We had a pretty good long weekend, despite daily thunderstorms. We are getting into the monsoon season, where it rains pretty much every evening. On the plus side, my yard is looking really good!
We started the weekend with a BBQ/pool party with some new friends from Aurora's school. The weather wasn't very good but we did get an hour or so of good sunlight for the kids to go crazy in the pool!! It really WAS crazy, and I can't even tell you the number of injuries they had by the end! But everyone had a good time and it was good to make some friends with couples that have kids Alex and Aurora's ages.
On Sunday we went to the children's museum, which is always a big hit. They have some great exhibits and I always enjoy seeing the things the kids can do and comprehend that they couldn't on the last visit. Alex was pretty funny; he refused to remove his sunglasses the whole time we were there!
Today we did some shopping and we ended up with a new edition to the family! Aurora has been telling me lately that our rat, Ratatoullie, is "lonely". I did some reading and rats really are social creatures and I thought maybe she was right. We went to the pet store and checked out the rats and talked to the store associates, and I ended up being talked into another one! So we have a pretty little grey one now, who's name is, appropriately, Remy! Both rats are getting along well and are currently cuddled up together in their bed.
We ended the weekend with some grilled pork chops and ice cream that the kids chased down from the ice cream truck! All in all a good weekend! Here are some pictures:

Debi, rats are actually awesome pets! I had my doubts when we got the first one, but they are friendly, smart, and keep themselves clean!
Mom of the year.
Not because of the fabulous birthday party.
Not because of the trip to the children's museum.
Not even because of the ice cream truck goodies.
Mom of the year because you own not one, but TWO rats. Kudos to you.
sounds like a great way to spend a long weekend!
