A Snake In My... WHAT...

Saturday I was awakened by Asher coming in my room yelling, "There's a snake in our house." Asher is typically the serious child, so this statement coming from him alarmed me a little more than it would have coming from one of the others. Trying to maintain my composure I inquired as to where the alleged snake was? He informed me it was downstairs. He proceded to tell me he was sitting in the chair and it came from over there and went under the coffee table. I looked under the coffee table... AND THERE IT WAS!!
It was only about 8 inches long and the boys of course wanted to keep it as a pet. HA!! No! We did catch it and bring it to the Nature Center which is about 2 miles from our house and we released it into the wild. Tears were shed (not by me) and our "pet" is in it's new home... 2 miles away.

You've probably noticed already, but I had some spare time so I changed the blog layout. Hope you like it... I do.

Wow! I thought I was lost. It's impressive. That is the new format, NOT the snake. Yuk! I don't like snakes. How can the boys be so brave and touch the thing?? Glad you got rid of it - - or I'm sure it would be a looong
time before my visit.
Love,
Mom

Hey Kara! Thinking of you often--I have been meaning to call and will soon, promise. OK, your boys are looking WAY too grown up!!! You are so very lucky!!! (and also lucky the snake is not going to grow up with them):)
Much love,
