Happy Birthday Haley!

Happy Birthday!  Now you are 8 years old and legally able to ride in the front seat of the car.  Here, let's celebrate-have a giant rat!
This is Trixie, who Haley decided was the luckiest guinea pig at Petland today, because she's the one I bought.  Um, I bet that's not what Trixie is thinking.  Trixie is more than likely thinking  "What the hell?"

We are mostly sure that Trixie is a girl, because the girl at Petland picked her up, took a look and told me "Well, I guess it's a girl because I don't see any balls."  And I was too shocked at her wordage to be offended, kind of like yesterday, when Jenny used the word "sharted" to describe what had taken place in my house while I wasn't there.  

Trixie is a big hit here of course, and she hasn't peed on anybody (yet) and she hasn't bitten anybody (yet) and we only had one scare when Skylar squeezed her head and she made a noise that sounds a lot like the sound Heidi makes when you accidentally step on her foot.  Honestly, I give this thing 2 weeks, 3 tops.  And if she ever gets away from us it's all over but the crying, because I'm telling you what, this thing can scoot.  It took 20 minutes for me to catch her earlier and she was in a 10x15 cage.  

This might go down in history as the best birthday present ever in our house.  Well, until February anyway, when Ashlyn's rolls around....hint hint-it's gonna be big!  When Scott's away, I BUY ANIMALS.

I was WONDERING when they could sit in the front seat. Seriously, you are our go to person for information on raising children (and going to the ER). Thanks!

That thing gives me the willies. Did Haley ride the cheerleader float in the parade?

Layla thinks you are the best mom ever and that she could live with you. So do I....so do I
