Animal farm!

So let me tell you about last Monday! Robby just got back on the job Sunday night, so my plan was to get up with the kids in the morning and get them out of the house and go work in my classroom so Robby could sleep. Well you know what they say about the best laid plans.... so here is how the day started... Both girls are dressed and beds are made, I go into my room to start getting myself ready and I locked the bedroom door behind me.. why you ask? because my girls will come in screaming and talking and wake up their daddy... so anyway as I am getting ready I hear a knock on the bedroom door... now I have to admit I was frustrated that someone was knocking on the door with Robby in bed trying to sleep so I go over and open the door with a grumpy look on my face to find my 6 year old standing there holding up her hand with some sort of worm thing in it! She looks at me and says "mom, I found this in the guinea pig cage!" That was all it took to wake Robby up he sits up in bed as I walk Bekah over to him to see if he can tell what it is.. because I dont have a clue!! Thats when he announced that Bekah was holding a maggott! YES a MAGGOTT!!!!!!! I freaked, of course made Bekah wash her hands and went to get the cage to clean it out, yet again. Now I am sure you are thinking the cage had to have been filthy to have a maggot in it, it did need to be changed but it wasnt that bad, but we have had a massive amount of flies coming into our house lately with the kids going in and out. So now that I have made that excuse! I told Bekah to grab a trash bag and head out side so we can scrub the cage, as soon as she opened the door... out ran the dog! Needless to say my morning is not going well, so Bekah and I chase libby around the neighborhood, and I finally got her to follow me into the house, in all of the craziness Robby was woken up yet again! Now we are finally able to get started cleaning out the cage, the dog is back in the house, the maggot is down the drain, and the guinea pigs are in the living room in the top part of the cage! Bekah and I worked together and scrubbed out the cage and then Bekah began to dry it with paper towels, while she was working on that I gathered up the trash to take to the curb. I took a couple of trips out to the curb with the trash and Bekah had gone back inside to pet the guinea pigs while she waited on me to help put the cage back together. On my 3rd trash trip I turn to come back up the driveway and as I am nearing the garage and I look down and there is a duck, yes a duck in my garage! Right at the entrance to the garage from the driveway! I call Robby, who is still up, and I dont think he believed me at first then he and Bekah came to the door to see the duck!! I will post pics soon! we watched for at least 30min as the duck sniffed around the yard and just waddled around like it owned the place! It was the most bizarre morning of my life!
