Show and Tell-All

Clemmie at 6 weeks old
So our 7-year-old had "show-n-tell" in his class at our homeschool learning group yesterday, and he wanted to take several of our rabbits.

It's never a problem to take our furry bun-kids with us on outings like this since it's great fun to share them with others.

Yesterday was a bit different though.

The church were our group meets decided that yesterday was the perfect day to repave the main parking lot...which meant that all of us had to park in the upper lot and traipse through the main doors of the church to the auditorium and classrooms which are on the complete other side of the building.

It wouldn't have been a problem sans bunnies in a cage. And it wouldn't have been such a problem if it hadn't been such a beautiful, warm Spring day -- too warm for the bunnies to stay in the car for long.

But traipse we did (four times), and it was well-worth it when the kids' eyes lit up as they saw Clementine and Jack.

Edward chatted a bit about bunnies, sharing the information he remembered (with only the teensiest bit of coaching from Mommy, of course) and listening diligently to the "questions-turned-horror-stories" the kids each had for him.

In response to one student's question about whether or not our bunnies would have more babies anytime soon, he said, "Well, they probably should 'cuz we're having a baby and need lots of money for that."

Hmm... "Lttle pitchers (do indeed) have big ears," as my parents would say. *wink*
