100th Day of School

Today is Leo's 100th day of school. They make a big deal of this in Kindergarten since they count every day during calendar time...count by 10s, etc. He had to dress up as a "100 Year Old Person" for school today.

While we're showing you our costume, we thought we'd show our new pets, too. Leo really wants a pet, but I just can't take anything else that has to be fed or cleaned up after right now. So...we now have a menagerie of low maintenance pets...

The Ant Farm. This farm is pretty cool - you can plug it in and lights shine up through it and you can really see the ants at work. We ordered Harvester Ants b/c they have big mandibles and you can see them carrying the gel up to the top as they make the tunnels.

"Sea Monkeys" (aka, Brine Shrimp)We thought these had all died for awhile, but they're alive and well. We think they're reproducing, so they must be very happy here.

This is our newest acquisition. Gran found these "triops." We just put the eggs in this morning, so I'll have to report back on their progress. The teabag thing in the corner is a water conditioner. The packaging says they will have three eyes - can't wait to see.
