BAMBOOZLED

At our old house we had a fish tank. Well at the new house I really didn't want to deal with a fish tank. Heavens we have three dogs, a hamster and a little fish tank with one apustomus that was left from the other tank. Well my husband has been making comments lately about setting up the tank. This is not a small tank we are talking 60 gallons. I told him no because all of the wood around the house is black and this fish tank is oak. We have no oak in our house!!!! Last week my husband comes literally running in the house to tell me there is a 60 gallon fish tank on Craig's List for less the $100 with the stand and all the pumps. (If I have not mentioned it before, I HATE CRAIG'S LIST!) Of course Rylan is standing there just as excited as Jordan. I told him if THEY were going to do it all they could have it. Jordan called the lady and it turns out that they lived right down the street from us. The boys went and picked it up. I wanted to put it in the kitchen breakfast nook, but I lost that discussion because the boys wanted it were you could sit and look at it. It is now behind my couch, on the carpet. I look at it as a good excuse to get new carpet when water gets every where. The boys went to the pet store and got a ton of fish. Not to mention Jordan has come home almost every day with either more fish, plants or something for the tank. All in all Jordan and Rylan are so happy and that's all that matters.The water is still settling after filling up the tank
