Meet Our Newest Family Members!

So I mentioned in my earlier post that we won a "take home" prize at the AWANA Family Fun Fair!

Meet Ariel (or that is what her name is until Allison thinks of a better name)



So we've added a goldfish to our family! Allison won it by throwing a ping pong into the bowl! I was not at all prepared to take home a fish! No bowl, no food! Initially, Jacob was o.k. with his sister's prize, but then proceeded to cry most of the way home that evening. So.... meet Blacky! He is the one in the forefront of the picture. He is appropriately named as the tips of his fins are black. Ariel is completely gold! The picture also shows their new home - bigger bowl complete w/ an octopus cave and pump!

Any guesses on how long this will last?

Hmmm... well our fish are still alive and kicking in a dirty bowl (that has yet to be cleaned) and the bowl is the size of a coffee mug. So, I am guessing your fish will live a long, healthy, and prosperous life given their grand accommodations. :)

I guess I'm the only party pooper mom that didn't let her kids take the fish home.

Please don't tell Baileigh!
