Rabbits

We have about 5 adult rabbits and 7 baby rabbits living in our yard. (Well now there is only 3 babies, because our cat hunts them.) On Saturday, there was an eagle that picked up one of the babies. Luckily, Bruno saw it and ran after it and the eagle dropped the bunny. So it lived in a box in the house all day Saturday and Sunday. Yesterday, Fabiana saw the eagle swoop low over where the bunnies live and decided that she would catch all of the babies and bring them in for the night. Of course, she recruited me. So I spent my night last night chasing baby bunnies around the yard. Never a dull moment here. Although they are extremely cute (see pic). There are some bad things about them too, gross moment coming up...it is amazing how much pee those little guys have in them. They soaked through the box and a towel and paper towels that were underneath it in only a night, and there was only three.

Birthday




My birthday, as all of you should know (haha) was last week (October 24). My sister, Fabi actually threw me a surprise party. My friends and I walked to my house after school and the patio was all decorated with balloons and streamers. We just hung out, and it was really fun. They sang Happy Birthday, and after told me that I had to take a bit out of the cake for good luck, that it is a Chilean tradition...and I fell for it. I got my face smashed into the cake, luckily it was a little bit more dense than normal cakes, so only the bottom half went in. Although I have never felt my nose so full.
