Zhu Zhu Pets

So, last years hot item for Christmas was the Zhu Zhu Pet.  They are furry little hamsters that make funny noises and roll all over the floor.  We didn't jump on that train at the time.  Well the other day, Bella and I went to Walmart and they had the Zhu Zhu Pets marked down to $3.00.  I figured since it was cheap, I would let Bella pick one out.  She ended up loving this crazy little thing!  A few days later while at Kmart, we found another one for $2.50 (I love clearance!), so we let her get it.  She spent an hour with these little critters watching them go all over the kitchen.

On Sunday, we went out to visit Nanny, Pappy, and grandma Necker (as Bella calls her) and Bella had to take her little pets to show them.  While we were there, Bella dropped one of them and he quit moving.  Pappy felt bad that he couldn't fix it so he gave her money to buy a new one since we had to stop at Walmart on the way home anyway.  Then Nanny decided to give her a few dollars too.  She had enough money to get 3 more.  It was a tough choice but she managed to pick out the ones she wanted.  Now we have 5 of these little creatures!

When Bella is done playing with them, she lays them on their sides and says they are sleeping.  She gets mad if we stand them back up and she will lay them back down.  This is what I found on the kitchen counter the other day:

I must admit, they are really cute and fun to watch!  I don't think we will be getting anymore, at least I hope not ;)
