Mrs. McCaw and her daughter entrusted their guinea pig to us for about 10 days while their fam went on vacation.  

I thought it was a nice gesture from to me to Gabriel--- consider it part of his birthday gift.  He and Jubi were both thrilled about keeping her.  And I can't deny that I thought it was so cool that mrs. McCaw thought of my sweet boy to care for her pet.  

(she told me after their play that G reminds her of her son). 

So having a pet  --- it wasn't that bad--- but oooooo I  do not want a g.pig. Not really any pet.  I don't like cleaning up poop--- especially from an animal.  I don't know when I'd ever feel The desire to clean up anything at all after an extra living creature.  (besides Roy and my babies). 

But.  It was fun while it lasted--- especially knowing that it would be over soon. Haha. 

And dadgummmm.  I didn't snap one pic of the kids feeding/ petting her.  

Jubi would squeal every time DM would touch her.  G was very sweet to her and completely delighted about having a pet. 

We managed to spill Her water container twice on the table.  And DM managed to kick some of her "pellets" a few times and landed them on the table-- or floor. Yes, she was on our dining room table. I wanted  easier access than bending down on the floor. And we hardly eat at the table anyways. 

I'm glad we kept her.  And glad she went home today.  And the kids love their little treasures from Hawaii. 

Jubi was saying "who why uh". Too cute. 

Now to disinfect the dining room table....

Summer time.

I can't believe g has been outta school

Over a month! We went to visit Dorothy Lou last week.  Jubi slept in the big bed with grammy. We didn't take the pack n play! DLou is such an amazing woman! Almost 94---- you'd never guess that.  So thankful she lets us bombard her house with the young'ns.  It was rainy-- so they were extra bonkers during our stay.  We did manage in a quick trip tithe park before we left the next morning.  

What a mild summer this has been! And I'm oh so thankful for that.  I don't even think we hit triple digits in June.  What?! Maybe a time or two.  

The kids have been going to MDO on Tuesday's.  A nice little sanity check for mommy.  Looking forward to a massage and pedi tomorrow.  

We've also swam at the pages a few times.  G did real well at dog paddling to breathe a few times.  Jubi tends to inhale water when she goes under.
