Bug loves the aquarium, he likes the sharks best. he does not like the turtles and he really doe snot like my favorites, the mantas. But there is something for everyone.
Bug decided that Mickey (meme) needed to come to the aquarium today- he has not played with meme for about 6 months now. Meme, apparently, had a great time at the aquarium.
REEEEEACCCCHHHHHHH
Meme is 12 inches tall or 1 foot.
This picture would say that Mam is 6 feet tall- but actually it is the angel, she is about 5 feet 8 inches.
Bug is 3.5 feet now- which means he has grown another inch and is 42 inches tall. This growth has come since summer, which explains why his pants form last year did not fit. it also explains why he is complaining about his legs hurting. I think he is actually growing now because he was 41 inches tall about 3 weeks ago. 
Santa's reindeer (statues) were hidden around the aquarium. Bug had a good time looking for them and posing with them or near them.
this one was in one of the tunnels. The diver was cleaning the tank.
We had to visit the frog bog. 
and play the frogger game
Santa- he had just finished talking to the audience. We could have stood in a short line to get a picture with Santa but Bug said no 3 times. As soon as we walked out of the door of the theater, he insistent that he wanted his picture with Santa. TOO LATE. This is such a normal thing, he says the opposite of what he really wants or later wants. But this momma now asks multiple times to make sure I have not misheard his choice and then he has to live with his choice. So no picture with Santa.

Love it
Turtle with Santa. the elf is there is keep the turtle from biting Santa's air hose or from biting Santa. Apparently the turtles like to biting things just to see what they are.
reindeer in the alligator bayou
finding the fish on the screen so I can tell him what it is and then we can look for it in the huge tank. Bug let me know that he had a fish tank when he was older. Yes, you read the right- Bug loves to tell me what he will have when he gets older, he just has his sentence syntax a little mixed up.
The first reindeer we found- see Meme's foot?We are expecting 1-2 inches of snow tomorrow. So I think Bug and I are going to stay hoe most of day. But we will be playing outside in the snow while I try to shovel the driveway.
Love and hugs,
Deb

The car story:
last night after picking up Bug, we were driving home, when the car started to "miss" as it shifted into the next gear or as it shifted down. About 2 miles from home, the check engine light came on. So rather than turning left off the highway at our exit, I turned right and took the straight to the repair shop.
One of the shop guys drove us home and this morning, I called the shop first thing to find out what was going on. Apparently the car was misfiring on a cylinder and needed new spark plugs and spark plug wires. The repair took about 2 hours. We picked up the car at 11;30 and headed down to the aquarium.
Whew, just the spark plugs. They are relatively inexpensive to change out.
