Our New Pets

For Monkey's birthday he got a fish tank from Grandma and Popa. Since we were going through some crazy times we decided that we would wait until M could be home to go with us to get the stuff for the tank and the fish. This way, even though he missed the party (I did too), he could enjoy watching Monkey pick out and set it all up. 


Petsmart helped us pick out what type of fish would be the best for 'first' fish. They said that they would probably die quickly because of it being a new tank but we are 2 weeks ago today and they are still here. We are questioning how much longer Casper (the white fish) will make it. He doesn't seem to be doing so well. Spike (the orange fish) seems to be doing well although he's not happy that his friend is sick. I'm thinking we might head to the store this week and get another friend for him just in case. 


Anyway, Monkey picked out which fish he wanted and then we came home and once they were in the tank we wanted him to name them. He wasn't interested in coming up with his own names for the fish so I gave him 3 names for the white fish and M did 3 for the orange one. That's how we ended up with Casper and Spike. I'm really happy that he has his own pet that he picked out. It's teaching him responsibility because he has to feed him every morning and every night. He's doing really good with remembering to do it. Of course having fish just gives me one more thing to take care of. Like remembering every night to give them medicine because they are sick and then the cleaning the tank. At least that's only every 3 months. 

Overall, I love having our new pets. They are great for Monkey and I even love sitting and watching them swim around. It was a great birthday present for him!

  1. Timmy's first pet was a fish too:) Thankfully he hasn't realized that this isn't the exact same fish that he's had since the beginning...a subject I didn't want to explain to a (then) 2 year old.

Holiday Traditions?

I'm so excited to be co-hosting with Melissa! I have been a long time reader & finally got around to co-hosting! I can't wait to see all of your holiday traditions & I'm sure add a few to my list too! Holiday Traditions? What are those? I'm not sure we have any set up in our family. We never really had anything that we did every year growing up either. So I'm not surprised that we haven't thought about setting anything up for our kids either.

I'm taking the challenge!

I'm taking the challenge and I'm going to talk about the subject many people hush about! SEX!  Normally this would be completely outside my comfort zone (truthfully not sure I will post this as I'm typing) but I figure why not?!?  Being married makes it OK to talk about! We get so much from media that maybe it's about time that more people talk about the appropriated subjects of Sex!  First, let me start off by saying I did not wait until I was married. Looking back I wish I did because I have baggage, my hubby has baggage, and truthfully this subject has been the main topic of the majority of our fights for the past 5 years.  Just recently I started caring more about what I was wearing to bed just like  Mrs. T, Naturally  is talking about.  I'm sure must men would love it if their wives went to bed wearing something like this ------------------>  (I know my hubby would) however when you have little ones around (a...
