New Arrivals!

Yep, Treacle or is it Miffy? is now a Daddy!!! Our neighbour's rabbit Minnie has had 3 babies! Of course this had to happen now, when our neighbours are on holiday and I am looking after her! I went over this morning to give her her food, and there was fur everywhere. I had a little chat with her and asked if she was moulting - of course she didn't answer. Then I opened her hutch to a nest full of fur. So cute. Then as I was looking the fur was sort of moving - so I moved it and to my amazement found 3 baby rabbits. It was a cute moment, just a shame that baby rabbits that are only a matter of hours old are not cute. They are really quite ugly, no fur and all wrinkly!
Our neighbours unfortunately forgot to leave their mobile phone number, so they don't know about the additions to their family yet. But I am documenting it well. Here is a quick layout I threw together for you all to see. I may yet add some journalling but here it is so you can meet our new neighbours!

This again is taking me forever to write, only the threat of no TV all day tomorrow has made them shut up (my boys that is!), when will bedtime return to normal? Did we really want them in the same room together?
There is a good side to it (or at least there was the past two nights) they are sleeping through the night. Hardly surprising though when I think at how late they are actually getting to sleep. I just heard one of them then, going "shh, shh" so they are still awake! Now I hear talking, which I am trying hard to ignore, cause I use those TV breaks to cook in peace - so I might regret my threat in a minute!

OK, have to go and sort them out, they are getting louder and louder, so I cannot ignore it any longer!
Bye 4 now

I see you're not happy with them not going to sleep on time, but I think you've WON ONE battle!
If they are now sleeping through the night, there's a real good chance they also do that once they do get back to sleeping on a normal time!
But it must all be so new and exiting for them.

Now, you really have to pick your punishment better...
No TV... I can SO relate to that being worse for mum than the kids! Cooking just isn't the same with two kids running around! ;)

Oh, and I have to agree... baby rabbits are not really cute or pretty... But your LO is!! :)
