Oh dear! Shaun and I are not experts in the planning department! Tayson's 7th birthday is on January 9th.
On New Year's Eve, Shaun's mom, Sharon, came and watched the kids while we went to dinner and shopping for Tayson's present. (Dinner was awesome, by the way!! New Year's Eve was calm this year! We just stayed home and watched Hancock..which is actually quite funny...and relaxed! We watched the ball drop from the comfort and warmth of our own bed!!)
Anyway, we had decided to get Tayson some kind of crab or frog or lizard for his birthday and headed to Petsmart after dinner. So, we saw a crab...liked it.....bought it and an aquarium for it. Then on the way home, we realized that the crab couldn't live in a little baggie for over a week! OH NO!!! So, then we thought that maybe we could just set up the aquarium and hide it until Tayson's birthday. Hmmmm....where oh where were we going to hide an aquarium in our little apartment? No where, that's where! So, we ended up letting Tayson have his birthday present early. A lot early! Oh well! He absolutely loves it and was jumping up and down in excitement! We hit the jackpot on this one!
Here is our newest family member. Tayson named him Mr. Crabs.
Tayson will get to go pick out some new fish friends for Mr. Crabs on his birthday! We also found some little plastic toy crabs to go on a birthday cake for him. Pictures to come of his REAL birthday! And I have to say, that we have all grown fond of our new little buddy....here's hoping he lives!!!!
