There are three little 'possums snoozing in a slipper. One of the boys thought it would help them feel like they were in a pouch. I thought that was a great idea and apparently, so did they. :)
Just finished up eating and are ready to climb under the towel and go to sleep.
Drew took this picture of the boys and I at the county fair last Thursday. Our church had a booth and we took a turn sitting there, greeting people and handing out literature. After our shift was over, we decided to walk through and look at the animals. Can you guess what is in my basket?? Yes, baby opossums. They were with me just about everywhere I went. Now that I know they are able to feed themselves from a dish, I do not have to 'possum-sit.

What a great opossum mommy you are, taking your opossum babies to the fair! The idea just makes me smile. Have your animal experiences given your sons an interest in animal careers when they grow up?
Hi Ann. I laughed sometimes thinking "What if people knew what I had in my picnic basket?!" They were probably wondering why I was carrying our lunch with us all over the fair. :)
Ukiah has voiced an interest in becoming a wildlife artist for some time now. He would spend hours meandering around outside quietly observing nature. All the boys love animals and the out-of-doors in general. I'm sure it is making an impact on their lives...just not sure how yet.
They are cute little creatures......even though they remind me a bit of mice, which I am so afraid of. lol ;o)
When were these pictures taken? Did they grow really fast? lol It's so nice to see you in pictures. I'm with Ann, you are such a good opossum mommy.
Hi Lisa. yes...WE think they are cute. :)
Shereen, those pictures were taken last Thursday. They ARE growing fast! They are almost big enough for their new house. The smaller opposum that has some deformities on her back legs can still squeeze through the wire sides and I don't want to separate them...they "sneeze" and make a ruckus when I do.
You are so sweet...I love being a mommy...even if it is to opposums. :)
