Duck...Duck...Boots!

This weekend Les has an ice fishing tournament and so Eden and I had the day to ourselves.  We started off by cleaning the house.  Eden LOVES to help me with the laundry.  It's probably her favorite chore.

















Then we bundled up and went on a quest to find some birds/ducks to feed.  Eden is pretty much obsessed with the birds of flight.  Les told me about a place that is jammed packed with birds...well, it did not disappoint.  There were MASS amounts of birds/geese/ducks and goats...yes goats.  Eden was loving life.  She just kept squealing and clapping her hands.




































We clearly did not bring enough bread.  I thought a slice or two would tide her over.  Well, we went through our bread in 1.2 seconds.  A man with his little boy was kind enough to split his loaf with us. I can't tell you how many birds were there.  It's was craziness.  Eden was having so much fun and when we ran out of bread she decided to feed them anything she could throw over the fence....like her glove...

















Now we are minus a glove....There was no saving it.  Oh well, she had so much fun it was worth it. After our little adventure we stopped by my cousins house to pick up a sweet present my cousin got for Eden.  She works at The Children's Place and gets GREAT deals.  Well, we lucked out and she grabbed Eden some rain boots....All I can say is that Eden is in LOVE with her boots Nikki got her.  They are a little too big right now, but as soon as we got home she insisted (and by insisted, I mean she screamed BOOTS) until I put them on her.

















I convinced her to take them off so she could take a bath, but you better believe she put them right back on as soon as she was dressed. 

















I've had to try a new tactic when taken Eden's picture.  Every time I tell her to say "cheese" she runs to the fridge in search of cheese...so that didn't work.  I now tell her to show me her teeth and this is what I get... it's a work in progress.

Well, it's cold outside and I wish this winter would go away cuz I'm running out of ideas and this little one needs to be entertained.  Any ideas on what keeps a 1 year old busy...I'm happy to listen!  Happy Weekend.

I am sure little Eden is a handful for you, but she is quite entertaining for the rest of us!
I am so glad she loves the boots, now she just needs a big puddle to jump in.

Smart girl running to the fridge like that. She will be able to fend for herself in troubles times ;) I should have known about this hook up you have. I have been eying this sweater and dress combo there for a while. It is for Anna, but I swear if they had it in my size I would wear it too!

She looks really diappointed in you about the bread. That is hilarious. She is so cute...I love her boots! Crew loves his boots too. It's so funny that little kids love their boots so much. You are a fun momma!
