Today we went to a birthday party today for Noah... Noah is Matt's son, Matt is Mikey's old roommate and a good friend of ours. Noah turned 9 and had his birthday party at PetLand. It was a really neat party. Noah got to go with the party host to pick out 6 animals to bring into the party that was in a separate room and all his friends got to play with the animals. He chose a bearded dragon (gross), a red tail boa (gross again), a feret that Grady tried to kill by snapping its neck, a beagle (CUTE!), a cha-weiny (this is a new breed... chihuahua/weiner dog... hilarious!), and Mikey's favorite, an english bulldog. OH. MY. GOSH. This was the cutest little thing I have ever seen in my entire life and had it not cost $4800, we may have brought home a little brother for Ellie. No payment plan was convincing me that this would be a smart investment. However, a little boy named Grady did convince me that this was a smart investment:
I must say I do like these little fish and it is pretty to look at. We got some neon tetras and some other neon fish.... I'm not expert on the fish as you can tell. If it weren't for Jessica at PetLand, we'd have a bunch of fish attacks happening right now in our aquarium. Grady gets excited and says "FISEEEE!!!" (or "NEMO!!!", but he doesn't quite understand that we don't have Nemo in our tank... we are amateurs, not quite ready for the saltwater fish!). We want to add just a couple more fish since these are so small, but the rule is one inch of fish per one gallon of water, so we really shouldn't get too many more. We did end up with a shrimp in there somehow. It was a freebie. We didn't notice the poor fella till we got home and set it up. Ever since I saw "Finding Nemo" I personify the fish and think they have real feelings like when they see the net coming, they are thinking "No, not me, not me, not me"! I asked Mikey if he thought they'd be happy with their new living conditions and he looked at me like I was crazy. I keep reminding them not to get near the filter, too. Do you think they look at me like that brace-faced little girl from the movie? I hope not.
We had a lot of fun at the party, Grady crashed AS SOON AS we got in the car. Then, tonight, Elaine came over and babysat so Mikey and I could enjoy a night out with dinner and trip to Wal Mart. We live a luxurious life.
These are a couple pics I took yesterday that I thought were just adorable.
Hope y'all are enjoying your weekend as well!

What a cute fish tank....who's in charge of cleaning it? :) I love the father/son riding lawn mowers! So sweet!
The lawn mower pictures are so cute! Grady sure does love imitating his daddy! Pretty soon, you won't be able to go anywhere with Grady without him stopping and talking to all the 1 and 2 year olds he knows!:)
I was wondering the same thing as Nancy. I had a fish tank for my classroom one year. It was a huge disaster. Fish died, kids freaked. Hope you have better luck than I did.
Grady is as cute as can be!
You're definitely acting like the braces girl in the movie! They're all trying to hide when you come near! hahaha! The FISEEE tank is very cool!
Nothing like naked lawn mowing! Grady is NOT trying to get a farmers tan!
You scared the fish to DEATH!
Don't I recall two english bulldogs that used to live at your house? Just sayin'.
Grady is so stinkin cute. Love those father/son pics. I think he and AC are going to have fun playing together. Hopefully she can walk by the time y'all come and they can wrestle in the backyard together.
Too cute!!
