We had a really stressful July as a family. The biggest thing was Jake being really sick for two and a half weeks, but we also had a million things break and need to be repaired or (expensively) replaced. There was some silly video Jason showed the kids one night about rubber duckies that they all thought was hilarious, and I thought we could used more of those laughs. So I bought these ducks and hid them. Everyone thought it was so funny, and the ducks moved around for a few days. It didn't last as long as I'd hoped, but I can see it being an inside family joke for years. I sent a couple to school in the kids' backpacks, some to work in Jason's bag, and Jake still loves it when a handful of them magically move around the house.

This is a great idea and who knows...maybe the duckies will make occasional appearances from time to time and refresh the family joke. At any rate, it sure made me smile.
I'm so sorry you've had a hard time! How smart of you to find a fun, upbeat activity!
