We've got a new pet!

Besides the fact that we will have 5 new butterflies in just a couple of more days, we now have a pet fish! The kids are still at their grandma's, we go get them in the morning so they don't know yet. At our wedding yesterday, part of the table decorations were fish bowls with Beta fish in them. They had a table set up where you could "adopt" a fish. Two of the bride's cousins were sitting at the table, in charge of the adoptions. They were so sweet, and I found out after talking to them, they are homeschooled, and it was nice to talk to teenage boys that have been homeschooled and get their perspective. They were really nice, and they talked me into adopting one of the fish....so the kids will be excited when they get home! We had a 30 gallon fish tank the whole time we lived in Warren that we sold when we moved, and they have mentioned from time to time that they miss them. I will have pictures soon, I am sure! And, the mom sent home 3 little favor pails for our kids that had some goodies in it. That was so sweet of her! And this has been my high maintenance bride, I feel bad for dreading it now! We are taking the pails along to the kids tomorrow for treats on the road to my g-ma's. They will really think they got something cool!
