New pet(s)

When we were on our mini-trip last week, Zachary & Grams purchased something really exciting. So exciting that Zachary held the container and talked about it the entire trip. He could not wait to home to open the package and see his "pets". He got "SeaMonkeys". I remember having them as a kiddo too. I don't know why they are so exciting. It might be because we do not have any pets. All of Z's classmates at preschool have pets OR siblings. Zachary always tells me this. What makes Zachary even more concerned about his pet-less, sibling-less house is his best friend/cousin, Elliott has two cats AND is getting a new baby soon. Zachary is jealous. Thankfully these Sea Monkeys have halted any further conversation about a pet or sibling....for a couple days. HA!

Putting the "sea monkey's" in the purified water.
Waiting for the Sea Monkey's to hatch...it takes 5 days. Z could be sitting there for a while.
Sitting at the table for at least 25 minutes looking at "purified water".

I love in the first picture you are holding his hand down, as if he was so excited he couldn't keep his hands off and then by the last picture he looks like he is about to fall asleep. Too cute!

Poor Z, he's so mistreated! Really cute pics!! Sea Monkeys are a great pet. I might have to see if I can find some for purchase next time Carina asks for a cat. Meanwhile, our pet sunflowers have kept her pretty occcupied...
