Bathrooms and Ducks!

This weekend we had a BLAST! On Saturday I had to work, but came home full of energy early enough that we could go enjoy ourselves that night. We weren't exactly sure what we wanted to do but then it came to me! I called up my friend Liv and invited ourselves over...haha! Well not EXACTLY...she did tell me awhile ago I could come over whenever I felt like it. Her and her husband bought a house sometime this spring/summer and have been doing some awesome renovations. I wanted to see them in person instead of just in pictures, especially their AMAZING bathroom. So we headed over there and had lots of fun visiting. Riley managed to yack on Jeff, himself, and their red carpet in the kitchen. However, Maddie, Liv and Kev's dog, licked it up...GROSS...but I guess he is a good housekeeper lol. Then we played in the living room. Maddie was super excited to jump all over us and play with Riley. It was super funny when she licked Riley's face...he had the BEST reaction and I wish we could have caught it on video. Then Riley chased Maddie around the living room. They had a blast together and it was awesome to see Liv and Kev again...it's been wayyyyyy too long!

On Sunday we had made plans to get together with some other friends! We had Ashlynn and Craig over for dinner. She is another great friend of mine that I don't see nearly enough. Let me tell you, I am now a duck pro! See her husband likes to hunt, especially duck, and since hunting season is upon us I decided to ask him about it. I don't think he knew what he was getting into when he agreed to answer my questions, and my poor husband is embarassed to be married to me. I FREAKED out when I found out Craig has DEAD DUCKS in his freezer. The SAME freezer he keeps his chicken and veggies and stuff in! He wants to stuff them..wierd, a little, I know, but truly interesting as well. He told us how you go about stuffing a duck and WHY in the heck you would want to. We also learned what you wear when duck hunting, what dogs do when they go with you, how to train a dog to duck hunt (It's not like on the Nintendo game..I asked) and many other interesting facts. Did you know you can hunt swan? I thought that was interesting...I asked what you do with it's neck when you stuff it because it is so long...anyway, we won't go into details. But seriously, this is really neat! We had lots of laughs and things I won't get into. I think I am going to be a grouse for Halloween....it's like a chicken that lives in the woods. We'll see :)
