Finally a Pet!!

For many of you that know us you know that our boys have been wanting a pet.... especially Caden.  Caden has always loved dogs!!  Both of the boys have asked for a dog from time to time.  Blake went through a phase this summer where he almost considered just going to live with Papa because he thought it would mean he could have this puppy he had seen.

So all that have felt sorry for our boys because they couldn't have a dog or a cat.... worry no more.... we are now the proud owners of 2 little turtles!!!  (no fur, no house training, no chewing up things)  I think the turtles have been named Mario and Luigi (by Caden and Blake). 

 

I hope this will be a good experience for the boys.... I have observed a little tormenting from time to time (at least that is what I would call it... they call it playing).  I worried Caden wouldn't mess with them ever again on the first day of owning them because his turtle latched onto his finger!  I told him if you hold your finger in front of his face and wiggle it around it is going to think it is food.... I think he learned the hard way:)

 

I will admit they are fun to watch.  It is neat to see how Caden will just sit by the aquarium and watch them too.  Sometimes it is the first thing he goes to when he wakes up in the morning and when we get home. 

 

Thank you so much Bigler's for the turtles!!
