A Snake & A Bird

We had a tremendous amount of excitement for a Saturday morning and all before 10 a.m. Camden and Tim were heading out the door first thing to run an errand. I heard Tim say, "Oh NO, get out, go!" I asked what was the matter and he said nothing and slammed the door shut. Naturally I got up and ran to open the door to see what it was. It was a baby snake and Tim told me to get a shovel. He said that Camden went out the door first and then the snake fell down. He was hanging out over our front door. Now, can you just imagine if that snake would have fallen on one of our heads? I would need to be medicated for the rest of my life!!

When they got back home, Camden was playing in the backyard with Tim. Next thing I see is Tim on the deck trying to pry Bentley's mouth open. I run to see what he has and there is a bird foot sticking out of his mouth. I asked if that was what I thought it was?!? Tim is trying with all his might to keep Bentley's mouth open and yelling at me to get the thing out of his mouth. So, I naturally did what all outdoorsy type hunting women do...I grabbed Tim's bathing suit off the rail and grabbed the bird foot and pulled without looking. I almost lost it when I pulled the bird leg clean off. Meanwhile, Bentley has still got an alligator death grip on this poor bird. I didn't have time to freak out because Tim was yelling at me to hurry up and get it. So, without looking again, using the bathing suit I reached all the way down Bentley's throat and I wasn't sure if I had Bentley's tongue or the bird, but I just pulled and out the little bird came. Bless his little heart, but he didn't make it. So gross. 

Then I asked Tim if we needed to load up some guns for the next freak of nature that might occur. All I could say was "WOW" and not really sure if maybe a grizzly bear was going to charge us next. Not a good day for nature at our house, that is for sure!!!
