Saturday Night Movie

This is the first time my kids have been quiet all day. We had a pretty busy day today. We went to Kaydee's first wrestling tournament where she got second place in her weight class. Yeah, Kaydee! After we had been there for several hours we came home and did the typical Saturday "get ready for Sunday" stuff. Now the kids are chilling out watching Sky High before they go to bed.

Sick

I don't have a picture because, believe me, you don't want to see me. One of the things I don't like about winter is getting sick. I was glad to actually avoid it all winter until March, but now I'm pretty miserable. I don't know exactly what I have, but it's some kind of head, throat, nose thing. All I know is that I'm pretty miserable and some days I feel like my head's going to explode and other days I can't even talk. I hope everyone is feeling better than I am right now.

What's a Gerbil?

We went to the pet shop the other day cuz the kids wanted a pet. Being that we rent our house we couldn't get anything big, so we decided we were going to get a hamster. While we were at the pet store we saw the hamsters and were going to get one. In the aquarium right next to the hamsters there were these other little animals that kinda looked like a cross between a mouse and a hamster so we asked the pet store guy what they were. He said they were gerbils and were actually better for kids cuz they didn't bite as much. So we decided to get one. Within a couple of days we went back and got a second one cuz the first one just wanted to stay in it's little house all day. By the way, gerbils tails are twice as long as in the pic. The first day we had it I accidently pulled half it's tail off. I freaked out, but then found out that it naturally happens in the wild as a defense mechanism, it helps them get away. The fur and skin comes off and the remaining bone dries up and falls off within a few days. Fun, huh?

But the kids love their new pets, Jasmine and Stephanie.

Aimee's Birthday

Aimee had her Ninth Birthday on February 12th. We had a small celebration with our family, a few gifts and cake and ice cream. Aimee's favorite thing, though, was her balloons. I got her 30 helium filled balloons and her and her sisters had a blast trying to tackle them and keep them down!
