First off…let’s pretend it’s still Thursday. But only until you’re done reading. Then party like a rockstar (which for us is watching Hannah Montana: The Movie) and enjoy your Friday!
I can’t help but appreciate and love my kids’ reactions to our first family pets, brought home last night after a trip out for bubble bath.
It might have been an impulse buy on my husband’s part, but we are now the proud owners of…
Nemo
Dori
and Sharkie
(I’m pretty sure I got those in the right order.)
These are technically the kids’ second pets. They had two goldfish (Nemo and Rosie) that experienced a bit of trauma (aka “held by Peter”) on the way home from the store and made it about two hours.
Casey brought home the new members of our family last night and we were extra careful to avoid trauma (still aka “held by Peter”).
Here’s hoping that Nemo, Dori, and Sharkie live long and prosper.
And if by chance they don’t…that the kids aren’t too heartbroken if we need to have a traditional goldfish funeral.
Update – Nemo has left the building. The kids haven’t noticed yet, so I think we might do a switch-a-roo. That’s not deception, is it? Hope not!

Good for you for trying fish a second time! I haven’t been that brave yet–our beta only lasted a week. I hope the kids love them and don’t try to hold them. Good luck!

Thanks! Peter just came out of bed to feed them and go back to sleep. I’m hoping his feeling of responsibility for them doesn’t go away

Oh dear!! Already? Well. I guess you are teaching them about the circle of life!
Hey… are you actually going to the gala? I saw that the tickets are $50 a person. I would have gone if not for that.
I also may be in Fargo on Sept. 26th… would love to meet the kids… so if I do come you’ll have to come over or something fun!!
Blessings-
