Meet Our New Pets

O.K. so this week, Nicholas' fish, Cow, died. He was a little feeder fish Mrs. Slone gave him in class well over a year ago. He lived happily munching bread crumbs in a bowl in our kitchen. We had a funeral for him. Nick cried, Megan cried. They were heartbroken. Then we had a turtle for a day but we were afraid to keep it since some animals don't do so well in captivity. We let him go. Megan cried again. Sooooo....

If you take three kids to the pet store to replace a pet, you will come home with three pets ;) Meet Cow Jr. (Nick's; the white one with a red head), Mrs. Cow (Megan's; the dark orange one), and Comet (Brandon's; the light orange one). They are all now occupying Cow's bowl and munching on bread crumbs :)

A Surprise

Yesterday, Todd found a little something while turkey hunting and brought it home for the kids.

A little box turtle! We kept him over night for the kids to enjoy a bit...he is quite a character! Then we set him free today.
