Snakes

Today my husband found a harmless Garden Snake in our front yard. I myself want little to do with anything like that. My children totally surprised me. Derek was the first to handle the little thing. Such a boy thing so not too big a deal. He even wanted to keep it. NOT!! September, still spotted with chicken pox, had to have her turn happily. Wynter on the other hand was much more girlie about it. She looked at it and squealed a couple times. Then she became intrigued that her sister and brother had no problem with it. They eventually coaxed her to hold it, with two fingers only of course. I even had time to take pictures before I had them put it back were it belonged (away from me).

I decided to use this moment to explain to the kids to never touch any snakes without an adult around. Here in Oklahoma there are many poisonous snakes that could harm and even kill them. You can never be too careful.
