Happy 150th Birthday Canada! It would have been cool to have a Canada 150 rubber ducky race. There are tons of ducks from various countries around the world, but there are not enough Canadian themed duckies.

When Canada Day ducky isn't playing hockey, he is training for hockey season. My friend in Edmonton picked up this ducky for us, so I don't have him yet, but here is his picture.

Poutine and ketchup chips are my favourite

It was tough to say if I was more excited to see Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 (an excellent movie) or to play the ducky claw machine for the very first time. I spent $11.00 and received 19 duckies! On my first try, I received 2 duckies, on my second 3. I'm not much of an arcade or video game player, but I am proud to say that I was better at going for volume and Colin was better at aiming for and grabbing specific ducks to complete the Colourful Poop Emoji ducky saga. I am not sure if I have them all now or if there are more that exist. I'll visit the machine again soon when the rest of the emoji ducks are closer to the top of the machine. I hope they refill the machines with duckies again!

Here are my stats on attempts and the number of ducks:

• 1: two ducks
• 2: three ducks
• 3: two ducks
• 4: one duck
• 5: one duck
• 6: two ducks
• 7: one duck
• 8: two ducks
• 9: two ducks
• 10: two ducks
• 11: one duck

Alicia is a natural at the ducky claw game. We spent $13.00 and received 22 duckies and 4 stuffed animals. She perfectly grasped the heart eyed ducky and we managed to move some other duckies out of the way, so we could collect a total of 5 different Emoji duckies. It looks like there is a set of 6, so we are only missing the purple winking emoji ducky. Anyone want to trade? I have lots of the poop emoji duckies (the full set).

From text messaging to instant messenger to Facebook comments, emojis have become the communication norm. They are now available as pillows, purses and the face of beach balls to perhaps the most exciting of all - as a rubber ducky.

Earlier this month, I received a text message for a friend asking if I was home and then telling me to look outside at my lamp. Tucked into my lamp was the one and only Poop Emoji rubber ducky! Of course now I need to collect them all. Since I wasn't very successful with the claw ducky game in Washington, I think I will need to hire my husband to play and win me some ducks. We have been meaning to go and see Guardians of the Galaxy forever, so when we go we will play the ducky game. Poop Emoji Ducky is number 1100 in my collection.

He is friends with the wanna be poop lookalike Peeps Birdie.

Because everyone poops.

Poop posture is a real thing and made a big diference when I was pregnant.

So this isn’t a rubber ducky, but it is a rubber peeps. It’s a bath toy that is the same colour and size as a rubber ducky. However, its shape doesn’t really fit the mold of a rubber ducky’s. It has a bit of a tail and a similar head with no beak, but the way a peep is shaped makes it look like a pile of emoji poop.

I tired a peep for the first time and it was definitely a melt in your mouth gooey marshmallow mess. I’ve heard that they are fun to microwave, so I will experiment with that when I am back home again. 

This peeps loves Ben and Jerry’s Truffle Kerffule

and hanging out in George Washington’s hat on the American Way.

Star and Moon Duckies

Interests: Shopping for Steve Madden shoes, meeting their friends in Walmart.

Where to find: Toys R Us Outlet at Tanger mall,Walmart

Brand: infantino

Price: $1.99 US

When my parents were on the Oregon coast last May, they found these infantino ducks for me. Before that I had the plain blue, green, yellow and pink from our Walmart in Canada, but Walmart in the US has more of these ducks and in many different patterns. I love that each Walmart tends to have different ducks. I am still hoping to pop into a Walmart in Maryland to see if I can find a few more.

Star and Moon Duckies love shopping for shoes at Steve Madden. They are bargain shoppers. They also love hanging out with their friends at Walmart and watching their friends put a smile on kids’ or adults’ faces (each time they are purchased.

My twin is Washington D.C. ducky. Sometimes they ride the Capitol Wheel together and wait for people to spot their differences. National Harbor Ducky costs more than his twin. His favourite memorial is the Lincoln Memorial. National Harbor ducky is a  technical writer and manages translation for his team.

He has been on the following ferris wheels: the London Eye, High Roller, Star of Nanchang, Singapore Flyer, and the Meleborne Star. Next on his list are the Eurowheel in Italy and the Sky Wheel in Taiwan.

Lincoln's hat is the best.

The Gaylord National Resort has a great hot tub 

with a waterfall sprayer.
