This morning I came into my Momma's and Dad's room to wake them up at 7am. After all, it was Saturday, which meant lots of time to play, and I wouldn't want anybody else to miss out by sleeping too long! I crawled into bed to jump on Dad (that is fairly effective at waking him), and my Momma reached over to try one of her tricky "cuddle the boy back to sleep" maneuvers. My response: "Momma- *exhasperated sigh* - I
REALLY don't have time for this now."
In further news, we now have a pet Russian tortoise that I named Timmy. Timmy lives in a big tank, and likes to eat leaves and re-arrange his furniture/logs/rocks. We rescued/adopted Timmy from someone who was getting rid of him, and we think he will be a fun pet. :o)

This Friday my Momma had a Timmytortoise, and a Marktortoise and a Holdentortoise. Timmy is a bit too fat (bulges coming out of his shell) because the old owners didn't know how to feed him properly, so Timmy has to exercise every day. We are happy to "help"...

Timmy LOVES his basking spot - the old owners had let their basking bulb burn out a few months ago, and so he's been kind of chilly!
And finally, a few (goofy) pictures of me in the new hat my Momma chrochetted for me. It was going to be a simple round hat, but I specifically requested ear flaps and a pom pom... so I am very pleased that my Momma made it just like I wanted it to be.
