More Goat Bell

It's been crazy around here. The Husband had the week off so we've been busting our asses working around the house. He's got part of the patio knocked down and already has plans for the rebuild, it's going to be beautiful.

My parents, one of my brothers, his wife and kids came in this weekend so I had a full house. My eldest nephew LOVED the goats, he even fed them and just giggled while they slobbered all over his hands. Love that kid! He was fighting off an ear infection so he was a bit crankier than usual but still just adorable. The younger one is still just a tiny guy and I loved him to death. He's sooooo cute and furry. It was nice having them all here, but I'm also glad to be able to walk around naked again.

We geocached a bit but mostly sat around bull shitting and watching the eldest boy play with my little people toys I brought out for him. My mom and dad had a blast showing me their dive vacation videos and pictures. Very beautiful area in Mexico they went to, glad they finally got to go on a vacation with no kids. It's their first with no kids in over 20 years of marriage. Crazy.

All in all it was a fun week, but I need a nap!

Husby and I are working around the house. OK, fine, I'm just following him around while he works. He's hanging new lights in the dining room and looking to put one in my laundry room. He decided he'd see what he could scavenge from his garage.

He'd just walked into the garage and was surveying the maze of junk when a movement startled him. The hugest garter snake we have ever seen goes scurrying off. We weren't for sure what it was, I ran inside to investigate. Husby has issues killing things that aren't harmful. I'm not prejudiced. If it's slimey, slithery or a bug it should be dead, imo. Screw mother nature and the circle of life.

Luckily our visitor was a garter snake. I kid you not the thing is between 5 and 6 feet long. Husby is outside trying to get a picture of it for the blog. Our new friend is not being as cooperative though.
