and baby makes 6!

It's just another day in paradise

Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails

That’s what little boys bring home to my house.

Colorful snakes

(No, not a coral.  Remember….Red on yellow, kill a fellow, red on black, venom lack.)

Isn’t my life interesting?

    I am sooooooo glad I have girls.

    That is all I have to say. :)

    I don’t think I’d get close enough to see if it was red on yellow or not. I don’t mind lizards, but snakes are just not my favorite. (do you have lots of these around you?)

    You are a much nicer Mommy than me. Mt boys are all very clear on the fact that they will need to find their own residence if they wish to cohabitate with snakes!

    Hm… maybe there are advantages to living in Ireland ;-)

    very cool! I’m so impressed that you let it come home – I’m all about “here, take a picture!”

    my in-laws are here from Fort worth, and we had to rename everything the girls make out of clay as “worms” as my MIL is phobic about snakes. v glad she isn’t here right now, ‘cos I love this picture.

    And I always heard “red and yellow kill a fellow, red and black, friend of Jack”, but I like the “venom lack” one too.

    I second that whole “glad I have girls” thing. That picture made me lose my breath for a second!

    No way my boys are bringing a snake in the house! I don’t mind them outside, but the thought of the thing getting loose and slithering around in my home makes me shiver!

    Yes, and you with your passion for all life..let him keep it of course. I bet you were almost as excited as he was. :-)

    I haven’t a problem with snakes. We just don’t have any around here for my son to find and bring home. (Altho, if I lived further north a mile or two..the rattlers would probably come visiting.)

    So if any snake is red on yellow its dangerous? I will be searching the ground every morning when I walk.
