Priorities

This morning I had my priorities straight when I decided to sleep after my alarm went off.

Two extra minutes turned into 30 resulting in me already running late.

I flipped the bathroom light on and realized I still needed to straighten my mangled mess I could hardly call hair. Another 20 minutes gone. 

I put on minimal make up, quickly got dressed, kissed Spencer good bye & grabbed my purse to leave.

This is when the real problem starts..

I'm standing at the front door and Winston Bunny sees me. He quickly hops up to his cage door and puts his dirty little feet up, like "MOM LET ME OUT!"

Of COURSE I can't leave without lovin on that little guy. I opened his cage and gave him a few love pets. He's slowly inching forward to put his nose out of the cage door- obviously wanting to get out and hop around.

I FEEL SO BAD leaving such a cute thing in a cage all day.

I heard Spencer getting up so I let him out of his cage to hop around.

Spencer pointed out I was now REALLY late for work.

But.......

Spencer literally helped me to the door and shut it behind me. haha

HOW on earth can you leave something as cute as this behind?!

Winston has a hiding spot between the two couches where he loves to hang out.

He likes to sit with me as I flip through pages of my magazines

He likes to give kisses..

And I discovered he likes Keva Juice..

Winston likes us being on the floor with him..

This is when Winston is the most active. He will RUN around his cage, run around the couches, sprint down the hall and then KICK his feet and flip around. He'll jump straight up in the air and flip all over.. SO cute..

Winston is litter box trained, so when we are home he can hop around and be out of his cage- just like a little puppy! He has a few toys he likes- a pine cone and a little wooden carrot he likes to chew on. I cut up a towel to have in his cage so it was soft for his feet, and he LOVES the little towel scraps. He cuddles with them, chews on them, and will make them wrinkled and then smooth them out again. He's darling.

Last week Winston was CONSTANTLY licking me. I started to get worried thinking he had a vitamin deficiency or wasn't getting nutrients in his food.
When I googled why he was doing this, I was so happy.

The first page said "CONGRATULATIONS- you have a happy healthy bunny who has formed a bond with who he views as his mum!"

Turns out Winston just loves me.

He was totally worth being late to work today..

Winston, you were the best $25.00 purchase I've ever made..

Deal or No Deal?

Lately,

if you asked my husband he would tell you I've been a total annoyance about having babies. Not that I want a baby RIGHT NOW, but I've certainly wanted to talk about it.

[I think more just to be annoying..]

 

Lets backtrack now...

Since about June I've been BEGGING Spencer to get me a bunny.

Apparently I just feel the need to take care of something living and cute.

My tomato plant just isn't cutting it, because it's not real cute.

 

June passed, NO bunny. July came around and it was PERFECT- I'll ask for a bunny for my birthday! I even made a board on pinterest called "Bring me bunnies" thinking Spencer might check my pinetrest account for gift ideas.

He did check it, but somehow missed the bunny memo.

 

A few days before my Birthday Spencer made it VERY CLEAR I was NOT getting a bunny. And if my parents got me one, we would be taking it back. Rude.

[But hey, maybe if I didn't get a bunny I could have that baby..?]

 

I kind of let go of the bunny thing, and really focused on the babies. Then my friend Kelli had her baby as you read in a few blog posts ago. This is when I realized Spencer knows NOTHING about pregnancy or having babies. SHOCKING.

I guess it makes sense, but really though. Bless his heart.

 

I helped him a few days ago with homework and asked what I got in return. His response, "Anything you want." BAD IDEA for him, GREAT idea for me!

 A BUNNY!

He agreed. I'm sure he's totally pulling my leg. He HAS TO BE! What an awful joke.

"I'll get you a bunny if you agree to wait a year before we have kids"

WHAT A DEAL!

"I'll have to sleep on it"

 

I thought about all of the pros/cons of this deal, and the pros outweighed the cons by far! We've only been married 5 months. Can I wait to have kids? Absolutely. Do I think waiting is a good idea? Absolutely.

[especially after discovering Spencer is clueless]

 

DEAL!

 

Meet Winston

The newest addition to the Gordon Family!

 

This little guy is TOTALLY awesome. We brought him home last night from the nicest breeder. He's a purebred Lionhead bunny- all white with blue eyes!

He looks huge from all of his fluff, but he's SO TINY!

His fluffiness is so adorable I can't even stand it.

This Video is exactly how I feel.
[if you haven't seen Despicable Me you are MISSING OUT!]

I'm working on Potty training Winston right now, and so far he has free range to the house and goes in his cage at night. No accidents yet!

Last night when we brought him home he slowly hopped around and sniffed everything. Today when I let him out he ran around and jumped and hopped! SO CUTE.

He learned how to jump in and out of his cage- which results in this mess.. until we can figure out a better set up.

He's SO fluffy that his bedding just sticks to him. He had the messiest little face this morning! He's cuddly, cute

AND Spencer totally loves him!

 

How could you NOT with a face like this??

 

Love you lots already Winston!
