Busy times


Not just for me but for everyone I'm sure. If it's not sports day it's excursion day, or cub break up or art class break up. Or dance break up. Or school sleepover. Or friend's sleepover. Dance concert. You get the picture, busy busy times! We went camping over the weekend with friends, that was a good break, will post pictures when I get them off the camera! We've also had a pet explosion at our house, much to my husband's disgust! Indigo is a sensitive child who feels things deeply (read tantrums and challenging behaviour) so I thought if she had something to cuddle and care for it would be a good outlet for her. So Esther the guinea pig came to our family. I didn't want her to be lonely and I didn't want Crystal to be left out so we also got Poppy the bunny. Then the next day the place I ordered chicks from months ago rang and said they'd hatched, so Tiger, Speckles, Cutie and Freckles enter the picture. By this time my husband was saying "NO MORE PETS!" which I was happy to agree with, but I wanted a bigger cage to house them so I put a 'free cage wanted' ad on www.Melbourne.Gumtree.com.au and the very next day was generously offered a free large cage - with a free large rabbit. Welcome Bella! We already had two dogs and six chickens, so now at 15 our pet family is complete. (For now.)
