Today was a big day in the Patterson House - the boys got their first pets!
Yup, those are fish! The lighting is really bad in these pictures, but the boys were very excited about their new friends "Luke" and "Aggie" (Luke's fish) and "Finding Nemo" and "Finding Nemo's Daddy" (Jacob's fish).
We will see how long these guys make it around here. They're living on the window seat in the boys' playroom now, so there is a very good chance they could be forgotten. Poor fish.
Luke really wanted a dog and Jacob really wanted a kitty cat, but mommy wanted nothing to do with either of those things, so we are starting with fish. We told them if they took good care of the fish, then we would get a turtle or a frog. And if they took good care of the turtle/frog, then we would talk about a dog/kitty. I'm hoping that is many years down the road.
This past week was Fall Break at the boys' MDO, so we planned lots of activities. They started out the week at Wildlife Camp at The Wildlife Experience. It was just 9-12 Monday - Wednesday, but I think they had fun. And, really, they only went two days because I didn't send them on Tuesday so we could go bowling for my birthday.
Bowling! Why have we not been bowling before? The boys had a great time! I think this will be another place we frequently visit during the winter.
We also did lots of playing outside while the weather is still beautiful, Luke did lots of drawing ghosts and we watched while the trees pretty much changed colors right before our eyes.
We also got some great tickets to the Avalanche game! The boys thought the game was a lot of fun (or just liked the popcorn), but we didn't even make it through the first period before they wanted to go home.
And that was just fine with me because I love getting in bed early too.
Last weekend Bunny & Grandaddy came to visit and we were so excited to see them! We drove through the mountains to see some more foliage and did some "hiking"...
Bunny got some much better pictures, so there are more photos to come! Thanks for coming to see us, Bunny & Grandaddy!
Less than two weeks now until we head back to Texas for Aunt Erica's wedding - we are all so excited!!
