Aquarium

Okay, so Meg and Ash got Craig an aquarium for his birthday (on Dec. 5th) and about a week later we put all the plants, rocks and water in, to let it acclimatize or whatever fish tanks have to do for a few days before you put the fish in it. Well, a few days turned into a few weeks and then a month. So basically we've had this big fish tank just sitting in our room with the rocks and water and plants, and the filter running for a month, but no fish. We looked like psychotic control freaks. Like, "hello, we wanted to have a fish tank but can't stand the smell of fish."
Anyway, tonight for FHE we loaded the fam up in the car and drove down to petsmart to "buy our fish." It was pretty fun until some psychopath brought a 5 foot boa constrictor into the store. (I thought the whole allowed to bring your pets into the store thing was cool until that moment.) So there I am having this mini panic attack in the isle, trying to come up with escape plans in the event that the snake should be let loose. None of them seemed very good especially since we had all three of the kids with us, so, as you can imagine, we don't quite have the quick get away thing working for us. Sorry Craig, you're definitely not Jason Bourne.
