Guinea Pigs!

We welcomed two new members to our family yesterday: Sherlock and Brady. They boys have been asking for guinea pigs for quite a while. Last year, Will suggested that if he went a month without sucking his thumb he could get one. We agreed - but, after 3 weeks of success he was back sucking his thumb. In August, Will wanted to try again. So we made a deal: On September 28, Alex could get a guinea pig. If will could go a full month without sucking his thumb, he could also get a guinea pig. The idea that Alex would get one but he might not did the trick so we made the trip to Chow Hound last night to choose their new pets.
