new friends

We have some new friends living here at our house.

Patrick and Jack’s classes did a big unit on crayfish last month. Now that it’s over they are offering the crayfish for adoption. Being that Patrick is completely and utterly obsessed with the crayfish, how could I say no? While the boys were at school Timmy and I went to the pet store to pick up some crayfish supplies so our new friend would be happy living here. I got out cheap at $26 for the whole set up…however Timmy decided he wanted some fish for him so I had to promise that we would go back the next day for him.

Since coming home the crayfish has been "boring" according to Patrick. He spends all his time in his cave. I guess he must come out to play at night (they like the dark) cause things in the tank look rearranged the next morning. These things have a life span of 3-5 years. That’s a long time for a boring pet.

Back to the "fish store" the next day as promised and Timmy picked out two fish which he named ahead of time. They are Lewis (goldfish) and Goo (spotted fish). We aren’t entirely sure where he got the names from (he did mention something about the movie Meet the Robinsons but I’m not exactly sure) but they sure are cute!! He’s digging them a lot. I keep waiting to walk in and see Timmy IN the tank.

The PhotoPlus show at Javits was so fun today and it was great getting out for the day. Spent a lot of time just walking around and checking out all the goodies in person that I usually only see online. Have some great ideas for bsquared 2009. Gonna be offering all kinds of albums and other fun stuff!! I even got a great present from Mr. Mark at Rockville Camera- a new funky lens. It’s not in yet so when it is, I’ll be sure to post some new cool shots with it. Thanks Mr. Mark! And a big thanks to my mom for ALL the babysitting she’s been doing for me- and believe me, theres been a LOT.
