Back to school shopping. I used to love it as a kid. I am an office supply junkie! However, school supply shopping isn’t as much fun when I don’t get to pick but I DO get to pay. I hate the paying part.

We went to Wal Mart this year. Usually we hit Target and last year we went to Staples but this year we knew the biggest selection/cheapest prices would be Wally World. We didn’t do too bad. Each girl got a backpack and everything on both lists for $65. And that includes the silly monkey head erasers and the notebooks with puppies all over them. All three of us were happy with our shopping experience.

Today we went to church and now we’re just kind of hanging out at home. I have much laundry to do. All of the animals are clean and our newest addition is hopping around the living room. His name is Digger and he’s a black bunny rescued from the animal shelter at their Petstock adoption event. Yeah, I know, I needed another animal like a hole in the head. My plan is to bond Digger to Thumper. Thumper is still a very skittish bunny and doesn’t like human attention. I think she’ll do well with another rabbit. Usually a rabbit is supposed to pick her own bond mate but I saw Digger and had to meet him. After I met him I couldn’t leave him at the shelter. He’s very people social, just like the baby bunny boys. He’s a rex, which are the bunnies with the velvety fur.

Our rabbit cage is now the focal point of the living room. The ferrets have been moved to the dining room. Amber and I built the second half of the cage last weekend. We’re pretty proud of how it turned out.

I have now banished myself from the animal shelter, I told the rescue lady not to let me adopt anyone from her or else I wouldn’t be able to volunteer any more, and I’m not looking on Craigslist at all. I am way too much of a softie and pretty soon there won’t be enough room for the people in this house!

Still, I’m happy with my animals and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
