A couple weeks ago the kids were with Bo and they found a little wooden gun that Brodie really wanted. Bo said he would have to buy it himself, so he needed to save up $10. Ever since then Brodie's been collecting change and doing chores to earn enough money to buy the gun. He finally reached his goal of $10, so we took his piggy bank to the bank and put it through one of those coin machines. He got his $10 bill from the teller lady and when we got in the car he said he wanted to go to the store and buy a toy. We looked around the store for a very long time. Then Brodie got the bright idea of getting himself some fish! He picked out 5 little $0.28 goldfish, some rocks, and a decoration for the goldfish bowl (which I already had at home) for $9.80, so he even had a little money left over. He could not have been happier! He was kissing the bag of fish on our way out the store and continued kissing them once they were in their fish bowl.
Brodie also got a little ladybug land container a couple days ago which he has been filling with local ladybugs, ants, and butterflies until he waited to get his ladybugs in the mail. This morning we finally got the ladybug larvae, so it's sort of like a zoo around here now.
It snowed last night, and for the majority of today. The kids wanted to go out right away of course.
Then after I thought we were done playing outside Ryker put on his Mr. Potato Head glasses, and managed to pull on Brodie's boots and kept saying his word for outside. He looked so cute I had to let him out again!
Our indoor activity for today was finger painting - only the non-messy version. I put a piece of paper and some paint inside a ziploc bag (thank you pinterest) and the kids went at it! They actually look pretty neat and now my fridge is decorated.
Love these boys!
