Joining the Merrill family....

Meet Moe!

This is Moe. The other day in preschool we had a lesson on classroom pets and the teacher teaching bought some little goldfish to put in the sensory table for the kids to play with. At the end of the day she didn't want them so me and another teacher offered to take them. Out of the 20 original fish she bought, 8 survived. Moe is now the only survivor of the whole crew! Of the 4 I brought home 1 was dead by the time I got home and the other 2 were gone by the end of the night. We didn't name him but since he was still alive yesterday it was time to name him. Dillon picked the name without even a second thought...Moe. Moe seems very fitting given the black stripe on his back that resembles a mohawk.

Hopefully your fish fairs better than your frog! Speaking of which did you ever find his little skeleton?! ;D At least a fish can't jump out!

The frog that Emily has from your wedding is still alive, I actually saw it move and it doesn't even get fed or the water cleaned! amazing that it has survived. Have fun with Moe.

Haha. Yeah, your probably safer with a fish than a frog since fish can't jump. I hope he survives a little while so you can enjoy him!
