We Had a Pet

In my pursuit of cleaning out practically every closet in the house and trying to reduce the items we possess (with some, but not much luck), I actually put an item to use! We received a very large vase as a wedding gift, which has since sat in our china cabinet for seven years. I pulled it out and put it on and end table, empty, to see what Simon would do with it. I told him we might get a fish, what else would go in a very large vase? So he proceeds to find a toy fish and puts it in. What else could we do but go get fish! So, we headed to Jim's Pet World, our local pet store, and came home with a blue beta fish. After dinner we had a family outing to deck out the new fish's home with colored pebbles, a plant, a fan tailed goldfish and little feader fish (12 cents a piece). Simon loved the fish and looked at them all day, before and after naps and bedtime. If it was up to him, he would have fed them all day long! He kissed them good night and gave them breakfast each morning. He helped change the water after one week. Unfortunately, our experiment lasted only 2 weeks. So now, according to Simon, the fish are "hiding". Enjoy the pics and keep posted to see if the fish come out of "hiding"!
