A new addition...

Well, tonight we added a new addition to our family, in fact, it is 2 new additions.  Tonight we went to a carnival put on by a local elementary school.  Campbell played a game and won 2 live goldfish!  He was so excited.  He named them Nemo and "his Daddy" (which I believe is Marlin, or at least that's what I told him it was).  So we carted the plastic bag around the carnival while we played a few more games then we stopped at Publix on the way home to get some fish food.  He wanted to hold the fish on the way home, but we thought that might be a bad idea.  When we got home we had to find a home for them.  We put them in a pitcher because we don't have a fish bowl, and we fed them and told them goodnight.  Here's hoping they are still swimming in the morning!!  I really don't want to have to explain what happened to them just yet, so everyone keep your fingers crossed that these are freakishly strong goldfish who will live for quite a while.  Either way, Campbell is really excited about our new additions to the family.  Sorry, no pictures.  Both our cameras have dead batteries right now--I'm so devastated because Campbell was so cute feeding his fish for the first time.  Maybe we'll stage a picture tomorrow!

  • Make sure to keep your eyes on the goldfish, so if they start taking a "nap"--you can quickly run to Wal-Mart and grab two more. I think this little shindig could keep going for years and year:)
