We live by a park, which is next to a field, which is next to a highway. We have a ton of animals that come into our yard, which are the bain of Eric's existence, if he were superman these animals would be his kryptonite. Not only have they destroyed the yard, they seem to be immune to all types of traps. We triied almost everyhthing this summer, if we can't get rid of them, I fully expect Eric to go caddy shack on them next. We also get a ton of creepy things, snakes, rodents, bugs. Today as we were cleaning up toys from the backyard i heard Eric yelp followed by
"UGH SNAKE"
he was actually very calm, which shows he has gotten better as a father. By not freaking out (as he normally would have) he was able to get the snake a good distance away from all of us. Now, upon inspection of the snake, he really wasn't anything to be afraid of, but we are trying to teach the boys that all snakes could be dangerous and we don't want them messing with them. We all kind of woo'd and ahh'd over him and i got a couple shots of him (from a distance) as he curled around trying to make himself invisible. I think he's kinda cute. (he looks a lot bigger in the picture than he was)
And then there are the bugs we have. Yesterday morning Eric went outside to leave for work but came back in and said
"Sam, there's a walking stick by the front door"
I grabbed the boys and headed up he was all kinds of cool hanging out on the side of the house.
