Our Winter Break Friends...

Over Winter Break we have had two additions to our home. Each of my boys volunteered to bring their classroom pet home. It's the closest they will ever get to owning a fish. Why? I think fish are dumb. They just dirty a bowl, and I hate cleaning them. So there. Sorry fish. It's what I think. The boys have really enjoyed them though...but that doesn't mean we will be getting one:).

This is Bob. He's a beta. He came to us half dead, and I was really afraid we almost did him in. But... I cleaned his cage and moved him into the window seal and he seams to be coming along nicely. Thank heavens.

This is Star. She's a goldfish. She is the most active fish I have ever seen in my life. Swims all day. She sucks up the rocks into her mouth and then spits them back out, making noise all day long.

So here's proof. My boys had a fish... in fact they had two of them... for a whole two weeks. Now they can't ever claim otherwise...
