Earth Day / "Blueberry"

Brooke and I woke up on Earth Day and thought about all the fun ways we could celebrate our beautiful earth. One of the first things we (I) did while Brooke slept was convert a few diaper boxes into storage bins for a few things I needed separated in my kitchen. I didn't take a picture, but I was feeling very "green" and everything worked out perfectly for the awesome cost of $0.

Once Brooke woke up we decided to make some earth cupcakes and enjoyed eating them. We then went and saw Brooke's first movie in the movie theater "Oceans." It was a great movie but Brooke is one loud little girl and wanted everything explained to her. "What's that Mommy," "oh no Mommy, what eating?" She was very cute and luckily there were lots of other kids in the theater, so we decided that no one really cared about the added commentary.

Once we got home Jason told Brooke that he had a surprise for her. He walked down the stairs, and walked back up with a little Betta fish that he won at a work meeting (actually his D.O.N won it and gave it to Jason.) Brooke loves it. I am scared to death I am going to kill it just like all 12 goldfish I had growing up (I won them at a fair and they all died within hours). I am not good with pets and my mom was surprised I even wanted to keep the fish once I told her about it, because I am pretty admit that I don't want any kind of pet. However, I felt an immediate bond with this little fish (pregnancy hormones) and decided we needed to make him a part of our family. Today Brooke and I decided that we needed to take a trip to the pet store to learn how to take care of him and get him a nice comfortable home. After making him comfortable, we are now happy to present to you...Blueberry (named by Brooke) our first family pet.

She really does love the little fish. She has already hugged it, kissed it, and fed it a sippy cup. All through the glass of course!

Some of our Earth Cupcakes. Somewhat retarded looking but we had fun making them!

We hope you all had a great Earth Day too!
