When one door closes...

One evening Dad gets a phone call at work about the pet fish. On the phone he hears crying, then "Dad, Bubbles died!" Some more crying occurs and then instantly the crying stops followed by, "Dad, can we get a hamster?" A few days later someone left a hamster in its cage in the Wal-Mart parking lot with a sign on it "free to a good home." The employee that found it didn't want it, but felt bad for it sitting out in the heat. Bryan reluctantly said he would take it. Surprisingly, it has been a great pet and the kids have loved it. Hopefully Lex has learned his lesson and will be a little more gentle after being bit on the finger at 6 AM the other day! Lex's parents loved waking up that early to a crying kid and a little blood spot trail up the stairs. Fortunately a band-aid was all that was needed.

Which way do my shorts go?

Lex is now potty trained and insists on getting dressed by himself; but as seen in the picture, he has a hard time figuring out which way to put on his shorts!
