Bunny

We bought a bunny. I know it was spontaneous and the kids are probably still too young, but I have been wanting a pet for years. She is so cute. We are having trouble picking a name. We have thought of: Aiko, Jamima, Savannah, Luna, Orya... that's it for now. The favorite for everyone is, Aiko, but I don't think she looks like an Aiko (but I do like the name). Anyhow, she is a brown bunny with lots of white and black streaks in her fur. She is just small, but she will be a big, fat rabbit eventually.
I am worried about Emma's asthma, the bunny is okay, but she eats hay :( We will see what happens, if it is a problem-I will probably put the bunny outside.
Rabbits are useful, too, I can use her droppings for fertilizer, and if there was a long term emergency I guess we could breed rabbits to eat (Doesn't sound very good tho)
She can litter train, so I have been doing a lot of work trying to get her to go in a litter box. She does, but she is still a baby. When rabbits are full grown and fixed they litter train very quickly.

Fridge Adventure

Today, we cleaned all the food out of the fridge. I thought we had lots of food, but actually we hardly have any food :) There always seems to be a million dressings and toppings, then some fruits and veggies, and other misc. foods. There is also the pile of foods I don't think I really want to eat, but I feel bad throwing it away, so it stays in the fridge until I convince someone to eat it or it rots, in which case, I don't feel so bad throwing it away :) While I was looking Evan got his hands on a jar of homemade salsa (almost gone) and he threw it--glass shards and salsa all over the tile. Good thing it was almost gone. Of course, the kids sat in the fridge with their feet hanging out while I cleaned up the mess.I love my kids, mess and all!

Spices on the Loose

Today, I decided to tackle the giant paper pile. It is the biggest paper mess I've ever, ever had. I don't think I've gone through all my papers (and the junk that got mixed in) for at least a year! Isn't that awful. Well, moving in with my parents didn't help. Anyhow... so I'm going through papers and the kids are very quiet--Hmmm... what are they up to? I walk out to see and ... oh, wow, Emma had climbed onto the counter and was pouring all the spices all over the floor, counters, and in a monkey cookie jar! Wow, it smelled like pizza and mustard. Worse yet, they used a potty training potty as a stool and it was covered with spices. I picked it up to pour the spices that were on top into the sink, alas, the potty had been used recently :( and out came the pee with the spices. I was in shock. I cleaned up the whole mess. But now my spices are bit messed up, and some are completely gone. I will admit it was funny. And I got to test my spice skills playing what lid (which had the name on it) goes with which jar? Smell it, taste it, look at it. The only two I was really unsure of were Savory and Oregano... I hardly use those ones, so I guess we will be alright it they are switched :) I also didn't realize that parsley smells really awful, like rabbit food or cage lining! So that was my adventure for the day :)

I think I would like to try to blog again. I'm very lousy at it so far. But that doesn't mean I can't keep trying...
