After a long busy week (VBS, Greg got in a car accident...) it was nice to have a relaxing weekend. Friday, Greg came home early and we all went over to my Dad's for a swim and a cookout. Friends came over and the kids got to spend time with some of the aunts and uncles too. 
Saturday we went to the Holland's and watched the World Cup game, went out for icecream and then had movie night. We all watched Avatar for the first time. Tre made it through the whole movie, but he was definitely scared at some parts (when he would conveniently go to the bathroom to work on his loose tooth). It's a top tooth and it's so loose it's practically sideways and it sticks out too. I'm hoping to get pics taken of the kids soon so I want that tooth to hurry up and come out already. The girls watched part of the movie and whined through the end that they wanted to go home. Granted, it was over an hour past bedtime. Finally they crashed on the floor.
Sunday, Greg told the kids that they could get a fish. He's been talking about it for a while now and of course the suggestion was met with great excitement (not so much by me- the primary fish tank supervisor and cleaner). Of course, I got on board with the kids excitement and we all made the trip to petsmart. We wanted to just get Betta fish cause we're too cheap to buy a big tank with a filter and all that. Greg and I found some little tanks with a divider in them so you could keep 2 bettas together without one killing the other. This was a great idea because it probably kept Tre and Joey from killing eachother over which fish to choose. After some prompting by us that they should choose a lively fish and not one floating, one fin in grave, Tre and Joey chose their fish. Joey's is a female red betta and her name is "Goldy." Tre's is a male betta that is red and blue and his name is "FreddyBlue." We finally transferred them to the big tank today and they are happily swimming. The kids are especially excited, although Frankie would be happier with a dog. LOL
We spent the rest of Sunday making homemade pizza and fried eggplant and watching tv. Then Greg and the girls all conked out and Tre and I snuck off to the grocery store by ourselves. I always love outings with just me and Tre. He's good company and always appreciates our alone time. All in all, a great weekend.
