Like most little boys Joshua loves the movie Cars. Well until recently he thought it was too scary to watch, but loved the die cast character cars. Today we were racing them across our floor, which is one of our almost daily activities. He was excited today because he bought himself his own new race car with his own "Moneys". I have started to enlist him on my cleaning day for 10 cents a job. He loves it and is a great little worker. When I started I explained to him that if he wants to buy things when we go to the store he can save and use his own money. Of course right away he said he wanted to buy a race car. So a month has passed of doing jobs, he has paid his tithing and had just enough to buy a race car. He was so excited. Not that he needs more! They are all very well used and loved though.
Recently we got a free fish tank from a lady at a garage sale. So we decided the kids would enjoy some fish in their room. Joshua named them and of course we have had quite a few fatalities (luckily Petco has a 15 day promise on their fish), and a couple tears and lessons on Heaven, and the resurrection. Abigail is enthralled with the fish and very motivated to get a good look at them.
In fact so motivated that she will climb up on Joshua's bed...
...stand next to the tank and pat it...
...and climb on the table to pound on the top. I walked in the other day and almost had a heart attack. She is a real monkey!
And yes that is the wall color of Joshua's room. He picked that room himself he calls it his "pretty flower room". When we close on the house it will be the first room to be repainted!
She also loves to climb the stairs now and obviously is very excited and proud of herself for her new found abilities.
Such a cutie!

This is too funny. I am laughing so hard thinking about you teaching your kids about heaven and the fish. We bought some fish and left them with the Fagers to watch when we were out of town... the fish died so they had to give their girls the same lesson. Luckily we got out of that talk.
I can't believe how grown up your kiddos look.
Abigail is getting around so much. She must keep you pretty busy.
LOL about the bedroom. I love how he picked it out by himself.
