We have these friends in our ward that called us up and asked to babysit their hamster. Well, how could I say no.. My girls were so excited about it. Mallory just the other day said "mom, can we have a pet"? I said "what kind of pet?" She said, "either a horse or a turtle". Just for the record I am not a pet person!! So watching this hamster was as good as it was going to get. His name is Theodore and they love him, even though he does nothing all day and just runs his little heart out ALL night. They had to have the neighbor kids come over to see him. The other morning Aubrey woke up before anyone and came out to see him. She suddenly came running in our room and said "Theodore got me all wet." I looked at her finger and it was bloody and the thing had bit her. I guess thats what she gets when you stick your finger in and try to wake it up. Hamster-sitting is over tomorrow if the girls will let it go.

How fun for the girls! I'm so not a pet person so pet-sitting is as close to getting a pet the boys will get. =)
Wow you are a nice person. I had a bad experience once babysitting someones pet, but it was a guinea pig and it had babies and they were all dead, it was disgusting! Glad your girls are so excited, I am not a pet person either, to much to clean up!
Pretty funny. We have a dog, a horse (which is at my dad's place) but Quaid still wants a hamster...go figure? Kids want what they don't have.
