Welcome Pink and Tom!

Ok, so I finally gave in ....

There has been talk of getting a pet for a while - you know, something that the girls can call "their pet"; and love, play mommy to and take care of; yet one that doesn't need to be walked at night or looked after on week-ends; one that doesn't yap or yeaol and generally gets on with it's life without much need for attention.

And, at the same time, there has been much equal and opposite talk of not getting a pet! In fact, I had thought that it was louder, but today got proven wrong (sorry, persuaded) when the family arrived home with Pink and Tom.

... Enter, Stage Left ...

This is Pink. She is Sarah's.

Tom is the camera-shy-very-out-of-focus-white-hamster above. He is Amber's.

Well, so far they have survived the over-zealous and very-enthusiastic mothering of our 2. And are actually very cute!

OK!!! So it is really not so bad having pets again. At least there shouldn't be too much difficulty finding someone in their class to look after them while we go away on week-ends. But let's talk again in a month or 2 ...
