7 Swans a-Swimming

So today is Seven Swans a-Swimming (or ducks if you can't find swans).  I don't know why, but I was really excited for Seven Swans a-Swimming.  I think it's because this one took me the longest to come up with an idea for.  I couldn't find swans anywhere, so we used ducks which my kids were happy about because they got the extras.  They have some of these ducks in a Halloween theme and they LOVE playing with them.  So they were thrilled to have Christmas ducks.  I couldn't figure out what to do for the "swimming" part.  I thought of making a cake with blue frosting and let them swim in that, but that sounded boring.  Then it hit me...blue jelly beans!  A brilliant idea, but a side note: jelly beans are expensive!
