What is with all the peanut free candy?

My daughter is dressed up as a ladybug for her second Halloween. I love Halloween and often have a party. I am so excited to have a daughter so that we can go Trick or Treating again. I went until I was 13. Last year we went to a pumpkin patch in BC and picked out a whole bunch of pumpkins. Pumpkin seeds taste great when they are roasted and sprinkled in cayenne or black sea salt.

Duck-O-Lantern Ducky hatched on October 31st of course. She has the nice pumpkin grooves and ridges in her bottom and a great big green stem on the top of her head. Her beak is black and so are her carved crescent eyes. She has a kerosene lantern on her bum.

Poem on her tag:

"It's Halloween once again -
Trick or Treats for everyone.
It's Halloween once again -
Carving the pumpkin
is all the fun!"

Price: $1.98 Cdn each so almost $12.00 for the set

We're posed on a black tea kettle cauldron.

I bought these duckies while I was on vacation in Victoria. They are from my favourite ducky store. I was a bit shocked by the price of these duckies because they are quite tiny but they still cost the same amount as the larger duckies. I think they should have been a $1.00 a piece or $1.25 at the most.

The witch ducky is my favourite in this set. I was a witch for Halloween quite a few years in a row. My mom went as "Bitchy" one year and made a pin that said this. The witch ducky has a black perfectly pointy hat and is wearing a purple cape too. The Kitty Ducky has black ears with a pink inset. There are three little whiskers on either side of her beak. The Ghost Ducky should have had a longer costume because the ghost mask only covers his head and it makes his mask look a bit KKK.

The Mummy Ducky is well done with his random white strips of toilet paper wrapped haphazardly around him. Frankenstein Ducky has the perfect Frankenstein hair with electrodes protruding from his neck and stitch marks above his heart too. The last duck in the set (I just had to have them all) is Vampire Ducky. He has puffy count hair with an "m" shaped hairline. He is wearing a red cape and you can see his vampire fangs sticking out at the bottom of his beak.

People say we look like Edward and Bella.

Since we get to live forever, we know the meaning of true love. Therefore, we work as marriage counsellors. If things really aren't working out for our clients and they still insist on getting divorced then we put them out of their misery by disposing of them while still satisfying our hunger for blood.

The male vampire ducky has a spiky mop of milk chocolate brown hair cut at different angles. He updates his style quite often to stay trendy and up to date. He is wearing a black collared dress shirt. His two top fangs are showing and his tongue is red from a fresh slurp of blood.

The female vampire ducky is dressed old fashioned in a red blouse with a grey furry collar. Her top fangs are also showing and she has a red tongue. She has orange curly hair that is as orange as her beak.

I am a good witch.

I am a witch all year long but I tend to fit in best around Halloween. What kind of spell do you prefer? I only cast positive spells. I have helped people fall in love and I have gotten people all sorts of raises and promotions too.

The best feature that Witch Ducky has is the wart on the left of her beak. She has blue eyes and green hair (permanently green from a spell that she cast). She is wearing a blue dress with a black cape and a navy and black hat that curves to the left.

“Bathe at your own risk.”

A few weeks ago in this blog post, I was saying that I haven’t gone on a girls’ road trip for a while. Today, I am in Canmore for one night and two days enjoying a girls’ weekend with four other friends. I will also be doing a photo shoot of my winter rubber duckies for future blog posts.

Night of the Living Duckies is a set of 4 rubber ducks and a Halloween book about the ducks. These ducks are my favourite Halloween ducks. Each ducky is about 1 inch tall. Wolfy ducky is the star of the book. He is on the far right in the photo. He is a were-ducky and is quite fierce looking, but if you read the book you would see that he is actually a scaredy-cat. Wolfy is my daughter’s favourite ducky out of the set.

Franco (closest to the book in the photo) is my favourite. He is a green Frankenstein ducky but everyone calls him Franco for short. He has stitches on his left wing, cheek and left side of his beak. Mummy on the far left of the photo is your basic mummy but he has a dark black eerie shadow coming out of his mask by his eyes. Draco is the vampire ducky and he is sitting between Wolfy and Franco in the photo. He is wearing a black and red cape and has two fangs protruding from his beak.

Zombie Duckies from Victoria

Name: Zombie Duckies

Interests: Watching the Walking Dead and reading the comic.

Brand: Oriental Trading Company
Price: $2.00 Cdn each

Shuffle, shuffle.

If you’ve ever watched the Walking Dead TV show then you know that these duckies don’t look anything like those zombies. I have never been fan of the zombie genre, but I don’t mind the TV show. Just for the record. I do not believe there will never be a zombie apocalypse. I always joke with my husband and say yes, I am sure there will be a zombie acropolis.

The blue collar office worker zombie ducky has a bone in his mouth and is still dressed in his torn suite. Once, someone tried to cure him of his zombie illness (hence the comb over). The bone is his mouth is leftover from the last person he ate. He is using it as a toothpick. The other zombie duck is dead (although all zombies are) and has a blue tongue and a green beak. His cousin is dead duck.

Pumpkin Ducky from Old Navy

Where to Find: Old Navy

Carve me.

I am not sure if they still have them but a few years ago, Old Navy had seasonal rubber ducks. Pumpkin Ducky says 2007 on the bottom. I bought their Halloween and Christmas duckies. We carved our pumpkin tonight and for the past few years we have carved it into the shape of a rubber ducky, but we decided to go more basic this year.

Pumpkin Ducky is all green except for his orange Halloween costume. Every year he carves a fresh pumpkin and wears it as his costume. He loves the smell of pumpkin but sometimes Halloween party attendees get annoyed by his smell. You'll want to go trick or treating at his house because he gives out full size chocolate bars and full size bags of chips.

Mad Scientist and Vampire Duckies

Experiment

It’s a little odd that these three vampires all have horns on their heads. I am confused by this. I have never seen a vampire with horns. The girl vampire has the blue hair, blue polka dots on her wings, pink horns and is wearing the pink sleeveless shirt. The green haired vampire ducky with the green spots on his wings and brown shirt and horns is her brother. Their uncle is the balding mad scientist ducky holding the flashlight. He does all his work in the dark. The cool Danny Zuko looking vampire ducky in the black leather jacket with the brown hair is the blue haired vampire’s boyfriend. 

They are a tight knit family and like to scare kids on Halloween night. Every year, they volunteer at the haunted house in their neighbourhood. They all have a bit of a clearish greenish glow to them and that is because they all glow in the dark too.

Bad Witch Ducky

Name: Bad Witch Ducky
Interests: Practising voodoo. My best friend is a ghost.
Where to Find: Don't Remember
Brand: Unknown
Price: $2.00 Cdn

Don't cross me.

Just for the record my best friend is not Casper. He is a ghost who is as mean, grumpy, fat and old as I am. I look nice from the outside but looks can be deceiving. I have been practising voodoo and black magic for many years-same thing? Don't Trick or Treat at my house. I hand out questionable popcorn.

With Halloween just around the corner, I am happy to present just over an entire week of Halloween rubber ducks. The broom tucked under Bad Witch Ducky's left wing doesn't really look like a broom. It is puffy like a pillow and has weird black circles on it. It might be used for her voodoo or black magic.

Shiny Knight Duckies

Interests: Riding white horses and protecting the king and queen.
Where to Find: Caselotbuys on ebay and WEM vending machine
Brand: Oriental Trading Company

Join us at the round table.

These two Shiny Night Ducks are exactly the same except that one is a shinier than the other. The ducky on the left came with the Fairy Tale ducky set that I ordered off ebay. He is a dark grey. The ducky on the right is a shiny silver Knight and he came from the vending machine at WEM. I am wondering if he is a rare ducky. In some duck collections a gold or silver ducky is hard to come by.

This style of ducks squirt water from their mouths, but they do not float straight up in the tub.

Dragon Ducky from eBay

Name: Dragon Ducky
Interests: Dragon movies: Eragon, Puff the Magic Dragon, How to Train a Dragon, etc. Roasting marshmallows with my fiery breath and taking other ducks for a ride on my back.

Sing with me “puff the magic...”

I like motorcycles. I have even made one fly before while I was breathing fire at the exact same time too. Almost everyone likes me and I am friends with a knight, a king, a queen a horse and a hooded fairy. Apparently with all my friends, I am part of a fairy tale ducky set. However, dragons are real. I am real. I don’t just exist in fairy tales.

Liberduck Rubba Duck from Kids Stuff

Where to Find: Kids Stuff and my Favourite Aunt’s
Brand: Rubba Duck
Price: $2.00 Cdn 

I look smaller close up.

I have been to New York but it was only for two days and one night (because I was in Washington for work and it was only a 3 hour bus ride away). I did see the Empire state building and the Statue of Liberty. Lady Liberty really does look smaller closer up. We also went shopping and had time for a quick stroll through Century Park and a quick drive through on the way to the airport.

Liberduck Ducky was hatched on July 04 (which is very appropriate). She has the Statue of Liberty torch on her bum. She has green eyes and a green body, dress and beak. Unfortunately she did not come with her box or her tag, so I can’t include the Rubba Duck poem. If you know the poem, please send it to me (it wasn’t available online).

Partial Ducky Safari Set from WEM

Interests: Watching people watch us animals. The Safari leader is a huge fan of Curious George.
Where to Find: Toy machine at West Edmonton mall (in Galaxyland)
Brand: Oriental Trading Company
Price: $2.00 Cdn each ($6.00 total)

Animals are as fascinated by people as people are by them. 

The complete Safari Ducky set also includes a tiger, zebra, and lion. I am not a huge fan of rubber ducks that look like animals so I don’t have the complete set. I received these ducks from the machine by random chance. The Safari leader ducky is wearing a great safari hat and an Indian Jones dress shirt. The monkey ducky is holding a banana and the elephant isn’t holding anything but he may squirt you with water

During our next around the world trip, we are planning to go on an African safari.

Interests: To be a famous make-up artist and watching “What not to wear.”
Where to Find: Zydeco Gifts, Victoria, BC

Pucker up!

Carmindy from “What not to wear” is my idol. I would love her job and have always wanted to be a famous make-up artist. At the moment I do make-up for plays, but I want to do make-up for actors and actresses.

My tips are that mascara can be a real eye opener and foundation is a must when you are tired. My favourite colour of lipstick is positively pink (I am wearing it right now) and smoky eyes and mauve eye shadow are a must for this fall.

Ducky Family from Greenwoods' Bookshoppe

Where to Find: Greenwoods' Bookshoppe (unfortunately no longer in business)
Brand: ambi toys

Basking in the sun.

It’s really too bad that Greenwoods' is no longer in business. However, I’m sure it’s tough for independent bookstores to survive with the chain bookstores and online shopping. My husband’s uncle worked at Greenwoods' and my daughter loved playing the in the kids area of the store.

My daughter’s grandparents bought her the Ducky family. They are primary colours and all the baby ducks fit inside the mommy. They all have blue heads, but the baby ducks don’t have distinct red eyes like the mom’s. Their heads turn but they are really difficult to turn.

Just like a mouse, I can squeeze into tiny places.

I took this picture a while ago (when my daughter was only a month old). Mini Green Ducky fit into a tiny pocket on her sleeper and I took the picture while she was sleeping. Since he is so tiny he is always looking up at people. Mini Green Ducky has a red beak with a yellow inside. He is army green and was once a spy (but that is supposed to be a secret).

Chew me! (the duck, not my daughter)

Slobber, slobber chomp, chomp. She seems to enjoy chewing on my head and tail best. I can feel the warm drool dripping through my veins. Her 6th tooth is popping up through her top gums on the right. It’s quite sharp, but I am happy to help babies relieve their teething pain.

Scrub, scrub. Pop. I have been opened up so the drool is being washed out of my insides. Rinse and ahhh I have been left to air dry on the tea towel. I will sleep here for the night and begin my routine again tomorrow.

 I love my cat!

Oh Rhett! 

Scarlett O'Hara Ducky could also be flapper girl ducky since I purchased her from the 1920s ducky bin. She reminds me of a tango dancer. She is an excellent dancer and is often the life of the party. I enjoyed reading Gone with the Wind. It is a great story but has a sad ending that is not your typical romance ending. I have an antique hard copy edition in my collection of old books.

Scarlett O'Hara Ducky has her hair in an updo with a real red rose in her bun. A few curly tendrils tickle her face. She is wearing a beautiful red and black gown and the feathers on her wings were recently ruffled.

I am part of the rain chain.

African Ducky is part of a set of around the world ducks. There is also a Scotsmen and a Geisha. I am calling this ducky African Ducky because of his clothing but I could be completely wrong. He is wearing a purple kofia hat with an orange and green stripe which matches the rest of his dashiki.

I have always wanted to visit Africa as part of a volunteer vacation. I thought it would be neat to go to Zimbabwe. We are planning to volunteer in Africa during our 2019 trip around the world.

There is a world outside my plastic bubble!

Oh no, the plastic bubble in front of me just went down the shoot! Good Luck Ducky probably just plummeted to his death. Wait a minute. I am next in line for the shoot. Now it’s dark. No duckies plummet down the shoot when it’s dark.

What is that sound? “Ahh I am falling help me. Noooooo.” Wait I am still alive. What is this place. I smell popcorn and pretzels and I haven’t eaten in forever. My plastic bubble is opening. I can move. I am free.

“Tuxedo Ducky! I am so lucky that with one toonie I received the second last ducky in the set. Now I just need the Dracula Ducky. Does anyone have it? Does anyone want to trade?”

Who is this man and this woman? My owners I guess. Ahh plush red seats in a movie theatre. Taken 2. Good choice.I have wanted to see this movie for a while. It should be a good night.

Ducktoberfest Ducky from Online

Name: Share the Spirit Ducktoberfest
Interests: Eating schnitzel and drinking beer.
Where to Find: www.rubbaducks.com (no longer in business)
Brand: Rubba Duck
Price: $15.00 Cdn

I love pretzels!

If you’ve never been to Octoberfest, I highly recommend travelling to Munich, Germany to experience the festivities. You must also get a seat at a table in one of the tents, so you can experience the song, dance and cheering. While we were in Munich for Octoberfest 2009, we met up with a couchsurfing group and shared a table with the group. I wish we would have dressed up but with our trip around the world we would have had to have had the costume with us or would have had to leave it in Germany. We still had a great time but would have felt a bit more festive if we had the dress too. After our night of drinking, we went out for the best German brunch the next day. It was one of my favourite breakfasts on our trip.

Ducktoberfest was hatched on October 03 and he is wearing lederhosen (the traditional male dress for Octoberfest complete with suspenders). He is also wearing a robin hood style hat. He has old pint glass of beer on his bum. The mug looks like it is fit for a king to drink out of it because it has a silver top on it. It looks medieval.

Ducktoberfest Ducky is still feeling the affects of the seven 1 litre pints of beer that he consumed today, so he is walking off his buzz around the playground. Octoberfest is over for 2012 but he is practising his beer drinking for 2013.

Poem on his tag:

“Where’s your lederhosen
and your liter of cheer?
We’re celebrating the Wies’n [short for Octoberfest]
it only happens once a year.

With international flavor
and harvest festival fun
this German tradition
needs to be heard and sung.”

Duckvaria Ducky from Online

Where to Find: www.rubbaducks.com (no longer in business)
Brand: Rubba Duck
Price: $15.00 Cdn

I love Ducktoberfest cookies!

Duckvaria was hatched on October 01. I missed getting her posted right on her birthday, but she doesn’t mind. She is dressed in a classic Ducktoberfest outfit called a Dirndl -complete with the cleavage revealing blouse with the puffed sleeves. She has a traditional Ducktoberfest cookie on her bum that she baked and it says: “Ducktoberfest Munchen” (Munich). I ate a heart shaped cookie at Octoberfest and they are not sweet, so they are nice. However, the pretzels were my favourite.

Duckvaria is quite the flirt. She bats her eyelashes and all the duck boys stand in line for a chance to speak to her. She has sunken cheeks and the poise of her beak makes you think she is about to speak. She isn't just pretty; she is intelligent too.

Poem on her tag:

"O’zapft is!
Let the Wiesn begin -
a venue of choices,
under the big hop tents.
It’s a parade all around
to see and be seen,
merry making at it’s best.

Carry on, Duckvaria -
embracing tradition,
with your gingerbread heart."

I have a green thumb!

I officially pulled the last few green onions from our garden today. We planted carrots, green beans, potatoes, lettuce and green onions and received quite a nice yield.

Water, prune, trim, repeat. Gardener Ducky is a horticulturist. He owns his own greenhouse and garden center and also teaches classes at the local university. When he retires, he plans on being a farmer. He loves growing tomatoes and red chili peppers.

Gardener Ducky is holding his favourite tools - an orange watering can in his right wing and a shovel and rake in his left. He is also wearing his gardening clothes - overalls because they have many pockets for all his tools. He has blue eyes, brown eyebrows and has a constipated smile spreading across his face.

Pillow Fight!

I remember when I had my summer sleepover pajama party to transition from grade 6 to 7 and I had 4 friends sleepover. We watched "Sleeping with the Enemy and Arachnophobia" -check spelling. I have since done a few girls road trips with three of my friends and we are doing another one at the end of this month. It's nice to stay up late in your pajamas and chit chat over drinks.

The ducky holding the popcorn is a little bit overweight. She is rather stocky and is wearing turquoise pajamas that have two purple daisies on the back. She also has pigtails in her mousey brown hair. The ducky with the blond pigtails is a bit overweight (it is rather rare to see an overweight ducky). She is wearing pink pajamas that are a similar style to her friend’s because they have orange flowers on the bum. She is cuddling her favourite stuffed animal, a grey teddy named Moon. I had a hard time figuring out what the ducky with the black hair is holding. It might be pop but I think it is a pillow and she is getting ready for a pillow fight. She has mauve flowers on the back of her pajamas.

The last ducky at the sleepover does not have pajamas that match her friends’. She is wearing pajamas that are a bit on the French maid side. Her blue nightie has white frilly sleeves and a white skirt. She is blessed with naturally curly auburn ringlets.

Interests: Eating butternut squash soup and hiding in the pumpkin patch scaring kids. I work at the pumpkin patch too.
Where to Find: Zydeco Gifts in Victoria, BC
Brand: Assurance
Price: $3.98 Cdn

I am thankful for my loving family.

I know the holiday Monday isn’t until tomorrow but we celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday and we are celebrating it today, so I decided it was appropriate to publish the Thanksgiving Ducky today. It’s too bad I don’t have a ducky holding a cornucopia because that would have been the perfect Thanksgiving Ducky. Does anyone know where to buy a cornucopia ducky? However, since it’s harvest season and we are thankful for a nice harvest I decided a ducky in a pumpkin would do (even though I know it’s a bit Halloweenish too).

Every year, Thanksgiving Ducky hollows out the largest pumpkin in his pumpkin patch and steps inside it. He makes a perfect hat out of the stem and he ensures he can tuck his entire body into the pumpkin. Next, he waits for customers and then pops out at them all day. It never gets old for him, but some of the returning customers know what to expect.

I have been playing the bagpipes since I was a wee lad. My great grandfather taught me. I love staying true to my culture and learning all that I can about being Scottish. I work as a golf instructor and I love playing in and organizing tournaments.

Scotsmen Ducky isn't too stereotypical or he would be wearing plaid. He is wearing a white shirt with a red sash, a red kilt and a black belt. He is wearing a Scottish bonnet (also called a tam) with a red knot at the top.

At peace with my chick and hen plants.

When I was in Kyoto for our around the world trip, I wanted to find a Geisha rubber ducky but I didn't. I am glad to have this ducky as part of my collection now. We saw geishas in Kyoto and we also went to a traditional tea ceremony.

Geisha Ducky is wearing a pink kimono with red flowers and a red sash. She has a matching red clip in her hair. If you read Memoirs of a Geisha you can learn about the hardships of how much work and pain is endured to get their hair to look how it does.

When it first was released, my husband and I were huge fans of Rockband and we would have friends over until the wee hours of the morning to play. I preferred to be the singer, my husband was on the guitar and his sister was our drummer. I have since sold our Rockband on Kijiji.

She has a pot of purple dye in her left hand and a blue application brush in her right hand. At first I thought she was a make-up artist ducky, but then I realized she is part of the hair stylist ducky set.

Hair Colour Stylist Ducky works in a salon but she has also dyed and styled celebrities hair too. She will even come to your house to style your hair too. My Grandma is 84 and she has a stylist come to her house to do her hair. She isn't as mobile as she used to be.

We are not in Kansas anymore.  

I am sure many kids remember watching the Wizard of Oz as kids. There are probably quite a few different versions out there now. Dorothy Ducky has her hair in pigtails and is wearing a blue dress. It would be neat if she also had her ruby shoes sticking out from under her dress. Perhaps I should design some rubber ducks. I guess rubber ducks don't really have feet though but they might have webbed feet like real ducks.
