Pushover?

I am pretty sure that I am a pushover.
push·o·ver
(pshvr)n.
1. One that is easily defeated or taken advantage of.
2. Something that is easily done or attained.

Why do I say that? Because I cannot resist the cute faces of my children and the cute wiggling nose of a baby bunny. You've got it folks...we bought ANOTHER pet! I am pretty sure Adam isn't too happy with us. :-) But honestly, it was all very innocent. The kids and I are visiting my parents in Georgia and we had to go to a farm supply store to pick up some things. Those dirty bounders had a trough filled with adorable baby bunnies. Grant was in heaven and Gracie was in heaven. We held a few and then we picked up Socks. And like I said, there was much pleading, many giggles, and bright smiles so I became a pushover and bought the bunny. He has the cutest little white feet and he is so good with the kids. He doesn't try to run away and LOVES to chase Grant. We put him in with Patchedees (after checking with a Vet to make sure that was okay) but quickly learned that they would need separate cages. Patchedees thought Socks was pretty cute and just couldn't stay away! (wink, wink)And for your viewing pleasure...here are a few pictures (okay like a million of Grace) of the adorable children who have turned me into a pushover.At what age will I be able to get a normal smile out of my child? Regardless, he is blasted cute!
He asked to use the camera so he could take some pictures to put on the blog to show daddy. I am quite impressed with his photography skills...now let's just train him on photoshop. Grant's photo of SocksCute little piggies (by Grant)

And sister--I told her to take out her binkie and was surprised she listened.
Now what mom?This is her face she pulls when she does something she thinks is funny and that she knows she is not supposed to do...like throwing things out of the basket while shopping, putting tape and random papers in her mouth, ripping off her glasses, trying to put a bottle of hairspray in her mouth (which she had just started to do)...you name it!Gracie LOVES to take things out of cabinets!Then she carefully puts them back in.I've been caught!

Two pets!!! You are a nice mommy. My kids' pets will always live at Petco :) So how close do you live to your parents? What is Adam doing now??? Did his job transfer him or did he find a new one?

I love Gracie's face! That is too funny. Cute pictures of everyone. You too mama!

You are a pushover for sure. I don't do pet stores. The pet food isle at Safeway seriously makes me gag so there is NO way you'll catch me with a pet anytime soon. You're the mom every kid dreams of having. :)

Miss you guys!
