The Birthday Party

The boys party turned out really nice and I have a ton of pictures....it has been a long week trying to get ready for a garage sale! We had a small party for the boys at the Sportsplex in Laurel near our house, the weather could not have been nicer and the kids played hard and had a great time. They had a "2" pinata at the party and all the little kids caught right on and dove for the candy after Uncle Matthew had to do the busting. They got a lot of great things for their birthday from their family and friends. When we got home from the party Pappy and Nana Pierce gave them this big Delta Airplane, it's like nothing I have ever seen, very cool! We gave them classic Radio Flyer trikes and they picked up on them pretty fast, they still don't run to get on them but if you ask they will get on and peddle for a little while. They got to eat some cake after lunch and blow out a candle. I also took them to Wal-Mart to pick out a prize and they each got a Tonka Rescue truck. It was a great weekend minus the snake that was came to visit while we were at the party, I came in on it as we got home. Everyone was outside looking at the new plane and I thought for millisecond it was a toy snake and I quickly remembered we don't allow those for good reason anymore! It was a King Snake but who REALLY cares!? Like Heather says " a good snake is a dead snake" and no snake is a friend of mine regardless how great they are! Matthew caught it and released it by the wood pile/pond at the end of our yard. So now my extreme snake phobia is back in full action and I am constantly looking everywhere for them. You see the same thing happened at this time last year (something about the weather changing I guess) and Joel had to come home from work and kill it in the Kitchen. The jury is still out to whether that one was a Copper Head or a Water snake....eeeek!! Good weekend all in all. Stay tuned for next post it is sure to be a page-turner, we are going to try to have a garage sale this weekend! Just kidding!
