Lee got the kids a venus fly trap, one each, so they could have a pet. I really think he got them for himself, he has been feeding them mosquitoes with great enthusiasm. But like most things that come into this house, I end up being the caretaker. I really enjoyed the guinea pig and I would love to get another one, except that I was the only one that really cared about poor Eliza.
It's funny how invested in the plants I have become. I cut out the directions and have referred to them a number of times. I have even googled Venus fly trap to look for picutres of what they are supposed to look like. So far, our plants do not look very healthy. I will continue to care for them and clip thier leaves when they turn black. Lee will keep feeding them bugs, at least they do not need a college fund.
