Linking up for the first time with My Little Life for Five Question Friday.
1. Is love at first site possible?
Yes! And in all forms!!!
Form 1: My husband and I were 12 and 13 when we first layed eyes on each other. We were so young but I knew that he was going to be my husband some day!
Form 2: I found a picture of my dear little pugger Katie online and I was in love! I had to have her! She has been the best little dog I could have ever hoped for!
Form 3: Come on ladies......you can't tell me that you didn't fall in love with your baby the second you saw that little crazy skeleton photo! And even if you didn't, you definitely fell in love as soon as they were born.
2. How did you choose your pet's name?
Our first pet, a cat named Joey, was given to us so he was already named. The girl who gave him to us was obsessed with Friends so she named him Joey after the character. Our second pet, a cat named Kitty, was named Kitty because we just weren't original enough to come up with anything else!
Our first dog, a Pug named Katie, was also already named when we got her. She was already 7 months old too so we didn't change the name. I wanted to change it to Bella because I love that name and, honestly, I wanted to name my first daughter Kaydee. My husband wouldn't budge.
Our second dog, a Pug named Utley, is named after Chase Utley. My husband is a HUGE Phillies fan. He wanted to name the dog Buddy. So unoriginal. I suggested Utley. It stuck.
Our third dog (yes we have a zoo), a Black Lab named Camo, was supposed to be a hunting dog so he got a hunting name. No, he is not really a hunting dog and I think my husband has abandoned the idea because 1. he doesn't have time to train him 2. the dog thinks he is a lap dog 3. the dog is literally the biggest baby I have ever seen.
3. What are you considering giving up?
Soda. I'm actually in the process of it right now. During my pregnancy, I didn't really drink any soda. Well, at first I drank a lot of root beer. But then I just stopped drinking it. My husband and I both said we didn't really want to drink it at all, even after the baby was born.
Of course you say that. I don't drink a ton of soda anymore but it's still more than I should. So, I stopped drinking it at work and I limit myself to one at home. The only exception to this rule is when I am adding a little Captain to the soda :)
4. How much do you pay your babysitter?
We are still in that nice stage when our friends want to babysit because our daughter is just awesome. I'm sure that when she gets older, we will have to start actually paying someone but for now, it's FREE!
5. How 'young' is old enough to babysit?
If it's an older sibling I would probably say 12 is my cut off. I'm not sure I'd be comfortable leaving my kids alone with even a sibling younger than that. I definitely wouldn't be OK with leaving my kids with anyone else who is younger than 15 or 16. I think I was 15 when I started babysitting.

Yes soda seems to be the hardest to give up. I can't give up my tea.
