Go Red Sox!

Alright, so this is almost a week late, but better than nothing! ;)

Back in April, I got Nate "the best birthday present, EVER!!" He was shocked to find a pair of tickets to the June 2nd Red Sox vs. Yankees game at Fenway when he finished his scavenger hunt!

Both K and I have been under the weather recently, but thankfully everyone was feeling better on Saturday! We took the bus down, then the T over to Fenway. The game was GREAT! Kaiden was very well behaved, and flirted with everyone... He's too cute for his own good!

There was at least one fight in the stands that we saw, not sure which "side" won before they were escorted out though... On a sweeter note, there was a young man who proposed on the jumbotron during the game. She said yes, very sweet - I didn't get a picture, wish I had!

We had good seats, out by Peskys Pole, and 20 rows up or so. The game went back and forth for a while, but in the end the Sox showed them who was boss! We won, 11-6. Excitement came during the bottom of the 7th, when Doug Mientkiewicz was trampled by Mike Lowell running to 1st. He was driven out, the game continued, and we kept kicking Yankee booty!

Overall, a GREAT day, and despite the heat and sun, I didn't get the tiniest bit of a sunburn! After the game, we got Kaiden his first real baseball cap (which he quickly proceeded to take off), Nate got a new hat and tee, and I got a new Sox tank top.

GO SOX!

Welcome home boys!

Tonight my friend Kim and her hubby Mark came over for dinner. While that was pretty good, my highlight of the evening, next to finally getting to hang out with Kim again, was getting my new "kids"! There was a rat dumped at an area shelter Kim used to work at, and she was lucky enough to foster the litter of amazingly gorgeous babies! As soon as we saw she had named them all with Boston Red Sox names, there was no saying no! lol

We adopted Dice-K Matsusaka (I have NO idea if I spelled that right!), Manny Ramirez, and Jason Varitek. Dice is a blue rex boy, Manny is a blue self, and Jason is a black self. They're SO friendly too! Tonight I was playing with them, and had a great time "wrestling" with Manny and Jason. Dice is a bit shyer than the other two, but I'm sure with some time, he'll warm right up. :)

Nate bought me their new rat cage as an early birthday present. It's a Midwest Ferret Nation, which is THE closest thing I've ever seen to the perfect rat cage! I sectioned it off so my current boys (Charlie, Henry and Finnegan) are up top, and the new boys are in the bottom section that has been screened in, since they're still small enough to fit through the bars. Once they're a bit bigger, they'll be introduced to the other boys and they'll all share the cage.

Pictures coming soon, but for now here's a pic of the cage, a pic of Charlie, and some older pics of the new guys. Enjoy!
