We just got done watching the new Star Trek movie. Wow! Great visual effects, cg? music, and fight scenes! I love how the plot played out and getting to know how the characters developed! I highly suggest seeing it!

Monday I moved the birds to the garage. The poor ducks were getting too big for their container in the office. You should have seen the ducks in their new pen! At first they weren't sure what to do. Then they started running around in circles! It was comical to see them trying to run with their awkward little legs. I will post a better picture later.

Like the color?

I got a pedicure today. It was part of my Christmas gift from Nick. Chris helped him purchasing it for me. It was awesome! I think I'm hooked. I decided to get purple; it's Chris's favorite color. Sorry Nick, they didn't have blue.

I've signed up to blog from my phone. I can now blog on the go!

The Babies Have Doubled in Size!

We've had the birds for seven days now, and they truly have doubled in size. The ducks used to fit in the palm of my hand and now they are spilling over! We have to get the coop built soon. The ducks are almost too big for their container, so next weekend, we will move the birds to the garage.

We have several exercise pens (x-pens) that we use for the dogs when we go to dog shows or for separating them in the yard. Wednesday, I was feeling bad for the ducks and wanted to give them so space to run around, so I decide to set up an x-pen in the room. I laid garbage bags on top of the mat on the floor then set up the pen in a circle on top of the bags.

I thought that the ducks were too big to fit through the bars of the x-pens. Well, I was wrong, partly. After I put the ducks in the x-pen, all three of them made their way straight to the edge of the x-pen and proceeded to go through the spaces between the bars. They got their head, neck, and wings through, but couldn't get their fat little bodies through. They couldn't go forward, then they couldn't back out because of their wings! I was in a bit of a panic worried that they were going to break their wings.

Thank God Nick was in the room with me. I yelled to him to help and he rushed to the outside of the x-pen and helped me wiggle them all back in the pen. We would get one out, then proceed to get the next, and the previous one would go back to the edge of the x-pen and try to get out and get stuck again! We finally got all three away from the edge, and I scooped them all up to put them back in their container. I had them almost there when one duck started squirming, and I dropped her!

Thankfully, she was only about four inches above the floor when she fell, but the dumb duck ran into the open x-pen (instead of going around it) and tried to get through the bars again! She is officially labeled the "special one."

They are keeping us entertained!

Till next time.
