Never take 3 boys to a pet store.....


Weston and Garrett have been bugging me to get something to "entertain" their frogs. (They are both down to 1 frog each by the way.) They seem to think that you can go to the pet store and get frog toys like you would with a dog or cat. I told them that maybe we could find a small rock or tree to put in their aquariums because they don't have a whole lot of room.
As soon as we walked in the door, they had both forgotten all about their frogs. They immediately began eeewwwing and aahhhing over all of the disgusting reptiles while I wandered around shopping for the stupid frogs. I found a couple small trees but couldn't get their attention long enough to even see if that is what they had wanted.
Of course they began begging and pleading for a new frog, a snake, a hamster, a cat, a lizard, some fish and all the while telling me how they would take care of it and clean up after it everyday!!! Now that's a funny story.. I have to remind them to feed and clean their frogs now.
After I refused to even look at the snakes, Garrett informed me that they were only "Big worms".... ya, like that is going to make me feel better! Just knowing that they were crawling around in a cage in my house would keep me awake at night. I don't know what it is, but if I even see a snake on TV I cringe and get sick to my stomach.
I can't wait until summer..... then my boys can be boys OUTSIDE!
