Our little party animals.

"Human, how do you expect us to make a

banana daiquiri out of this?!"

Simon and River wish you all a very safe and Happy New Year's Eve!  Don't do anything they wouldn't do.
...On second thought, don't do anything Simon wouldn't do.

Corner cuddles...

Are the best cuddles!

Minty fresh.

1 out of 1 River Buns agree that mint is yummy!

Snorgle!

I don't think even they know how they ended up like this.

Christmas 2015!

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!  For those who don't celebrate the holiday, we wish you a very Happy Friday!

Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you have a great weekend.  We'll be back with more bunny cuteness on Monday.

Twinkle toes.

Simon gets into the holiday spirit by performing his rendition of the Dance of the Sugar Plum Bunny.

Noogies!

The bunnies discover that it's just not the same as when the humans do it.

Hello!

River is just a little ball of fluffy cuteness racing your way!  She's a bit disappointed that she can't receive noogies through the computer, though.

Hoppy Monday!

I managed to catch Simon coming and going!

Simon and River's 4th Birthday!

Simon and River enjoying their favorite treats--oats, banana chips, raisins and celery!

They really could be twins with the look of disbelief they gave me at not letting them eat ALL of the treats at once.  It's their special day, but I don't want them to get a special tummy ache as an after-party.  They accepted my portion control when I told them they'd have treats for the week.

Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you have a great weekend!  We'll be back with more bunny cuteness on Monday.

Somebun's jealous!

Mirror bun drama and the importance of not being pushy.

There's no sound, so feel free to watch at work!

Baby River bun!

I was looking through old photos and found this one where River was just learning how to walk on tile.  Those ears!

Oh, before I forget:  People were showing interest in the Fractal Bunnies drawing I posted last week and mentioned it would look cool as a poster.  I finally managed to set up a store where you can get a print if you want one--you choose the size (smaller is cheaper) and paper type.  Here’s the link:   http://www.zazzle.com/bunniesandsunshine*

The store link is also in the sidebar just under Simon and River's followers if you feel the urge to buy bunny related things and stuff.  I should also note that Simon and River are shameless in trying to get you to support their oat and banana habit.  I tried to be the voice of reason...I really did!

Uh, guys?

Was it something I said?

Hover bun.

Where Simon's going, he doesn't need roads!

Simon "helping" me.

Yes, standing in the way while nose-bonking to overturn the newly filled litter box is just another service that he provides!  Simon really likes to micro-manage the entire process of cage cleaning.

Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you have a great weekend!  We'll be back on Monday.

Bunny kisses!

Simon doesn't even care that there's only room for one in the box.  Kisses will be given so long as he can reach!

A new favorite toy!

Simon and River are reaping the benefits of our online Christmas shopping.  Buy a present for a human, get a present for a bunny in the form of packing materials.  Awesome!

Simon sits in his mobile Fortress of Solitude.

All tuckered out after taking their new toy on a grand tour of the living room and discovering how much fun a ridiculously long piece of paper can be.

Bunnies going places!

Giddy-up!  Seriously human, I have places to be and we're going nowhere fast.

Fractal bunnies!  Just something I came up with showing other bunnies going places.  It really is bunnies all the way down.

Bunday morning.

Simon and River greet the day with harrumph and haughtiness.  The bunnies believe that using an alarm clock to wake up is completely unacceptable.

Simon rushes into the weekend.

I don't have the heart to tell him that isn't how time works.

Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you have a great weekend!  We'll be back with more bunny hi-jinks on Monday.

Trust flop fail.

When bunny team-building exercises go wrong.

Reflective little photobomber!

I was trying to catch Simon tossing his wooden ball around when River did a flyby and ate the flash.

Easily distracted.

Simon heeds the siren call to give smooches to mirror bun during a game of follow-the-leader.

Yippee.

This is Simon overjoyed about our new camera.

Thanksgiving aftermath.

Simon and River wonder why they eat themselves into a food coma every year.
Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you have a great weekend!  We'll be back with more bunny cuteness on Monday.

Hoppy Thanksgiving!

Simon and River's reaction to catching a whiff of apple pie baking in the oven.

Jazz tail!

Caught Simon dancing across the living room.  I love how even his little tail has stripes on it!

Good news everyone--we have acquired a new camera!  Once I get the battery charged and get the feel for all the different settings on it, I'll post more recent pics of our dynamic duo.  Just thought you'd like to know!

Bunny finger trap!

I was rubbing River's cheek when she lifted her paw and trapped my finger.  I suspect this is how bunnies catch humans in the wild.

Hoppy Monday!

Simon thought a bit of bunny joy might help brighten your day.

Bumper buns!

If River rammed into Simon with any more force, she would've flipped over him!  I love the "What?" look she give afterwards.

Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you have a great weekend!  We'll be back with more bunny cuteness on Monday.

Go super fast!

River uses her ears for balance as she races around the living room.  I'm amazed that she didn't wipe out given how fast she was going and the fact that she's practically sideways here.

Boop!

"Big human, you need to lean down some so I can nose-bonk you--this is as tall as I can get!  Also, why is your face all pixelated?  Are we in witness protection?!"

It's time to hop and roll!

~90 seconds of soundless bunny fun time for your viewing pleasure!

Bunny solidarity.

Our heartfelt condolences to those who have lost family and friends in the terror attacks in Paris and around the world.  We wish the wounded a quick recovery.  We also want to thank the first responders and everyone who works to help others during their time of greatest need.   

Warp speed engage!

Simon's ears in this pic crack me up!  He just needs a bit more lift for take-off.
Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you have a great weekend!  We'll be back on Monday.

Simon practices his Bun-Fu!

Even bunnies know that practice makes perfect.

There's no sound, so feel free to play this at work.

Simon strikes a pose.

Paint me like one of your French girls!

Bunnies being bunnies.

Just thought you'd like a 'proof of life' video of Simon and River given the whole broken camera situation.  There's no sound, so feel free to play it at work!

Another bright new day!

I love how Simon is all business in the front, party in the back.  River looks like she's contemplating how this will reflect on his annual performance review.

All he needs is a cape.

I caught the amazing Superbun flying around our living room.
Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you have a great weekend!  We'll be back with more bunny cuteness on Monday.

Cuteness overload.

No, really--Simon and River's combined cuteness killed our camera!
Behold the final photo taken with our little point-and-shoot camera (it was a 5 year old Canon PowerShot model).  I still have some good photos for posts and I'll probably post more videos/gifs than usual for the time being.  So, please bear with us until we can acquire a new camera!

River knows what she wants.

And she is all about the tummy rubs!

Pumpkins are awesome!

Simon performs the never before seen 'bunny pumpkin dance' for our viewing pleasure.  The little dude sure likes that pumpkin!

Uh, what pumpkin?

Simon plays 'keep away' with his new favorite toy.  Floppy bunny ears make surprisingly good blindfolds.  He ended up chasing it around the living room like a orange hockey puck (not sure if he was trying to eat it and it kept moving on him or what).

Hoppy Halloween!

Our sleeping dragon is guarding his little princess.

Bonus dragon-bun kisses!
Wishing you all a safe and Happy Halloween!  We'll be back with more bunny cuteness on Monday.

Ghosts of Halloween's past.

I have to admit that my husband is the one who first thought to dress up our rabbit, Penny.  He's a bit fuzzy as to the reason why (aside from it seeming to be a good idea at the time).  When I went searching for the picture, I found it aptly titled:  Do you have any idea how hard it is to pose a rabbit?  He foolishly assumed that she would co-operate and not attempt to play with and/or eat the props.  The lure of the pumpkin was just too great...it had to be tipped over right now.  What you see before you is the culmination of about an hour of enthusiastic play-time and Penny being too tuckered out to heed the siren call of the ceramic pumpkin.

Halloween 2010:

Here is a photo depicting the most patient bunny on the planet.  I can't believe she didn't try to eat the beard.  I think she's just resigned to waiting for the treats after the human stops using the flashy-thing.

Halloween 2011:

Inky's punishment for stealing Penny's Halloween candy was swift and terrible.
A bit of randomness I came up with that fits the season:

Halloween 2012:

Ha!  Give you treats?!  Nice trick.  Now, the way this works is that you give us treats.


I was all sorts of proud that this turned out after eight and a half hours of carving.  I haven't carved a pumpkin since I was 9 years old (pretty sure I got it all out of my system here).  I didn't have any proper carving tools, so I made do with an exacto-knife, a paring knife, a calligraphy nib, a spoon and some tips you use to pipe icing with (because they were sharp and metal).  I also found out the hard way that candles don't really work to light up a pumpkin if you don't do a cut-through.
Halloween 2013:

And they said that making a rabbit-themed version of 

Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven couldn't be done!

Halloween 2014:

 

 

 

 

Overall, I'd have to say that Simon and River tolerated their first real costumes pretty well.  Giving them both a hay cube probably helped.

 

Thanks for visiting the blog and be sure to come back tomorrow for a special Halloween post!  See you then!
