two


That is the number of hamsters we have been through since Christmas. It was believed that the first hamster died of post traumatic stress disorder. It was handled a lot and died. So we bought hamster # 2 and we did not pick it up, we fed it, watered it, he (we are assuming) ate from our hand, we petted him but did not pick him up. Ben went to feed him. He started off his morning conversation "Wake up little buddy, I have your breakfast". Then came the tears. It is at moments like these that being a mom is tough. The whole family would like another pet. This spring we are looking into a dog, chickens and bunnies for now we have an empty cage and a 9 year old disappointed boy.

If you have this problem and follow this formula your results will be..... That is not to say that there is not instruction and warning and tho...

2 year olds are so much fun

Our current two year old is so much fun. I caught her writing on a bin and asked her for the marker. She says "no problem" and handed me the marker. There isn't a 3 syllable word she can't say. Being number 10 she has a role models left and right. We had to relocate our sugar container to higher ground to keep sticky fingers out.

the worst thing he could think of

We were reviewing the Passover story and I asked what happened when the Pharoah refused to let the Isrealites go. Josiah yelled out. " oh, I know, he sent frogs, bugs, and carrots". Carrots!!! I just love moments like these.
