as promised...petshop post

As I said a few weeks ago...I have a petshop post. For those of you who don't know what petshops are, they are the cutest little bobble head animals you've ever seen.
There is an episode of sex and the city in which Carrie (SJP) ponders where her money has gone. She knows she made some yet she feels she has nothing to show for it. Hmm...where could this be leading I wonder?

Over the last few months one of Abigail's favorite responses is "I guess you just don't like me" when I refuse to purchase the object of her desires at the store. To which I respond, "Abi, I guess must not like you at all, I guess nobody likes you. I guess thats why you have hundreds of $$$ of petshops at home in your room".

I thought I was exaggerating. Oops. As I was getting her room in order, I decided to do the dreaded calculations... and this my friends is my wall of parental shame. This is proof that my daughter is oh so very *liked*!

To all of you who have contributed to the addiction, we thank you! :-)









Now this is just the animals, there are also about 6 houses and an entire rubbermade container full of accessories! There are 93 pets on this shelf (this is not including the 3 I have hidden in the closet, the ones in the car or the ones Amelia has taken and hidden) and each pets costs about $3. 93 x 3 = TOO MUCH MONEY!

And there you have it hundreds of dollars of petshops.

those bobble head things are cute and scary at the same time... We need to find a new obsession for you guys - I'm thinking you might own most of the petshop bobble head animals. I guess that is better than owning that many real animals. :)
