Saving Up For Fishies!!

A while back Cameron told us he wanted to get a fish. We told him that he could get one when he had saved up enough money... we counted what he already had in his piggy bank and told him he had to save a total of $20 (even though it cost more to get the fish and tank) in order to be able to get one. So every time we went to Walmart we would go look at the fish and talk about how he was getting closer to having enough money. I would give him some if he helped me with chores or did something nice for Connor, or just any little task that we figured was worth a small payment. So today he finally reached his goal of having $20 in his piggy bank. So we rolled his coins and took them to the bank. He came in with me to exhange the rolls for cash and he thought that was pretty fun. Then him and Connor each got to choose a fish they wanted. Cameron wanted an all black one and Connor chose a gold and black one. I asked Cameron what he wanted to name the fish (since Connor cant really name his yet) and he said Phineas and Ferb lol. So Camerons fish is Phineas and Connors is Ferb :)

So for now the tank just has two little tiny fish and nothing else, but Im sure there will be more in the future!

  2. I hope the new fish live longer. Who would have guessed it would be so hard to keep fish alive.
