"Fish are Friends... Not Food"~

We got our first FISH AQUARIUM!

Funny story really...

(grandma-'My-Hope' I hope you laugh when you read this! ha ha)

Sooo, anyway...Hayden spent the night with grandma Friday night!

When I went to pick up my baby boy the next day guess what

Grandma had bought for babyboy to take home~

You guessed it...two brand new fish!!!

Well baby boy, Hayden had asked mommy a few weeks ago about buying

some fish to take home to our house...begged really, but thats not important! ;-)

Of course Mommy said, 'No' since we already have too many kitty-cat pets

to take of and Mommy doesnt have the patience for more animals/living things

in her life right now...but I didnt explain that to him~

I just told him that our kittys would try to eat the fish, so we couldnt have any

hoping that would suffice any arguement.

I did tell him to ask grandma to buy an aquarium for her house

and then they could have fishys over grandmas house!

(Thinking I was slick, I could pass the buck to grandma

or ELSE he would just forget about the fish idea altogether!)

Ohhh NOOO~~ He did not forget...

...Grandma heard baby boys pleas for a fish and answered his spoiled little wishes!

Except one major thing~ she bought him a little carrier to take the fish

home to HIS house and not keep them at Grandmas house!!!

(UGH!)

Well, the carrier thingy had a leak in it so we had to transport the

fish in a tupperware bowl back to my house...

(yes I got water on the floor of my car as I drove, dont even ask!!)

;-P

But when I got the fish home I didnt have time to run to Wally-World to get them

a proper home fish bowl to live in so they had to sleep overnight in a tupperware bowl~

I did feel bad, but I was also stressed about now having new things to take care of!!

UGH UGH!

Soo baby boy Hayden named his fish~ "Hayden"

I know just a little egotistical huh! hee

The other fish was for baby girl, Lyza and

she named her fish....

"PINK"

What else would she have named it, I mean come on!!

(you gotta know her and the inside joke of her PINK addiction though)

So we were the proud new parents of "Hayden" the fish and "Pink" the fish!

(But not for long)

I woke up the next morning to find baby boy looking at the fish in the bowl...

Hayden looked at me and the face read guilty all over it!!

I ran to look inside the bowl and found poor little Hayden fishy swimming lonesome

and half freaked out with panic attack written all over his face...

I turned to my baby boy and said, Hayden where is PINK the fish?

He looked at me with sad eyes and kinda gave me the I dont know shoulder shrug...

Again I repeat, HAYDEN WHERE IS PINK?!!

Sooo, Hayden my precious but wild child son begins to point to the kitchen sink

as he tells me 'Pink went down the sink' mommy!

UGH!

Soo, I shove my hand down our kitchen sink and frantically begin to feel for any signs of life...

I feel something mushy...ugh

So I pull it up...

it was only water logged bread...ewwww!

I feel again and again but no fishy...

Pink the fish somehow made it past the garbage disposal

and down the drain to his new home, lets just hope he made it back to the sea like NEMO did!

(I'm sticking to that for my conscience sake)

Soo now that PINK left us in the SINK

we just had poor little Hayden fishy freaked out by himself in the bowl.

I was bound and determined from that moment on I would protect and take care of

this lone little fish if it was my last thing to do on earth... UGH!

That meant that poor Hayden fishy could not live in a bowl if he was to survive!

Sooo....

Mommy (myself) travels to the Pet store today to get Hayden fishy new living

accommodations and maybe a new friend since he was mourning his loss of PINK!

Well, Mommy ends up dropping almost one whole $BENJAMIN$ at the Pet store!!

Oh my gosh...for a $.38 cent fish named~ Hayden!!

I mean Hayden fishy needed a home...so Hayden fishy got a new home...

A FISH MANSION IN BEVERLY HILLS is what he got!!

Plus Hayden fishy needed a new girlfriend...

soo we got a new fishy for $.25 cents which baby girl-'Lyza Jane named, "PURPLE"!

(hee hee ;-) she cracks me up!)

Soo, now we have our very first fish and fish aquarium in our house!!

Yeah for me!!

UGH

Soo I'd like to introduce you to our newest family members~

Hayden the Fishy (the orange goldfish)

and

Purple the Fishy (the white goldfish)

They seem to like their new MANSION home very much

and each other as well swimming everywhere together!

Ohhh and we JUST HAD TO BUY the $8.00
"SPONGEBOB PINEAPPLE HOUSE"
as well for our spoiled little fishy friends~ GEEZ!
Sooo now I'm called an 'AQUARIUMIST'
and this is my new hobby thrust onto my lap...
I will let you know how my new adventure pans out with
this whole 'AQUARIUMIST' title I have now.

The kids DO seem to like their new fishy friends...So for now it
worked out just fine and everyone is overall happy!

AND
As long as my baby girl, Lyza Jane doesnt turn into DARLA from the movie Finding Nemo~
and taps the glass repeatedly saying "Fishy, Fishy, Fishy!"

"FIND A HAPPY PLACE! FIND A HAPPY PLACE!!"



I have ONLY 1 goal and 1 goal only!!
That is...
TO NOT KILL THE FISH!!!!
(UGH)

Ohh and for my tank to look as close to Nemos Aquarium in the future as possible!
It looks like a pretty place to live! ;-)
