Chicago and the Beginning of the End

We went and visited Chicago again this weekend. We enjoyed it a lot. This time we went to the Chicago Art Institute and the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. We also got to ride the trains through the city and walk along the Magnificent Mile(a mile full of 6o retail shops).
Mulan stayed at CCI. Her ears are tons better. The antibiotics and medication we have been using have really payed off.
I am sure you are wondering what the "beginning of the end" is. Last night when we got home we found Mulans forms for turn-in, in the mail. We were all very somber. She will be turning in May 19th. I just thought everyone would like to know.
So to brighten up the mood I have a story for everyone about my hamster.
Last night when I got home my hamster's lid was ajar(it had to be my hamster not my sisters) and he was gone! Our neighbor who had been caring for them had put food and water in bowls on the floor. Naturally we all freaked out!
I searched eveywhere! Finally I a trail of bedding lead me to out new sofa bed. I pulled off the cushions and there was my hamster sitting in a huge nest of chewed up sofa cushion and hamster food! The cushions look awful! My mom is so angry. She has not talked to me since last night. It's not like I chewed them up! I know this story might seem funny to everyone else but I am still in the middle of it. So everyone hope that my mom forgives me soon. Though I really don't blame her:)

Oh what a mess that must have been. I sympathize. Better to find the mess and put up with the disgruntled mom than to find the hamster by smell near the furnace. I hope he enjoyed his few days of freedom.
