rattlesnake

so the kids are in bed...only just...
and stella is barking at something RIGHT outside our back door
i glance out the window and see a very large rattlesnake just hanging out there
i get josh
he gets his shotgun and he killed it.


this one at the outset was aggressive (stella was barking...so maybe this is why)
it was coiled and rattling when we came up on it...
harry found his way inside and under jack's bed...which made esme alerted and she woke up jack and they came to check out the commotion...hopefully they wont' dream of snakes...
what a day! crafting snakes and finding a snake!!! ahh!
