1. Drama in the Fish Tank
As we sat around yesterday afternoon, Hannah and Hudson doing homework, and Rob and I studying language/returning emails etc.... Rob noticed Joyce, our yellow fish wasn't moving. (We have been very pleased with our fish and tank so far, the 5 little fish have gone on to bigger seas, but our 2 big fish and 2 sucker fish are alive and well...after a month.) However, yesterday afternoon, we thought Joyce's life was coming to an end. You see, the parents' contribution to the fish tank was a big bridge the fish can swim through and around...really pretty. The problem came when Joyce got stuck in under the bridge in a little cave. Rob noticed her, opening her mouth widely "gasping". We all quickly went to the tank and Rob lifted up the bridge, but she was so stuck he didn't think he could get her out without snapping her in half....and the kids were present, so that was going to be TRAUMATIC!!! After a little bit of moving her around, he finally freed her. She looks like she has been through a war.
A lot of her pretty yellow scales have been scraped off, and she is very banged up. Her eye was scraped up on the side of the bridge. She survived the night and is swimming around today as normal....WHEW....for now, we are all good!

Yesterday, Hudson came home from school proudly showing off his new Crystal he found. He was so proud. He had found it inside a rock and it was definitely "rare". Rob examined it and told him he it was just glass and it was very sharp. Hudson, however being the expert, explained the hard work put into breaking open a rock, and glass didn't come inside of rock, only rare crystals. (hmmmm.....ashphalt?) So, while out to dinner with friends last night, the "crystal" shows up at the dinner table and ends up in Rob's possession (something about 5 children and a sharp piece of glass, um I mean crystal). Well, we got home last night, and low and behold we were minus Hudson's rare find. He was devestated becasue he said, "This was a once in a lifetime crystal, I will never find it again." Drama. Chances are he will find another next week.
3. Cookie Drama
One of my sweet tutors brought me cookies today from Wal-Mart. She told me if I liked them I could buy them any time I wanted becasue Wal-Mart always has them. I asked her what kind they were and she said chicken...WHAT?!?! CHICKEN?!?! As my mind wandered I thought she is offering me a chicken cookie and I am going to have to eat it right here. And she wants me to take the rest home to my family...they will be thrilled. I asked her if there were really chickens in them and she said, "oh yes!, see?" So, I ate one, and yep....not good. I got it all down. I wonder if they feel this way when I bring my cookies to them?

Hudson, I hope you find your very rare crystal.
I cannot even think of anything to say about chicken cookies. Except a little throw up came in my mouth when I read that!!!
The rare crystal just cracks me up. One man/boy's treasure...
Sometimes I feel like this fish! So glad there are Great Hands to get me out of my stuck places!
Hudson, YOU are a rare crystal!
