The party began at 4:00pm. Maggie and her six-year old, Sage, showed up and helped me make the ferret's their birthday "cake." The cake was basically Ferretvite, Yogie Treats, and chicken flavored Bandit treats. Yum! Sage was really excited to meet the ferrets; it was her first time. I had a lot of fun watching her get excited over my kids.
MoMoBella got herself in trouble, as usual. She managed to climb up inside the umbrella-holder and get really dirty. Do you see all the brown on her head? That is dirtiness. That is not the coat color she chose for Wintertime this year.I managed to rub it all off her head, but she's probably going to need a bath anyway. So bathtime awaits her near future!!
AND, of course, what is a weasel birthday bash without a little dress-up? We managed to get Rudyard in his Jock Shirt (Go Carpet Sharks!!), which won Sage's heart.
It is always exciting to get excited about clothes.
The time to sing "Happy Birthday" finally came.We sang this:
Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday dear.... uh... FERRETS!
Happy Birthday to YOU!
Their presents were:
- a sleeping bed from me,
- a play cube and felt rope from Sage,
- and a cat stick with sparkly stuff from our friends, the Warlicks.
The ferrets loved the cube and Jack fell madly in love with the cat stick, due to its sparkly nature and little bell.
Eventually, the kids got totally pooped from the days events. MoMoBella put herself to bed and Jack and Rudyard started acting tired. The boys protested greatly when we put them back, but eventually they realized they were sleepy too.
I got a great shot of Jack totally wiped out. He's just sleeping on his back. It's hilarious.
And Rudyard is staring at us with his sleepyful eyes. Sleep sleep sleep. MoMoBella put herself to bed in the Pirate Ship, which is what is hanging about Jack in the picture.
Time passed and Maggie and Sage went home after eating some yummy Human Food. Sage found out what Doritos were and I told Maggie I'd give her my recipe for the Flan. Nat and Eli showed up and brought some Chili Mac. YUM.Rajni and Mark came just in time to the ferret's reawakening. We managed to get Jack in a pirate-shirt, previously belonging to MoMoBella but too big for MoMoBella. The shirt made him look really beefy.
He tried to get out of it, but was too tired and eventually gave up.
Sam helped him out and they cuddled for a bit in the Choo-Choo Train (which is actually the travel tote, but who wants to call it that?)
You can see their critter cube in the back that Sage gave them. It's Rud's favorite toy right now. He loves climbing into things like that.
Rudyard and MoMoBella turned 4 years this month and Jack turned 2 years. Happy Birthday guys! You make my life complete!!
