...latest duck fun...

This is what Sawyer was up to last Wednesday after Daddy got home from Duck Hunting...
YES that is a dead duck and YES that is Sawyer holding it by the neck. When Brad left for work that day he had to take the duck with him. Sawyer was soooo mad that he took it she pitched a huge fit with tears and all!

Duck Hunting

As most of you know may Brad has recently become obsessed with duck hunting. Most days you can catch him practicing his duck call when I am trying to have a conversation with him. Or looking up duck hunting videos on You Tube. Naturally Sawyer has also become curious about this new area of Brad's life. Sawyer will sit on Brad's lap while he watches his duck hunting videos and say "Dada that ducky needs a band aid". Or they will practice their duck calls together. Sawyer has her own duck call that she can also practice with.

Brad was working over at the Gutierrez's preparing for the start of duck hunting season a couple weeks ago. He was working with decoys, which for the non-duck hunting folks are fake ducks. Sawyer was loving all the fake ducks and decided to start naming all the ducks. She would label them Dada duck, Mama duck, Lola duck and Mom duck. She even took one duck into the bathroom with her when she needed to use the potty. It was so cute!

Sawyer wiping the ducky! She is so thoughtful ; )

Brad swears that he is going to have her hunting in the duck blinds next year...he is duck dreaming!!

Halloween 2011

Sawyer was very excited for Halloween. No not for the candy, but because she was going to be a Lady Bug. We didn't actually explain what trick or treating was until Halloween morning. This is how the conversation went:

Mama: Sawyer tonight we are going to go trick or treating at Grandma's house. We are going to knock on people's front doors and they will give you candy when you say trick or treat. Then you say thank you. Let's practice. Knock, knock... then they open the door. You say...

Sawyer: tick or treat

Mama: Then they give you candy and you say...

Sawyer: Tank you!

Mama: Good job poopy!

Later that morning in the car I over heard this conversation Sawyer was having with herself...

Sawyer: You knock, knock. They open the door. Tick or treat. Candy. Tank you!

It was pretty funny to overhear her rehearsing how to trick or treat. I am constantly reminded how sweet little children are. Here are a couple photos from the night. Sorry for the poor quality of some.

Sawyer made treats for her friends at daycare (Mrs. Diana's house)
