Bye-Bye Scubbers

I have to confess a heartless act I did last night. Dominic has had this gerbil, Scubbers, for quite some time now and I got really tired of the smell in the boys room from her. Dominic would clean the cage at least every other day and it didn't help that much. So last night I suggested to him, half in jest, that he let Scubbers go free outside. He was eager to do it so he did. Well, this morning we found one of Scubbers legs and paw on the back patio. Our cat, Hermione, got her. Ryan was very unhappy at me and Dominic last night for this choice and now seeing that constant reminder is eating at me really bad. Am I really that heartless? If you think I am please don't tell me, I feel bad enough.
This is not our gerbil but a picture of one from the internet.

Are You Ready?

Christmas time is fast approaching and I'm happy to say that I have all my Christmas sewing DONE! Last year I was doing it all at the last minute and going crazy but this year I started it in September and now have it all done. I got 4 nightgowns, 3 pj capris, and 10 pair of pj pants. It took awhile but I got it all done. The hardest was getting the finishing done, I dragged my feet getting the elastic in them. I feel so good now that they're done though! Christmas is looking a little more stress free for me! This is Sammie sporting her Christmas jammies. The girls get pink camo and the boys get red camo.
