As if we didn't have enough to do!

HA! So this weekend we're out and about and I say to Dwayne, I need to get some food for the gerbils, let's run into Petsmart. We walked out with a 46 gallon fish tank and the whole setup, and of course the gerbil food (we're not complete flakes!). Yeah, so we can't add the actual fish for at least two weeks the water needs to balance out so the fish we do buy don't just die. Though evidently our children won't be completely heartbroken if and when we do have a fish die because they were laughing HYSTERICALLY at the dead fish in one of the tanks at Petsmart!! Emma (in her sick little giggle that I adore!) kept saying where's the dead fish again? That dead fish is SO FUNNY! Can we get the dead fish? People around us must have thought we were freaks. So until mid October this is what we have to look at, a fishless fishtank! It is looking quite nice though. The kids picked the gravel color, Dwayne (and I, I guess) chose the large coral piece, Emma chose the bubbling treasure diver who's treasure chest goes UP and down, and Peyton chose the animal skull. He seems to think the bala shark we're going to put in the tank will like to sleep in the skull. HA.
