hammies!

Ryan and I went and got the hamsters from my sister's house yesterday. My nephew Daniel picked them up and looked at their bellies and said "yep, these are girls."

So... Ryan and I left, not thinking about it... and on the car ride to the pet store, I said "babe... doesn't it look like the hamsters have... some extra baggage" haha... and he was like "well, I don't know really..."

Well I had to know, because I was going to name them... so we took them into the pet store with us and found this uniquely dressed woman cleaning out some rat cages, and I was like "I NEED YOUR HELP! I NEED TO KNOW THE SEX OF MY HAMSTERS!"

By the way, this woman was probably in her late 40's sporting a female mullet with multiple piercings in her ears. Just thought you should know that... anyway... She opened the cage and picked them up and said "those are little boys."

UGHHH I wanted girls, because boys pee everywhere and are stinky... but Ryan and I had already fallen in love with these two, and I wasn't about to go back and attempt to convince my 10 year old nephew that he really has no clue what the word "gender" means.

So, Ryan and I bought them food at the store and came home.

I decided on the names Spanky and Porky because I think they are the funnest names from the Little Rascals movie. =]

Spanky is crrrrazy! He's pretty good at climbing all over the cage, and he kind of bullies Porky. Porky is a gimp for now, his front right paw seems to be hurt, but not too bad... he just avoids walking on it. Other than that, it looks fine.

They're typical boys... we've had to break up a couple of fights... which leads me to believe we'll have to separate them when they get older.


LIFE AWAY FROM THE HAMSTERS....


Ryan and I went to Brother Kevin's softball game last night. His team lost, so he was kinda bummed and we didn't go bowling. Instead, we went back to Kevin and Amy's house and Kevin grilled us mini burgers! They were delicious. While we ate we watched America's Got Talent. We had a good time.

Ryan really enjoyed spending time with baby Gage. He keeps telling me how much he loves babies... I'll have to watch him or he might steal one from the church nursery!


Well, a lady from my office is out tomorrow so I have to be there at 8 instead of 1.... I better head off.
