Snakes

Our home teachers have snakes and they sometimes call my kids when they are going to feed them rats so they can come watch. Last night they called and of course my my kids were all for going. Well Ethan my 7 year old was given the chance to feed the rat to the smaller snake. He was so excited so he wasn't really listening to the instructions. Instead of tossing the rat into the box he started lowering it into the box and all the sudden the snake tried to go for the rat and got Ethan's wrist instead. He's so tough though he didn't even cry well not in front of everyone . Our home teacher took him in the house to get band aids and he shed a couple but he assured our home teacher they were tears of joy! :) The pict's aren't the greatest but hes got all these little dots in the shape of a bite mark its pretty cool looking. He hopes they'll still be there when school starts so he has a good show and tell.

Yikes, that is scary! I hate snakes!! We have one that keeps coming into our yard and I'm so afraid it is going to bite one of the kids. Ethan is a tough boy!
