Today I took care of a few boys that I have been babysitting/nannying for about six years. Broc (7 and 1/2) and Wyatt (5) are nothing but boyish mischief at their best. I feel old when I realize that I have been a big part of their lives since before Wyatt was a mere twinkle in his parents' eyes.
Anyway, this day we started with quite an adventure. Wyatt is a new owner of a darling hamster named Shubba (a word he made up while singing). Within the first few moments of being introduced to the lovely Shubba - she bit the Wy-guy on the finger which caused him to fling her a few feet across the room. After quickly returning the critter to her cage - I returned to find the boy with his finger completely covered in blood (thank God I am not squeemish) and him crying quite loudly. Fifteen minutes, half an episode of Spongebob, numerous tears, five bloody tissues, and three band-aids later - we finally managed to stop the bleeding.
Let's just say that after that ordeal - the rest of the day was cake.
Speaking of pets, my family has aquired another fuzzy friend. Due to the closely timed departures of both our beloved guinea pig and cat, we felt a gap in our smaller fuzzy cuddle department. Thusly - my sister and mother ventured to adoption day at a local petstore and procured a lovely kitty who has been unofficial dubbed "Jazzoo Sassafras" by respective members of my immediate kinfolk.
Pictures will, no doubt, be provided soon.

I can do even better-- I'll have Jeff take a burned copy of the CD to you. Let me know if there is anything you really really like and I can see if I have more of that artist. :-)
