Snake in the studio

A few of you have asked why I'm not using my studio yet.  Well, it's not done, for one thing.  For another...I can't have the girls around things like THIS.

Look what's hiding beside that box.  What is it, you ask?  It's a four foot long snake, that's what.  This is NOT the first snake to visit our shop/studio.  Why can't they just stay outside?

Here is Adam removing the snake.  I'm in the process of moving all the stuff out of my studio into his shop so the construction guys can come in an spray drywall compound on the walls.  See all the lady junk in the background? 

I found 5 brown recluses while moving that stuff.  NOW I'm petrified to keep moving stuff. 

Can you imagine how much I'm cringing every single time I pick up a box now?

Louisiana Road Trip

We took a roadtrip to Shreveport this past weekend.

I couldn't find Fangtasia.  Bummer.Adam racked up more trophies at an arm wrestling tournament in Shreveport.  Three were first place-yay, honey!  He even gave one of them away since it was a team trophy. Hey, My Little Pony fans-it's Pinkie Pie's Boutique.  Look familiar?

And how do we know when we're back in Texas?  (Other than the obvious?)We know we're back home when the gas stations have dead animals in glass boxes.  That's how we know.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy day to all you moms out there.  It's a rewarding, exhausting, heart-wrenching job like no other.

 

Violet made me a card at school, with the help of her preschool teachers, Ms. Lori and Ms. Megan.  Hey, teachers-can you PLEASE not believe everything my child says?

(Note:  Family Guy is not my favorite show.  Nor do I like going to Walmart.  And I can think of better things to eat than cereal.  But I'll take the 100 pounds comment.)

Here are some drawings Violet made me for Mother's Day.

Poor Daisy.

That should say 'has', but it's my holiday so I'm not going back to fix it.  Princess Cat gets time out a lot in her drawings lately.

My personal favorite...Violet and Piper, with big bows.

She also drew a picture of me, but I can't FIND it!  Dang it, she draws twenty things a day.  I'm a horse, but with my head.  I have six legs and a rainbow hide.

I love being a mother.
