Sick child + Cabin Fever = A bunny

As you can tell form the title...the decision has been made...we are now the owners of a bunny (I got out voted). Actually, I did cave in today and here is the reason why...Eliza has been sick since Wednesday with a high fever and a cough. I took her to the doctor and he said it was just viral. She never got better so I took her back on Saturday and it turns out she has a double ear infection and bronchitis. Needless to say, she is on several medicines and we have kept her home-bound since Wednesday. I hate she has been sick for us to have a reason to stay home ALL weekend but I have really enjoyed our hybernation. I have been productive (while she has been napping) by cleaning the house and getting clothes ready for a consignment sale. Meanwhile, Carter and Walden hit a wall today and officially had a HUGE dose of "cabin fever". With so much time on our hands this weekend, the boys had a lot of time to brainstorm what they could do today. So, low and behold, Carter mentioned getting a bunny again. So...Walden thought what better day than today to get it?!?! They drove up to Gastonia, NC (only about an hour away) to get the bunny. Hence the reason I caved in to get a bunny....because they were about to drive me NUTS with their cabin fever :) so I knew it would give them some fresh air to ride up there. So, there you have it. I now announce to you our newest addition, "Reese". I have quickly overcome my uneasiness of holding a rabbit. Reese is actually a cute little thing (I haven't admitted that to Walden yet) and Carter absolutely ADORES her! (Oh yeah..."she" is actually a "he"...Carter truly thinks the woman told him the bunny was a girl even though Walden disagrees and says she said it was a boy...it is easier to agree with Carter.) Eliza loves her as well but she was asleep when I was snapping pictures.
