New pets

A few weeks ago we adopted three baby rats from a local small pet rescue. Charlotte and Grace have begged for a pet for along time. We have talked about everything from a puppy (not going to happen) to a goldfish. We finally all agreed on rats, and I think it was a great choice for us. Their names are Rose, Violet and Petunia. Rose is the white one and she is the calmest and was the quickest to let us handle her. They all have nice little rat personalities, and I think they are getting used to the chaos of three little kids trying to play with them.

I guess you're probably either a rat person or you're not. For all of you out there who like rats...aren't they cute?!

Tori is sitting on my lap and she is saying "Good" and "Cat". :) Now I am typing comments and she is mad because she wants the CAT back. :) Um me, not a rat person. Jim - loved them and had them as pets when he was little. He would agree that they are fabulous pets.

Make that 4 little kids once Kat's on the scene. She will LOVE them. We'll see if she can get them stuck in her hair like her (zhu zhu) pet hamster.

Rats, cats, same thing! I am glad Tori liked the pictures. I am also glad I'm not the only one who gets told how to navigate around the web by a little co-pilot on my lap :)

Can't wait to have Kat over to play. We're really looking forward to seeing you guys!
