three weeks old

I can't remember if I told ya'll about the gerbil babies. We have one brown (brindle) male gerbil and one white female gerbil.
On a Sunday, 19 days ago, Scout was getting some cereal for breakfast and he passed by the cage to see the gerbils had five babies. One of them only lived one day but the rest have done very well. There is one brown one two tan ones and a white one.
Now i'm no gerbil expert so I don't know if they will stay the same colors or not but they are really cute. Although they still have not opened their eyes yet.
We took the papa out of the cage when we found them because the reason that we have the two in the first place is because the little girl that gave them to us said the papa hurt the last litter of babies. Mama has been a really good mama, she is right there with them all the time. We never really named them, so I am just calling them mama and papa. I want to name the four babies now that they have some color. I was thinking about naming then after the Beatles but I havn't sold it to the boys yet. They don't really care about who the Beatles are. Too bad.
Scout has decided that he wants his B-day party tomorrow. He's going to be twelve on Monday. He just wants pizza and a carvel cake. He wants to take all his friends to the pool. This is going to be fun for me. I mean I just had my carpets cleaned and my house put back together and he wants 12 kids to come over and eat! I'm ready for it though. I can't beleive I have a twelve year old! Wow how time flies!!!
