No.1 being: "I'm such a terrible mother. How could I have not scanned my yard for snakes today?"
No.2: horror at the thought of a snake biting Calvin.
No.3: absolute curiosity to see a colorful snake in my very own backyard(at least in my mind it was colorful).
I grabbed Calvin's hand, told Finn to stand back, and asked Calvin to show me where the snake was. We rounded the corner of the deck and I fully expected that this "colorful" snake had slithered away. But lo and behold, Calvin pointed his finger and said "see it right dere?"
A close-up of Calvin's *snake*
In case you could not tell, it was a worm. Oh Calvin, can't you stay 2 forever? Well, that was the excitement of our day.
That worm looks mighty big in that picture...obviously because it's close up, but from a "little" perspective I bet it seemed like a snake! I remember I thought my 1st grade teacher was ancient back then, come to find out she was in her late 20s.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe those boys would play outside instead of practice their drums...hmmm...I'm not sure Tommy would approve ;) Unless, they had already finished practicing of course.
i love everything they say.
