Today the boys had someone come into the school and do a fish disection with them. They knew ahead of time about it and were really looking forward to the fish excitement.
Eric jumped in the car and said, "Oh the fish were discusting! It was kings!" Then I heard about it all the way home from both the boys. Come to find out Eric's fish was the only female one. She had plenty of eggs I hear. Gregory told me he saw the fish brains. Eric explained that each fish had a heart and each was a different size. He seems amazed how small it's heart was. Apparently they pulled the gills out with their hands. When they are done with the disection they take the fish to the sled dogs and feed them to them. I think it was very educational for me as well. The really seemed to learn alot.
I suggested that now they are ready to help their Uncle Tim clean the fish in the summer. Eric piped in and said, "Yeah, only I will wear gloves."
We are very busy tonight getting prepared for tomorrow's Thanksgiving feast! The boys are excited about sleeping in and having lots of homecooked food. Daddy is looking forward to all the yummy food too!
Happy Thanksgiving to you all! May the Lord bless you on this wonderful holiday.
