I love surprises- I do and I am terribly impatient so I have a hard time surprising anyone with anything because I get so excited I have to tell them. Today as I was assembling a "surprise mystery package" for a some friends
(I have blogged before about my intense love of the "surprise mystery package" but seriously it is something I dream about at night--when the doorbell rings and you answer it to see the UPS guy driving off and there before you on your doorstep is a mystery in a brown box- waiting for you to open it-- this is where the warm fuzzies set in) smart son came bounding into the playroom telling me he had a surprise. His line is always "close you eyes and put out your hands" to which i responds "I will only put out my hands if it is not alive"
(he has no fear- and can catch any creature!) Well today the surprise was one of my least favorite things a snake- yes, he caught it himself on the sidewalk. Tip for smart son- the mystery package is welcomed more warmly when it isn't alive and doesn't hiss...(we should've invited him to our sn@kes on a cake party!)

Ewwwww! You are a much braver woman than I! I would have been shreeking something unintelligible about getting the thing out of my house, not grabbing the camera!
