Turtleducks and May Day Otter Pops

A few new funny stories from the ever-so-enteraining Finch children:

A couple of days ago, we were enjoying nice spring weather and went out for a walk around the block. At some point, we noticed a couple of ducks wandering through a neighbor's yard. While we had been watching and talking about the ducks with the kids for a little while, apparently Lizzy hadn't been paying much attention. Suddenly, she pipes up "Turtles! Mama! Look! There's two turtles!" She was pointing to the ducks. Apparently we have some wildlife training to do with our two-year-old.

Story number two... In school last week Adam had made a May Day basket and was wanting to deliver it to someone on May Day (today). Well, we hadn't really gotten anything ready to put in the basket and by the time we got home from church and had dinner and he realized that May Day was almost over, it was kind of too late to gather flowers or bake cookies or anything. So after we thought about it for a little bit, we figured it would be best if we waited and did something tomorrow and delivered the basket a day late. Well, Adam wasn't too keen on that idea - and after a few minutes it becamme apparent that if he couldn't deliver the May Day basket on May Day that it would damage him forever. So, like a good mom, Tammy put on her thinking cap. To make a long story short our neighbors got a May Day basket full of Otter Pops. The bad part is, they weren't home at the time. Otter Pops can be refrozen, right?
