The party was a HUGE success. The kids all had a BLAST, but I think the adults had even more fun. My sister can’t stop talking about how great it was. THAT, my friends, is a good kid’s party.

And our friend Kim gave Michael an Undersea Encounter fish tank, and a gift card to the pet store. So now we own a fish named “Mike”. He’s a Betta, so he’s alone in there. He does like to attack is own reflection, which makes him pretty amusing to watch.

I didn’t think I wanted any pets, but so far, this fish is really interesting. I’m actually glad to have him around! Maybe I can do a takeoff on Elmo’s World and I’ll be Elmo and Mike can be Dorothy, even though Mike is not a goldfish.
