Pumpkins and Goals

This year the boys and their cousin grew a garden with their Grandpa Barnes. I know our boys love it. They like going out about once a week to weed and help with the things they are growing. Each year they also enter into the fair, but the only thing bad with this year we were at Disney, so I'm really not sure how they did. No matter how they did, they had fun growing it. Usually after they work in the garden, Grandpa will take them out for a $5 meal at DQ. These are the things they will remember as they get older and that's what matters most. One part they also look forward to is their pumpkin sell. This year we picked about 120 more or less and I'm pretty sure they sold almost all of them. 

It was a good weekend for Beckham. It was his last football game of the season and the finally WON!!! They only won one game but ending on a win made Beck excited to do it next year. At least next year it will be for the school and hopefully a coach that is more into coaching. 

Yesterday we were talking about pets and the boys keep wanting more pets. We were talking about how I had a rabbit and how much I liked them. I made the mistake of saying that I'd get another one over almost any other pet. That made them both excited but what they don't ever get it how much work and money they are. They aren't that great with the dogs and remember their chores that they have right now. We told them (and we have told them this a few times) that maybe once they show us they can be responsible and remember the pets they have now and all of the other small chores they have that we'd consider another pet. I told Beck that if he can be responsible for 6 months and save we'd think. So yesterday he spent cleaning all of his room, that included under his bed and the baskets he has, which never get cleaned out. He also made a goal trail and what to work towards. He seems motivated right now and we really hope that he  sticks to it. Maybe around Easter Beck will get a rabbit. 

To end their fun weekend the boys went to the symphony with Grandma and Grandpa Arrington. Their band teacher is in it  and they wanted to go. Thankfully my parents were already going and able to take them. They both loved it.
