ready to catchToday was a very exciting day for Sean, but not so much for me or my neighbor. We started out our day running errands. I have to say that Sean is pretty good when we go on errands. Of course, he loved getting a car wash, also. When, we got home, as I was pulling into the driveway my heart stopped. I knew right away that is was a snake. It wasn't a small garden snake, but a snake about 18 inches long, thick and brown w/ spots. Right away, I called Kenny. I don't know why because he was at work. Then, I locked Sean in the car and ran over to my neighbor's house and told him. By the time he came out, the snake had slithered away and we couldn't find it. I jumped back into the car and headed to the feed store (yes, we do live in the country :)) and bought some snake repellent. Sean was excited. He says that he wants to touch the snake, but I kept telling him that it could bite us and we would be hurt. My neighbor came over to check on us and said that he, too, is afraid of snakes. Poor guy, here I was asking him to snake hunt for me.
I'm still very leery and won't play in the backyard until Kenny spreads the repellent and even then, I'm going to be nervous.
On a brighter note, Sean had t-ball tonight and they took individual and team pics. Sean was so good and looked so cute standing for the team pic with his hands behind his back like the other boys.
I also informed Kenny that Sean is under the impression that Kenny is going to kill the snake for us. After all, he thinks Kenny is his hero. He said, "my daddy will kill that snake for us, mommy". Let's pray that the snake is gone!!
