No Hedgehogs to see here.. Move on...

Well, it's official. Ryan will NOT be showing his hedgehog tomorrow for the small pets show at the 4H fair. He went upstairs to show Penelope off to his aunt and came back down looking stunned.

"Well - I can't take the hedgehog to the fair..."

I was expecting the worse because the hedgehog had been looking pretty lethargic lately and I assumed, "It's dead..."

"Penelope just had babies! There are 3 of them in there!" Ryan is a daddy/grandfather, whichever...

Oh my! We've had her since June 25th and decided she must have gotten knocked up 4 days before we got her. The daddy is that other cute little one that was still at the pet store!

Maddy quickly looked up how to care for the babies and it says we can't even go in the room because too much stress could cause the mother to cannibalize her babies... So for 10-14 days, Ryan is going to have to camp out on my futon in my office.

He's texted all his friends and has a ton of possible names for them and already the questions of "Which one can I have?" is coming from his sisters...

Wish our little zoo luck!
This is not my picture, but a good idea of what they look like so far...

Oh my goodness, I wasn't expecting that! How funny!
This is my first visit to your blog. I've got 3 kids too, and am thinking of homeschooling. I too have taken over my dining room table with my sewing machine and fabric, however you actually have talent whereas I have zero!! HA! I've not gotten past sewing burp cloths and pillow cases!
Anyway, just stopping by to make a new friend. Have a good day!

lol! He's told everyone at the fair today what happened and everyone is shaking his hand like he's the father. I'll be surprised and a bit ticked if someone hands him a cigar...
