A little bit of this and that...

Finished the first Christmas LO of this year! Just love this picture of Marlijn. Thank you Anita for giving her the lovely rosy cheeks!
Behind the picture is a tag with Marlijn's wishes.

About a hamster and a bunny...

Anne's hamster died. A few days ago she came home from school, she went upstairs to her room and found him dead... She was a little sad, but not upset really. Although she had always taken good care of him she didn't really think he was a lot of fun. He slept all day, kept her awake at night and didn't want to be hold at all. So for an 11 year old girl that isn't too much fun I guess.

Now she has always wanted to have a little bunny but before we got the hamster we didn't think she was able to take really good care of it. She proofed though she can so we decided she could have her bunny now the hamster was gone. When we told her she acted like crazy, jumped up and down the room, screamed, kissed us... totaly excited. Her friend who was here too had never seen her like this before :)

Yesterday we heard there were new baby bunnies at the pet store so we went to pick one up. And it is soooo adorable. Only 6 weeks old and just too cute. She called him Mellow and carries him around the whole day long. And if she isn't Lennart or Marlijn is and Mellow seems to be just fine with it. I just hope the fun is to stay. One thing is for sure... in this 1 and a half day that he is here Mellow brought LOTS of happiness and joy into this house. To see the look on my childrens faces is just priceless!!!



Isn't he cute?
