A bunny

The oldest son has been asking for a rabbit for over two years. So for his birthday we drew up plans for a rabbit hutch and his them at the end of a treasure hunt. Jared and he went to Lowes and picked up all the supplies and built the hutch over the next few weekends (which is why the mudroom has on hold since February).  The rabbit was 8 weeks old and able to leave her family this week. She is the sweetest and softest thing. 

Ps. Your kids are going to like different things then you. Remember how much I disliked the Green Ember… it made it on my dislike list of books for the year a few years ago (2019 I think).  Well, it is one of the oldest sons favorite books. Originally this rabbit was supposed to be a boy, but the litter was all girls. So instead of being named Smalls Jupiter, he changed the name to Heather Longtreader. Welcome, Heather! 

Pps. My vote for a name was Pickles Folger from Redwall.
