| I forgot to get a picture of the nest but here is one venturing out to say good morning. At like 7 am. The kids' eyes open and they run downstairs and outside to say good morning. |

| Here's an attempt of another bunny picture. You can kind of make out Olivia in the background. |

What did you do this week? Us? We took care of 5 baby rabbits that formed a nest in our yard. Apache Dog took one out so we spent the rest of the week taking him out the front door on a leash instead of utilizing the fenced in area. Then the kids went out every few hours or so to make sure they were ok. They built them a shelter out of a stool to keep them protected and then they attempted to feed them. One escaped into the neighbors (because Apache got out and chased him) yard so we searched for him for hours and returned him to his family. Then the lawn needed mowed so we had to build them a nest in a shoe box to keep them safe while the lawn mower went over their hole. Later, one fell into our window well and then proceeded to fall into the drain pipe IN the window well. Six feet down. (Stupid rabbit.) I spent the greater portion of the afternoon rigging nets and polls to get him out. Eventually I did. But, gosh darn it, these are wild rabbits. They should be able to fend for themselves, right? But to my children, this week, they are everything. I don't want them traumatized (anymore at least- since Apache killed the first one.) So we keep dropping everything to get these rabbits started off on a lucky foot. I hope they are ready to leave their nest soon. I have my own nest to tire me out.
