On Saturday we got up early and went outside to pick weeds. Austin was so cute and was such a helper. He loved picking the weeds and putting them in the bag.
Will convinced me! We now have a pet. Since I don't want a dog, and Austin loves animals, I decided to cave in and get a few fish. We got 4 goldfish and the boys LOVE them. Best part is I only spent $3 on the bowl and fish...another good thing...we are now down to only 3 fish. I'll give the other ones a couple of days.
We also went rollerskating with our friends Ron and Nicole. It was a blast watching all the kids get the hang of it....Hunter never quite caught on...it was hilarious. Will seriously broke out into a sweat trying to keep him on his skates.
Well that was our weekend...hope everyone had as much fun as we did!

Um... you might need an aquarium. Goldfish are notoriously messly fish. They produce a lot of waste and therefore need about a gallon of water per inch of fish. That's probably why one died already. Our aquarium makes a great night-light in the little boys' room. It's very soothing to watch the fish swim about and here the pump make bubble sounds.
I agree with you, fish are the way to go in regards to a pet. We also have a one-eyed boy hamster named Lucy. And even though he is low-maintenance, fish are MUCH easier. I still have to change Lucy's bedding weekly because it gets stinky.
We had a blast rollerskating!!! Thanks so much for coming!!
My sentiments to the fish. We've got a beta that I'm surprised is still alive. As a kid we had a turtle. We bought feeder gold fish for it. Well the turtle died and the fish grew to be 6 inches long! We put them in our pond, which we later eaten by our pet Racoon. It is a vicous world :-)
What a good mom you are caving in on the pet thing. I am still an evil mom ruining my kids lives because I will not cave. But thouse pix of the boys with the fish just might help me change my mind.........maybe.....
I had some fish onece but Parker too them out to pet them and needless to say they didnt last. Your boys are getting so big.
So this girl I work (She is really cool!!!) thinks you should send that picture of Austin looking at the fish into Parenting Magazine. They are having a photo contest, and she thinks you could win!! Love Ya!!
