The things a Mom will do...




Maybe I'm crazy, or maybe I just like to make ugly things cute, either way, yesterday was spent sewing for Cheeto. Yup, I spent hours sewing for a rodant. Laugh if you will, but I even googled guinea pig clothes! I'm not sure if I will go that far, but I kind of thought about a cute knited sweater! I had to dress up his ugly cage so I sewed a top blanket and a matching ruffle to cover the hunter green. (He's downstairs where it's a little colder, so I thought he would appriciate some warmth. And yeah, I know he's a boy, but he's getting stripes and polka dots on everything! Sorry Buddy,) I bought disposable gloves so I had to make a little bag for them to go in, plus a few carrying pouches for the kids. I labled most of his supplies and I happily await when I get to clean his cage later today! Yeah! I also made a daily chore chart for the kids listing their responsibilities. Every week I (or Papa) will clean the cage, but the rest of the week, the kids are semi in charge. I am trying. Really hard.

Cheeto is such a perfect name! My kids and I had many guinea pigs through the years; one time we got 4 babies at once! I always liked to have those gloves on hand (no pun intended) to do a partial bedding change of their favored bathroom corner every couple of days. I like your gp accessories and the labels. I hope your kids enjoy Cheeto very much. (PS when you cut out the core of any bell peppers, give them to Cheeto -- super good source of Vit C for him. Our piggies loved these best of all!)
