Have I Lost My Mind???

Well, the answer to that is simple. Yes.

As if I have nothing else to do, I have now accepted 12 (yes, 12) new pets into my house.

12 pets you say? Well, they're not quite pets yet -- but will be soon enough!

There is a story as to how we ended up with these 12 pets... You see, my kids were staying at my parents' house. While they were there, we discovered that a frog had gotten on top of my parents' pool cover, had layed eggs, and thousands of tadpoles were swimming on top of their pool cover! Since Brandon is totally obsessed with all things frogs & toads, we just HAD to rescue at least a few of these precious pets...

So, we scooped 12 tadpoles into some of the yuck water they were in, transported them back to our house, and put them in our old aquarium. It's sort of a summer science project, if you will. We opted for 12 with the assumption that not all of them would make it. Well, we're into day #3, and all are still going strong!

We'll keep you posted on their growth, but for now, here is my running tally of things to care for... 1 husband, 2 children, 2 cats, 1 dog, and 12 tadpoles... and a partridge in a pear tree. Aghhh!!

Enjoy!
