Nothing Lasts Forever

I forgot to mention that when we went to the 4-H Fair, both the boys won a fish. I was excited for them because Kaleb, especially, really wanted to come home with a fish. On the other hand, I knew that I would end up having to clean the fish bowl and that was just ONE more thing to add to my list of things to do. Honestly, I didn't think the fish would last but only a few days. I wish that I had taken some pictures, but it never crossed my mind. Surprisingly, the fish have survived until today....that makes it 3 weeks. The boys went to feed the fish and found them dead. They both were really OK with it. We explained to them that there was a chance that they may not live for very long. Zarek did say that he was a little sad. We said "good-bye" and flushed them down the toilet. Now they keep talking about getting two more. I guess we'll be taking a trip to the pet store.
