Fish Are Friends, Not Food!
Today as Tali and I were looking at her fishies. We noticed that both of her black moor goldfish had cataracts. Jonah, the big fat one, had them in both eyes and Dory, the smaller one, had it a little in just one eye.
As I was trying to find all six fish, all I could see were four fishies. Fiona (our smallest goldfish that we got from my high school reunion) and Aurora (our orange and white goldfish with a clear fancy tail fin) were no where to be found. I had asked Brian if he had found them dead or something and flushed them. He told me know so I kept searching for them. I still could not find them anywhere. I decided to observe the fish for a little bit to see if any of them were behaving oddly or aggressively. I didn't notice anything at first. I had Brian look to see if he could see anything. Well, he found Fiona floating up top hiding in the leaves of one of the plants with her tail fin missing. I just hope Tali did not witness any of that going on. I ended up finding Aurora in the ship once again with her tail fin missing. As I continued to observe the other fish, I noticed that both black moor fish (Jonah and Dory) were particularly aggressive. After I saw Jonah try to snip at Tiana's (another orange and white fish) tail fin, I decided to separate Jonah and Dory from Shrek and Tiana. I had to put Jonah and Dory in separate containers for fear they would kill each other. Fiona and Aurora are no more and Jonah and Dory will be taken back to the store. I just hope they survive long enough to make it to the pet store tomorrow in order to exchange them for two other fishes that won't turn cannibalistic.

Halloween Costumes
This year as Brian and I were trying to figure out what to dress up for Halloween this year, we decided we didn't want to spend a lot of money on new costumes. Since we weren't able to go out last year trick-or-treating because everyone was sick, so we decided to just reuse our costumes from last year, Yes, we are doing The Wizard of Oz again, but with a new addition. Costumes are expensive enough without having to buy four new costumes.
Last year, Brian was the Scarecrow, I was dressed as Glinda the good witch, and Tali was Dorothy. This year we're adding the Cowardly Lion. I wanted to make sure Tali's costume fit, which of course it didn't so we had to buy her a new Dorothy costume. I wanted to make sure the new one would fit so I put it on her and had to go the next size up. When we put the larger one on her, she looked so darn cute I had to get a visual with the whole thing (shoes, hair, make-up etc). Yes I ended up taking pictures.
Isn't she the cutest Dorothy ever?!?
Jairus's costume on the other had was difficult to find. All the lion costumes I found for "infants" were for those that were 6-12 months. Since he is only 3 months I had a hard time finding one that would be even remotely close to his size. The smallest one I found was 0-6 months and that is still big on him. Oh well. Here are his photos.
The sweetest little lion ever!
This Halloween will be so much fun! I really cannot wait!
Great Gift & Good Times
Ever since I had Jairus, I've been dying to go running but really couldn't take the kids because we only had a single stroller. I'd been having a really difficult time getting out and feeling cooped up inside. One thing that helped was I was going to an exercise class at my old stake center but that was short lived when I couldn't make it home in time for Brian to make it to school on time. I started feeling really discouraged. Yesterday, Brian's mom brought over the best gift I could have right now. For us Christmas came a couple months early. She and Pappy had gotten us a double jogging stroller! Whoo hoo! I was SO excited and so grateful! It was such a wonderful gift!
Today we decided to take the stroller out for a spin. It was AWESOME! Here are some photos of us with the awesome stroller.
I absolutely LOVE this thing! The kids did too! Thanks Ma!
For our walk today, we went to Walmart to pick a few things up. I ended up getting a couple CD's to listen to and put on my Ipod while I take the kids out with my new stroller. While I was putting my music on my computer, Tali was dancing to the music and then she grabbed Jairus's hand to dance with him while he was in his swing. He thought the was the best thing ever! He was all smiles. Here are some of the photos.
She's such a good big sister!
