten 3, since we still have 2 adults and live in the suburbs, but we had a friend along and I let them each pick out one. Mini Marebear (just Mini for short) is the one that the friend picked out, and she's just TINY, which is hilarious, because Mary, the girl, is super-tall. Madam VonFluffbutt is exactly what she sounds like, the absolute fluffiest one they had, though she'll eventually outgrow that. And Naughty is a breed called Blue Andalusian, but she is actually grey, so we named her after the fake/grey imitation Smurfs from the movies... they looked like smurfs, but they were blue, not grey... and so far, she's living up to her name.
At this age, they love to cuddle. If you pick them up and cradle them in your hands (or a towel in this case, because I've been pooped on enough in the past to learn that lesson...) they will fall right asleep. So CUTE!!! Unfortunately, it only lasts a few days, and before you know it, they are chirpy and hyper and going through their awkward stage, so if I'm hardly on at all for the next few days, that is why... "babies don't keep."
Also, I'll be busy with the REAL children, the non-feathery, less-cute, even MORE noisy and stinky ones... because they have Easter break from Thursday-Monday. So while them being underfoot and bored is not much of a woohoo, I'm looking forward to *NOT* fighting DD15 out of bed at 6am for the next few days!!!
