::randle family dinner part 2--rats::

After Max and Jennifer finished eating dinner, they headed off to play. Max's dinner consisted of about 100 pieces of pineapple and one slice of garlic bread. I don't care if he's picky as long as he eats fruit!

Max and Jennifer had a pretty good time together playing downstairs in the toy room. I'm sure they made a mess, but they were happy.

While they were off playing, cousin Cammon brought out his rats. He has two of them. I'm not sure what their names are or anything, but they're cute. I didn't think rats could be so cute, even pet rats!
One of them decided it likes my mom, and used her for a dining room table.

I didn't touch them because I was afraid I'm allergic to them--just like every other animal on the face of the planet! But I wanted to, because they were so cute and fuzzy.

Then everybody sat around and told stories while the rats ate their fruit loops. It was pretty fun.

Not everybody's mom would be cool with a rat crawling all over them. But mine is, she's just cool like that.

And cute Sydney just watched and wondered at it all.
Then we got tired and went home. It was a fun night. I love seeing everybody, it's so nice.

EEEEEEEK! My nephews have rats and if they didn't have tails then maybe....cuz they wrap those tails around you. UGH! The look on your mom's face is funny though. Uh huh. I'm smiling....but not really....:)

No - that look on my face? It's because Ginna told me my smile is fake - like, the smile I smile at the camera is NOT my real smile. Which I do not understand, and am now trying to cope with. So if you can't smile the smile you think you're smiling, what do you do with your face?

I like the rats' tails. They're honest. Rats are honest. And fuzzy and busy. They stick their noses in your ear and drive you crazy with their whiskers. Life could be worse.

Oh NO, I can't imagine ANYTHING worse than a RAT on my neck that has one of those tails...! The picture with the rat tail hanging out the back is surely my worst nightmare.

But hey, at least my kid will think it's cool that his great aunt likes those things. Can you tell I grew up in a house of GIRLS that made the one brother skip it all and just have a dog?

Cool pictures though, like always!

Your mom is very cool. I ran into her and and your sister at BYU over the weekend. They did a fabulous job on their panel at LTUE.

I can sympathize with the allergies---I actually used to have pet rats that were cute and smart and sweet...and I broke out into hives every time I touched them. It was very unfortunate.
