We shared a family order of breadsticks, the kids got pasta, and Joe and I got personal pan pizzas. I only ate half of mine (Hawaiian-style) because those bread sticks are filling!

Joe and The Boy were getting impatient with The Girl and me because we couldn&#8217;t stop watching this little hamster and all her acrobatics. She was hanging upside down and cracking us up. Her sisters weren&#8217;t nearly as interesting. I even had another cage in my hand at one point but then reconsidered because we don&#8217;t have much room for another hamster cage, as small as this one would be. Plus I felt like it would take my attention away from Peanut and I felt guilty about that. So as hard as it was, I had to walk away from little Popcorn (the kids named her). <\/p>\n<p>I do plan to have several pets one day when we have the room, and there are a lot of different animals I wouldn&#8217;t mind owning, although not necessarily at the same time, including a dog, cat, rabbit, ferret, frogs, and a turtle.
