Cute Face

I just love this little face

Pumpkin Patch

We had a very cold, wet and very muddy trip to the pumpkin patch yesterday. We learned that Malaki can climb in and out of the wagon and Olivia is getting to the age that she's not such a compliant model for Mom and Dad anymore. Oh, by the way, Malaki is pretty much walking, has been for the last week. He still gets down and crawls but he can stand up from the ground and walk, which added to the messy day!

Unwanted visitor

We live just into the country and we have a greenbelt right behind our house which has given the wonderful opportunity to be one with nature (not) and the nature I'm the least thrilled to be introduced is the snake. Especially since we do in live in an area that has poisonous ones. Since moving in 2 years ago, we have had 2 snakes in the house and 2 in the garage and 3-4 in the yard.

We have had a week of raining and the creek behind us was pretty high, so I'm sure this is why this little guy was up near us and I've never seen this one. By my research, I think it's a Texas Rat snake, if I'm wrong, I don't want to know. But it was on our outside wall climbing (I'm sure from the dogs). Tomas of course grabbed the camera and it actually got away before we could help it out of the yard. We now have snake repellent around the outside of the house.
