Reese is super into posing for the camera these days. She told Ryan to take her picture. These are just a few of the poses she came up with. I find it hilarious that she thought rolling around on the floor was an acceptable pose.
We went to see Sesame Street Live again this year. The show was called Elmo’s Healthy Heroes. It was all about things you should do to be healthy, eat veggies, take naps, brush your teeth, etc. She really enjoyed the show and told Ryan all about it when he got home. If only I could get her to listen to Elmo about taking naps, I would be on easy street.
Reese got this dress from her Nana for Valentine’s Day. She LOVES wearing it. So much in fact that she asks to put it on as soon as she gets home from Stroller Strides or school. She wore it yesterday as it was her outfit of choice. You should have seen her at Subway in her dress with her purse on her shoulder while we were out to eat. Too bad she didn’t pay.
If you look closely you’ll see the snake carcass in the grass. The neighbor’s dog was barking non stop for 20 minutes, I finally couldn’t take it anymore and went out to investigate. Turns out he smelled out the snake on our side of the fence and was barking at it. The snake saw me right away and hissed and lunged at me. I knew I needed to take matter into my own hands if I wanted the dog to quit barking. I called Ryan to consult about the issue before I committed murder. After putting on my leopard print rain boots (as to protect my legs from potential snake bites) I took out the shovel. I beat it once on the head with the shovel but that only angered the snake even more. Then it lunged and hissed again. I showed the snake what happens when you hiss at a Mama…I bludgeoned it to the point of no return. I knew I got it’s head off the first time, but it was still moving, so I kept chopping. So much that it’s head in now buried from my massive shovel attack. I left it in the grass for Ryan to check out when he got home. It’s non-venomous snake but either way, snakes are not welcome at my house. At least now I know I can be a snake killer if need be, although I hope I don’t have to again.
I am now trying to convince Ryan that since I completed a man’s job by killing the snake, he should complete a woman’s “job” and clean the house. I’ll let you know how that goes.

too funny about the snake! Someone should have taken your pic with boots, shovel and dead snake!!! you are so brave!
we are going to SS Live in a few weeks - it's our first time going to anything like it. And way to go on the snake-choppin'!
In Oklahoma, they have a rattlesnake festival. The chopped off the head and gutted it for the audience. The heart kept beating outside it's body for 5-10 minutes. Disgusting.
