The breakfast of champions.

River couldn't wait for me to finish preparing their birthday breakfast and felt the need to inspect my progress by hopping onto the coffee table.  I'll let it slide just this once (and she's only standing on the paper towel, so there's that).

They're eating like people!
I should also note that Simon sitting on my lap is unheard of--the most he usually does is put his front paws up.  Apparently, oat covered banana slices are powerful motivation.

In a complete role reversal, River decided to forgo basic table manners and stuffed the entire banana oat concoction into her mouth and proceeded to sloppily eat it on my lap while Simon was content to daintily eat like a human (showing proper etiquette by keeping his elbows off of the table).
Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you have a great weekend!  We'll be back on Monday.

Birthday Bunnies!

Simon and River are two years old today!  

Poor little River had a bit of a rough start to her birthday with some tummy issues, but after a dose of simethicone and some aspirin in cool mint tea, she was up and bouncing around like her old self.  Not sure what brought that on, but she's eating and going to the litter box again (part of the reason I waited to post this). 
The irony of her having that type of an issue on her 2nd birthday wasn't lost on me.  Now, on with the pictures!

It's good to see that age hasn't diminished Simon's goofiness.

After getting River to eat a bit of hay and some oats, I felt safe giving them both their birthday breakfast.  I combined their favorite treat of oats with a banana.  Yep, I'm a bunny chef! 
At this point, I heard Simon start buzzing while he was circling me working at the coffee table.  I think he wanted to kiss the cook.

The natives were getting restless.  They kept scenting the air once I peeled the banana and then they both tried to climb into my lap to see what I was making.

Birthday breakfast is served!  They wasted no time scarfing down the oat covered banana slice.  I was actually lucky to snap this picture.  A good time was had by all!
