weekend guest

Miller's class has a pet guinea pig who gets to travel home with a different child each weekend. We've gotten Minnie the guinea pig several other times this year, and I don't know who enjoys it more - the kids, or Mark and I.

If there were a best personality award for guinea pigs, Minnie would win hands down. She is cute and sweet and doesn't bite, even when a fat little almost-one-year-old hand pulls out a big ol' tuft of hair. When she sits in your lap and you pet her, she makes an endearing little noise. After the kids went to bed last night, Mark and I hung out with her on our bed and watched Saturday Night Live as a trio.

Gray is having a hard time distinguishing her from a bunny. When he saw her this morning after waking up, I had to laugh when I heard him from the other room, in his super high-pitched imitating mommy voice say, "Well, HELLO, Easter Bunny!"

What a delightful little weekend visitor:-)
