Life actually did something!

So yeah, I'm actually POSTING, because I have something to post about! I figured you guys didn't want to hear about adding like terms and such, so I never posted. But now that there's something OTHER than adding like terms and such, so here I am! I feel bad for not posting, despite the fact that nothing has been happening, and hopefully I will get to doing some devotional posts and some other things that don't require any sort of excitement (such as those Fashion Friday things I've been wanting to do for a long time).

So, last Monday the doorbell rang, and there was my neighbor carrying a bucket full of dirt, grass and seven ADORABLE baby bunnies! (We're guessing they were about a week old, but we aren't sure.)

He found them at work while he was digging with a tractor. Since Mamma bunnies don't usually come back after their nest has gone through dramatic change - such as being dug up with a tractor - he brought them here, so we could take care of them. And since I was the one that was most excited about it, I am the one who gets to take care of them. (Trust me, feeding seven bunnies takes time, and it's extremely uncomfortable to sit in the same bent over position for that whole time.)

But no matter how sore my back is, how tired I get because I woke up at 6 AM on Saturday morning (SATURDAY MORNING, PEOPLE! SATURDAY!) to the sound of ALL of them trying to dig through the cardboard, or how freaked out I get when one of them has been missing all day and hasn't gotten any food, I do think it's worth it. Because they are SO. CUTE.

Unfortunately, it isn't very common for all of them to survive.

Guess which one died that night? :( I was actually kinda glad it died, though. It had a miserable life. You know how it is when you get the stomach flu, and you are STARVING, but everything you eat comes right back up? That's how that rabbit's whole life had been. =( Another one died yesterday morning, but the rest are pretty healthy. There is one that's smaller than the rest, but it isn't half as bad as the other two that died, so we're hoping it does ok.

We bring them outside for a while each day so that they can get some fresh air, and get used to the outdoors, and eating all the yummy stuff in yards. ;)

Usually they just snuggle under the box, or in some little corner, or try running away so we will never see them again, or hide behind thorn bushes. No trouble at all. (I'm serious, they DO run away. Mom had to grab one by its tail before it got away.)

Now they're getting bigger, and we'll probably let them go soon. But taking care of them has been so much fun! (Except for getting up at six on a SATURDAY MORNING!!)
