So recently I decided to (against my better judgement) get the kids a goldfish that "they really really wanted so much." Cute little guy although he is a goldfish he is black with the cute big bulgie eyes. Well we have had him for a couple weeks and he is still alive. LUCKILY, poor guy had a rough start to life. Alyssa held the bag the first night we got home and Flung the poor thing across the room, he bounced at least three times and I covered my eyes thought for sure the bag would break open. So the other night the kids come running up "Mommy we fed the fish and gave him water(Raphey is his name) he was hungry." I said without thinking anything of it "thanks for feeding the fish." A while later I went downstairs to see the 4 inch layer of fish food spread across the bottom of the tank and an empty bottle of the PH balancer and an empty bottle of fish food.
OMG I love kids, life would be pretty boring without them!! No worries the tank was cleaned, the fishies ecosystem was brough back in balance and for today the fish is still alive, the fish food is on a higher shelf and we have had yet another fish feeding lesson deciphering the difference between a pinch of fish food and the whole bottle!
Currently Redefining Myself and Loving It!!

Cute story. It's amazing what a kid can do alone - and then it's mind bending what they can do with a partner in crime! Hence why I have walked into a bathroom flooded when all someone was doing was "going potty" while the other one watched. Poor Raphey.
Oh my! I am suprised the fish is still alive! We keep our fish and food way up high to avoid that situation!
Awesome! Just wait until it dies and you have to flush it...will you just get them another without them knowing or will you actually have a "he's going to visit his family in the sewer" talk. :) Love those two! Give em big squeezes for me. Sorry I missed out on the fun this past weekend...hope to see you saturday at the corn maze with them. :)
