Meet Frank

He's the newest addition to our fam.  Not sure if he's going to live.  I'm not even sure what kind of plant it is.  I've been wanting some large outdoor plants for the deck.  So when we happened to drive past a Lowes, we stopped.  Trent didn't like anything I wanted and then when we did both agree Trent had to bring up the fact that once killed a cactus--I didn't want to be reminded.  So I didn't get anything I wanted and Trent bought Frank.  He and Gus finally settled on the name.  The poor thing didn't know what kind of home he was going to.

Oh well-  Nothing exciting these last 3 days other than the pool.  I am trying to get Gus excited about this local steam train ride that they have within the area, but he's not into it at all.  Hank is really into the Thomas the train stuff right now so I think he'll like it.  Gus is just going to have to take one for the team I suppose.  Tonight when I picked him up from jiujitsu, he had this bigger boy on the ground.  He's really learned a lot in 2 lessons.  I hope this doesn't backfire on me.  When we got out of the van I asked him to take his "Gi" and he said "mom, it's called a shirt"  I replied "no, it has a specific name" he said "ok it's an outfit"  I just shook my head.

Hank Heffernan has been rather naughty.  He's doing everything Gus does.  And when I get onto him he either gives a sad, pouty face or says 'no' and laughs.  He'll be 2 on Aug. 6th and I've never liked it when people refer to his age as the terrible-twos, but with him it just might be fitting.
