The birthday boy had days and days of birthdayness, but I
think we are finally through all the celebrating, here six days later. There
were cupcakes the day before the birthday, the state fair and breakfast for
dinner ON birthday, party on Saturday, the movies on Sunday (unbirthday
related, but still fun – The Rise of the Guardians) and yesterday my mom came
by with her present for Spencer because she had to work on party day.
Without further ado, here are the newest members of our
family, Spencer’s gift from my mom:
Spencer has been wanting a pet for a year, and I had been
toying with the idea of a cat (even though I’m highly allergic). C has been
against all animals since we had to get rid of my dogs three years ago, and
while I agree that life is certainly easier without them I also think pets are
nice. My mom’s hamsters had two litters so she was the current proud owner of
TWELVE hamsters, so I leaned on C to agree to hamster pets. And here we are.
The boys are very excited by something furry in the house although we have
rules about not going into the cage and not beating on the glass … we’ll see if
this is a big disaster but for now we have hamsters.
And here are a couple pictures of Spencer (and Henry) on
party day.

Fun! I kind of want hamsters.
Oh happy birthday Spencer!
I had that kind of hamster as a kid and loved them. It was my first (and only) pet because my parents aren't animal people.
I loved having a hamster until mine died. I will never again have a hamster. Right now, I'd be more than happy to get rid of my dog (and we may be forced to due to Little Man's breathing issues) and I'm thinking Fuss's fish is more my speed in the pet dept.
