Just thought I would throw in a recent picture of Halle! She changes every day! She has really started smiling a ton this week and coos all the time! It is so fun! The kids are loving her!
Friday morning Zach woke up with a brilliant idea to get pet fish! We told him if he wanted to spend his own money then that was fine! Because these little fish needed a place to live! Well, he talked Brinley and Boston into using their money too, so they all put their money together and added it up, they had over a $100. We told them they didn't need to spend it all, and agreed to take them to PetSmart. Little did we know what we were getting ourselves into! We walked in and Morgan told the guy what the kids were wanting to do. He told us right off that if we wanted the fish to live we were going to have to invest in a nice tank... around $120 Morgan and I looked at each other and thought... there is NO WAY we are letting them spend ALL of their money on these fish! But, they were also set on getting these fish TODAY and there was no goin back! So, after looking at different tanks, and going back and forth trying to decide which tank they were going to get, and driving the PetSmart guy CRAZY they finally decided on a 10 gallon tank that was $65. I couldn't believe how excited they were picking out everything for it! They each got to pick their fish and they all wanted Glo fish! They already had their names picked out and everything! Well, we had everything we needed and just needed to get the fish! Well, little did these kiddos know that they weren't going to go home with any fish that day! The guy told us that we needed to go home and set up the tank and get everything working right and the water to the right temperature and THEN come back and get the fish! My kids were devastated! My Brinley was in tears and they just didn't understand why they couldn't bring the fishies home now! Why is it every kids dream to have a pet fish? I think they all go through that sooner or later right? We are the mean parents who don't let our kids have pets... or should I say that I'm the mean mom! Sorry kids! We came home and Morgan helped them set up the tank so it was running smooth! We had/have no idea about fish, but learned probably more than we wanted to in the hour that we spent at PetSmart! We promised the kids that the next day we could go back and get their fish! So, after Zach's football game, we went! They were so excited and had so much fun watching them in their new little home! I think that it is so cute that they put their money together and wanted to get these little fish together! We'll see how long the excitement lasts!
Brinley wanted to hold them in the bag. Boston was afraid he was going to drop them!
The kids and their new tank!
They chose 2 Electric green, 1 red, and 1 orange!
