We are a homeschooling family and are "real toads in an imaginary garden"

This isn't a very good picture, but meet Samuel the Hamsterite in his ball. He runs it all over the house, up and down and up and down, sometimes for hours. It makes me tired to watch him!
Cute! He looks like Cinnamon. We had Nutmeg and Cinnamon (two girls). You can imagine my surprise when one morning we found wiggly pink things in the cage. Babies! We switched Cinnamon for Cinnamon II, this time an assured girl. Nope. Babies again. By this time we had a boys cage and a girls cage and I knew how to tell them apart much better than the pet store jerk. Did you know that a mommy hamster can get pregnant again within minutes of giving birth? I didn't either. Third litter. Some met untimely demises (I'll spare you the details) and we gave some away. Our last hamster escaped and could very well be alive somewhere in this house.
I am a home-educating mother of three sons, wife to a bishop in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, inveterate bookworm. I love faith, family, food, reading, poetry, birds, flowers, scrapbooking, and, oh, did I mention reading? My sons grow too fast, read, make a lot of noise, keep snakes and hamsters, and build elaborate structures with everything from popsicle sticks to electronics components.
