More Pets!

More pets have found their way into our home, but we just consider it science! During the heavy rains last week, the red-eared slider turtles abounded the sides of ponds and streets by our house, and we happen to come across a little one on the way to Walmart. Since these have always been Vince's favorite and he's never got to have one, we brought it home and put our Walmart trip off until later! Fortunately, this one's living outside at our house!

Gabie got a Walmart gift card in the mail from Grandma Hanson, so we immediately knew we'd get him the thing that he keeps wanting: a "bish" (fish)! He loves fish and we've been wanting to get him one, so we went to Walmart (after the turtle was set up at home), and bought him his first "bish." He loves seeing it first thing in the morning.

Grandma also sent Gabie a coloring book (with pictures of "bish" to color), and some BIG crayons. He absolutely loves coloring with the crayons and it's been a nice way to entertain him during school hours! Thanks so much Grandma!

By the way, we are happy to report that the nuk has recently been making it's appearance A LOT less at our house! Gabie is deciding to give it up on his own! Thank you, God, because You knew I didn't have the energy for that little battle!
