Turtle Tuesday!

The day finally arrived!

Carrie Anne has been wanting a pet turtle.  She has researched, researched, researched information about turtles.

Over the weekend we got the new home set up and ordered three turtles.  They were overnight shipped to us.  We were all waiting for the UPS man to arrive on Tuesday morning.  Finally we heard the truck and sure enough it backed down our driveway.  We carefully opened the box and met the newest family members.

I do have to say they are quite cute and even seem to have a bit of a personality :) for a turtle that is.

Here they are!

Meet Gilligan, Ginger and MaryAnne (yes, Gilligan's Island is my kids favorite TV show!)

I love that you can see Seth's reflection as he watches the turtles.

It also coincides with T week for the little boys in school.  They learn a letter a week and this is T week.  We have done lots of T activities, each day they looked in the empty aquarium and asked where the turtles were.  Now they are in there.  We also had tacos for dinner in honor of T week. So, it was Taco, Turtle, Tuesday.  Not to be confused with Turtle taco Tuesday.  Carrie Anne didn't think that was funny!
