Misty the Guinea Pig

This weekend we had another 4 legged creature visit our home. Lawson's class Guinea Pig, Misty. It was our turn to take care of her and the kids were overjoyed to have her visit. At first I was a little bit leery, worried, scared, but it was a wonderful experience. Lawson did an excellent job remembering the rules of caring for Misty and all that it entailed.

Here are some pictures of our visitor. Lawson was SO EXCITED!!


Lawson really is such a nurturer!!


Watching Misty...


Wesley he just loved saying "hi, guiny pi, hi!!"


These guys were so gentle with her!!



This experience reminded me of when I had 2 Hamster (at two different times) lovingly called "Fluffy Cotton Kenna" and "Bandit" it is fun to have a creature, but I could tell the kids are NO WAY ready for an caged creature because the newness of Misty wore off by Saturday. I could totally see mommy (me) being stuck cleaning the cage. So with that revelation Thanks Mom and Dad for letting me have a hamster and cleaning out their cages when I got too busy to do it!!! You guys are the best!
