Sad day :(

Do you remember my pet fish BOB?

Well, this morning I went to his tank to feed him and well...he was gone :(

We knew it will happen eventually, but he was with us since July and we were taking pretty good care of him and it was just.so.unexpected!

The kids were told, we showed them the "body". Gabriel wanted to know why and how. Michelle just started sobbing hard saying that it was her fault for not playing with Bob yesterday. She seems ok now and she agreed to have him buried tomorrow.

The funeral will be held tomorrow evening on our porch. We are going to gently put Bob in a tiny box and buried him in a pot with potty soil. We will plant wild flowers on it so when spring comes and the pretty flowers will bloom, we can look at them and remember our little friend.

New addiction to the family....

.....and nope, I'm not pregnant if that is what you're thinking.
We just got a Betta fish: meet Bob

Isn't he adorable? He's be living on our kitchen counter next to the sink for about a month now.
I must admit, I thought my kids would kill him by feeding him too much or giving him an heart attack by tapping on the glass all the time, but I guess he likes that!

Now I want to crochet fishes!
