Spring Toes

I am really missing getting my toe nails done on Oki! They act all put out when i ask for the most simplest of designs! So, here are my spring toes after the guy was sooo annoyed at me for wanting a different color on each toe and polka dots on top of that! GRRRRR!!!

Phones Are Great!

I'm at the gym finishing up my work out and my phone rings. It is Jorden. He has just gotten home from school and says there was a snake on our front porch and he took care of it. Next, an image comes over my phone.....

Snake Season is Here!

I HATE snakes!! Especially anything that can bite you and kill you!! I've taught my kids to treat EVERY snake as an enemy combatant. We live in an area surrounded by forest. Several of our neighbors had close calls last summer and early fall. These ranged from snakes coiled in the backyards to sitting on freezers in garages. UHG! On each occassion the snakes were deadly, so that did little to lower my fear levels of this place that i have grumbled about since day one.....today Jorden came home to a 4 foot snake by our front door. He grabbed one of his hockey sticks and went for the head. First shot, perfect shot and snake died. Yay Jorden!! He cut off its head so it would stop wiggeling all over the place. It turned out to not be poisonous, but we beleive in killing all intruders first and ask questions later! Ty and Ryan had fun holding it and than proceeded to take it around the neighborhood and show all of thier friends! Needless to say, all the kids now know to be on the look out that snakes are now out and about!!! Later they threw the carcass out into the forest. I'm now gonna go out and buy that Snake Away stuff and make sure our perimiter is covered with it!!!

Garden #2

I slaved away planting my garden. Came out the next morning and Leah had not only destroyed my garden, but ate everything as well! Grrrrr! I worked really hard hauling in dirt and replanted garden #2. She stayed out for a couple of days, but she keeps jumping in and and i find different spots dug up. I re-burry what's been dugg up and i guess we will just see what ends up coming up!

Strawberry Picking

I decided to take Ty and Ryan strawberry picking at the farm by our house. They grumbled the whole way there but actually had fun once we got there and they began dropping yummy berries in thier buckets!
