After the Sssnake

After the Snake we all went to my mom and dad's house where we had some delicious burgers. Everyone loved them except Jackson who nibbled on a potato chip.

Then my dad, Jasper and David went target shooting.

One of Jasper's targets is shown below. I think this was his first target page, or whatever you call it.

Honestly, I don't see the appeal of target shooting, or shooting in general. Hunting - what for? Doesn't seem fun to me! But my dad loves it, and Jasper is a fan as well.

My sister Staci, my mom and I made our own fun shopping with Jackson at the D.I., some consignment stores and Hobby Lobby - my new favorite place.

Overall, good times were had by all.

Ssssnake!

Saturdays are my favorite days. I love cleaning everything and I love everyone else cleaning things too. There's nothing like relaxing in your basement after a long day of chores to watch a family movie together. Of course tonight its the Suns vs Lakers. Go Suns!!

Earlier today while I was scouring the kitchen and Jasper was cleaning his room (is it just Jasper or do all pre-adolescents take two hours to clean their room?), David was outside doing some yard work. He came inside with Jackson's blue bucket looking very eager.

David: Where's Jackson?

Me: I just barely put him down for his nap. Why, what's in that?

David: A SNAKE! (he was grinning)

Me: Well he's not asleep yet, I'll go get him.

To Jackson's delight he was saved from his nap to meet his first snake ever.

Jackson: EeeeAhhh!!!

Jasper pretty much had the same reaction.

Jasper: Yes! Can I have it?

Jackson Eeeed and Ahhhed, and SSSSsssssed and then ran off to play. Jasper moved on to his next chore of mowing the lawn, when after a while he ran inside.

Jasper: The SNAKE is GONE!

Me: What?

Jasper: And the back door was OPEN!

Me: WHAT?

Jasper: He could be inside or outside!!

Apparently Jasper lovingly put some stuff inside the bucket he thought the little guy would enjoy - rocks, grass, sticks. Unfortunately this stuff also enabled him to make his escape.

Anyone want to come over and see if its inside our outside?
