Look who joined our family today

Maddie has not entered many drawings in her lifetime, but I think she has won 90% of the ones she she has entered. It started with the library reading program 2 years ago, her name got picked to take home a hamster. Last year at the carnival her name was drawn for both a door prize and a piggy bank with $80 in it. And today at school her name got drawn to take home one of 3 Anole lizards. She named him bashful. I hope he enjoys the preschool!

Garen (who is terrified of all animals) bravely came to the pet store with us to get a warming lamp and some live crickets. He agreed to go in with the knowledge that all animals would be caged up. He was fine until a little girl got one of the kittens out, he turned around and noticed that baby kitten and scream and ran for the door. The other customers looked around to see what could have terrified a boy so badly. I think most of them never figured it out cuz all they could see was a tiny kitten. Needless to say Garen waited in the car while Maddie and Sophie petted the kitten and some puppies.

The preschoolers are going to flip when they see the A-hole. Seriously, the best name for an animal. Also, Garen, I'm with you... Do not get God's creatures around me either, even kittens!
