The Snake Lady



It’s been a busy few days. Andrew’s 7th birthday was on Wednesday, which was also the last day of school. Last night was Andrew’s birthday party. The ‘Snake Lady’ was the entertainment for the evening. She brought an assortment of creatures including turtles, snakes, a bullfrog, tarantulas, cockroaches and a millipede. Needless to say, they held the attention of 7 boys for a good hour and a half. All creatures coming into the house were accounted for on the Snake Lady’s departure.

Today Sean has gone on a field trip to Storybook Gardens and Andrew is at home playing with all his new things. I’m not used to having anyone home with me during the week so I had to make sure Andrew was occupied as I snuck a piece of leftover birthday cake at 9am this morning. Of course if he had of asked for a piece of cake at 9am I would probably have told him he couldn’t eat cake so early in the morning. Oh the power of being a parent.

I'm glad all the creatures were accounted for after the party. Since reading the blog, I have been mumming the words to the song " I don't like spiders and snakes" Probably before your time!
Love and prayers, Bob

What a great idea! I know some little boys and a little girl in my family who would just love that for their birthday treat. Keane is 1 year old today (4th July) so he's probably a bit too young yet.
It's lovely to see pictures of your boys - you must be so proud of them.
Love to you all
