New Family Member

We finally made the decision this weekend to get Kendall a pet. Kyle begged for a dog....a big dog....and I voted for no pets. We compromised and got a beta fish. Kendall was excited for about the first 20 minutes, and now she doesn't pay him a whole lot of attention. His name is Nemo....which I am sure is a very common fish name. I tried to tell her that Nemo is a boy and is orange, and our fish is a girl and is blue...so Nemo wasn't a great name...but she insisted so we have a female fish called Nemo. We found a really cool fish bowl that hangs on the wall, so we put him in her room. She talks to him occasionally and is proud to show him off to anyone who comes over. I know that it is good for her to have something to take care of. Kyle is really wanting a dog...a rottweiler to be exact. I just can't stand the thought of dodging dog poop every time I go in the backyard. Not to mention food and vet bills. I can barely afford the kids that I have!!:) I will post some pictures later of Nemo.
Today is my first day back at work and it was hard to leave the girls. Why can't I just win the lottery and stay home forever!!!
