New Pets

This weekend Sydney's best friend Ella had her birthday party. And Ella loves Ariel ,the mermaid, so the theme of the party was ocean/under water/Ariel/fish/anything else that her mom could think of that went along with the ocean. I have to say, it was a great party. The kids searched in a sea of balloons for ocean creatures (which was a very creative idea if you ask me. They filled the dinning room with about 500 balloons and placed little sea creatures on the ground for the kids to search for.) There was cake, ice cream, and a good old fashioned fish story by Dr Seuss. Sounds like a great party doesn't it. That is .......................Yes, just wait until you hear this next part. My very good friend (Ella's mom) passed out the goody bags. Or should I say goody TANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, the goody bag/goody tank was GOLD FISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Please see pictures below while I try to catch my breath!)

Sydney with her little fish! This picture was taken this evening. That means that this fish has stayed alive for over 24 hours in our house. (With Sydney keeping a good watch on it!)

And here are Isaac and Sydney with their fish. Isaac is posing with some sort of dinosaur that loves to eat fish.

And a solo shot of Isaac with his fish.

The names of these fish change every couple of hours so when we settle on a single/individual name for each of them I will let everyone know. (Let's be honest, they will probably die before that happens!) But for now, we have two more members of the Gallegos family and Isaac and Sydney couldn't be happier. :) Overall it really was a fun birthday party and after actually getting two fish home, in fish tanks, without spilling them all over my suburban, I am happy that the kids have them. Thanks Laura!!!!!!!!!!!!!
