We went to JoAnna's today to play. Carter got a fish tank for his 3rd birthday. Well, about 2 months ago, we were at the house for a little birthday dinner. Carter proudly took the kids upstairs & showed off his fish tank. All four kids were upstairs playing while Nate & I chatted it up with JoAnna & Andy, downstairs.
The next thing we heard was Carter coming down the stairs saying, "Daddy, you need to give Jasper a whippin'." We thought, "Uh oh..what does that mean?" So up the stairs JoAnna & Nate went. Inside that cute tank was the contents of a jumbo sized box of sweet tarts, an Elmo backpack with poor Elmo's face plastered against the front of the tank (Nate said it freaked him out because that was the first thing he saw...poor Elmo) and approximately 20 or so random toys. Yep...all that in a normal sized fish tank. After some talking, the kids fessed up. Miraculously, every fish survived. Those sweet tarts are probably like cocaine to those fish.
We hadn't been back to the house since then. We'd meet at my house or meet at the park, etc. So to put my mind at ease today, Jo Jo taped the lid with scotch tape & removed it when we left.

The visual of Elmo's face staring eerily out of the tank kinda creeped ME out!
OMG! HAHA Mine would have done the same thing, and maybe also tipped it over on its side.
Loren...lets just say I was glad I wasn't the one to walk up the stairs to find that horrific image. It is pretty creepy...:)
Deb, that is too funny! Maybe its a good thing we don't live close...6 kids who are all alike...Yikes! :)
