Snakes and Nursery! Happy Fathers Day!

Auntie Amber took us to the museum a week ago. It was cool. There was a room full of fake sharks (which the girls refused to enter), a shrunken head (you're right Amber. I shouldn't have gone looking for it. SO CREEPY.) and snakes!!!!

Yup, Ella refused to go in the room with a fake shark, but she held a gigantic albino python.

I liked the snake when I held it. It was bumpy. And soft. I would not like to have a snake in my room, but I would hold one again.

Here she is learning about snakes from the super nice museum guy:


Touching the pretty wittle snake...


Holding the SUPER HUGE snake... (Sorry these pics are sideways. I need to fix that...)


So brave, my little girl!


And Happy Fathers Day!

Thoughts About My Dad, by Ella Stott
I love to play with my Dad. Puzzles. I like to play with him a lot.

Oh yeah, and today was Gretchen's first day of nursery at church. (When babies turn 18 months you get to ditch them at the baby Sunday School where they play with toys, eat snacks & sing songs. It's pretty fantastic.) I stayed in nursery too. Not because I was worried about her, per say, more worried for the other children. She only made one boy bleed. He was gettin' all up in her puzzles. She did NOT like that. He got a quick "Gretch Special", a cheek pinch with fingernails. Dude. DUDE! There were four other little boys in Nursery. She's the youngest. And she's a girl. And she had them all running in fear. The oldest kid kept running to the Nursery Leader saying, "Save me! Save me!" and at one point barricaded himself in the corner behind a metal folding chair. Sigh.

But she IS afraid of fake sharks.
