introducing...

hopper
the newest addition to our family is a frog. don't get too set on the name though because hopper is already the 4th name bennett has given it. while we were on our date last night my sister tara was watching the boys and decided to take bennett to pick out his bday present early at the pet store! bennett has been begging for a pet for a long time and i agreed that a frog would be acceptable, but i'm a little scared of it. i thought it would be a lot smaller, but his eyes scare me. i will never dare to touch this pet. bennett keeps begging me to hold it, but i'm too scared. he thinks that is so funny.
bennett is in heaven, he is obsessed, he even held crickets to feed his froggie!
doesn't that just gross you out? i would be yelling and screaming, but he loves it.
grayson is so funny, he doesn't know what to think about it. he won't hold it yet.
bennett won't wipe the smile off of his face and grayson is hilarious....
thanks aunt rara....i love you so much, you made my whole bday!!! (which is not good for me as the mother, now what do i get him? underwear and a lame toy?!!!)

Wendy said...

What a generous gift! You gave her the approval first right? How cute is Bennett with his first pet? You can't buy that smile at a store.

Elizabeth said...

oh my gosh, that is so cute and creepy at the same time! haha, I bet Bennett loves him so much though, tha'ts so cute!

Jessica said...

Oh that just melts my heart - I love how he is trying to get close to snuggle, but it's a FROG right? I think you should hold it! Do it! Do it! How cute. The first picture makes it look a lot bigger then when they are holding it. Is it slimy?

Tracy said...

What a great idea for a pet. It looks so low maintenance and yet the child is enthralled nonetheless. This is making me consider it for Lucas.

Barbara said...

Haha...these pics crack me up. Bennett is so stoked beyond belief and Grayson is like - what's all the hype about? Come on Sara, just touch it!!

brooke said...

Ewww, Sara, I wouldn't be able to touch it either. But that smile makes it all worth it! So cute.

Abi said...

I love that little frog! Taylor would love to come and see it one day. She is obsessed with frogs. She wants to sell her beta fish on the internet she told me so she can get a new pet!

Sara Decker said...

Abi- taylor can come over anytime to see hopper!

Wendy- yes i gave my sister approval, but now i feel bad because i'm pretty sure it was 100 bucks to get all of the supplies, sad huh?

Jessica- NO, i will never hold it, it is sticky, not slimy. It jumps too much i would scream!

You are such a fun mom cause I would've flushed that little guy immediatley . J/K that's harsh! Seriously, though, how cute are your kids with their little friend!?

Jenny said...

That is a great idea for a pet! Perfect. And kudos to your sister for all the accessories. Now you are set for any type of indoor aquarium pets. Turtles, lizards, snakes...
