Meet the 2nd male in the fish family....Herbie
Now for the story:Audrey got a fish from a birthday party the morning we picked up my mom. They pleaded with me to let them keep it and and I caved. Since my mom knows and loves fish, we knew it was a perfect outing to do with Gram. We went to the pet store and bought all we needed for a fish. They decided on a name...Sunny. They girls were sooo excited. When the kids ran in the door ready to give Sunny a better home they found he was belly up. I guess goldfish need filters.
On Sunday my mom printed a sheet out with Beta Fish Facts and Claire and Hallie learned all out Beta Fish. My mom even did a quiz (my girls love stuff like that) and they studied (so cute) ;) On the way to school the next day they were spouting fish facts to Audrey Bird as we carpooled to school. I loved hearing little bits of the conversation. "Their water is room temperature...about 77 degrees." "The males have big and colorful fins, not the females." I love those girls and my mom.
For FHE we went back to the pet store and bought a beta fish (they seem to have a longer life expectancy). When we were leaving we saw another family we knew. They were getting a beta fish too. Their daughter had been also been to the party. And they also had a dead goldfish. I love it.
Julia LOVES saying hi to Herbie. The girls love him. They love that they have a pet. They love to feed him. They love to watch him while they eat dinner...and lunch...and breakfast. I will say that I successfully changed the water after she left and the fish is still alive. I think the 14 day money back for death guarantee is passing but the girls don't need to know that.
Welcome to the family, Herbie!

Classic. The dead goldfish was really funny. Sad... but funny. Just for the record... Tanner had a red Beta who he named... RED. It jumped out or the bowl one night and was crispy by morning. Cover the bowl!! (But it probably needs holes to breathe!) Congrats on Herbie. I will be watching for his birth announcement!

Fifth, here is one more gentle reminder to change your blog background. :)!!!!
Hooray for your new blog background!!! I love it. Way to go Leah!!!
Sorry for the dead fish. We forgot to warn everyone!
So You know that that title still gets me everytime I check out your blog right? :)
I'm very far behind on my blog reading but i was so happy to see so many new posts to read. Congrats on the half marathon. That is just amazing. Sound like you guys have been busy and will be very busy with visits this summer. Hopefully once abe gets his schedule we can get on your busy social calendar :) Cant wait to see those adorable girls. Taylor talks about her cousin Claire all the time. I think it is because her friend has a baby sister named Claire. So any time we mention texas she says "its hot in texas and i'm gonna see my cousin claire."
