Halloween 2006

What a great night we had! Sebastien and Hannah trick-a treated around the whole neighborhood as Mommy, Daddy and Michelle (Hannah's Aunt) pulled them in the wagon. Bash dressed up in his alligator costume and Daddy wore his 1980's rockstar wig. Joe brought out one of our snakes and the kids in the neighborhood loved touching it. You gotta love Halloween in Florida...you can just sit outside your house in 70 degree weather with tiki torches and jack-o-lanterns all around you! I love Halloween.

What I learned today: There is such a thing as eating too much candy.

A Very Long Evening

Last night went something like this...

Joe comes home a little early to watch a movie with Bash and carve pumpkins. Joe goes upstairs and notices the snake cage open.....so much for family time watching a movie. Sebastien comes running downstairs screaming for a flashlight because Butterscotch is loose. (Butterscotch is our 4 foot snake) After I recover from the shock, I get the boys flashlights. Sebastien admits to opening the cage when his friend was over that morning, so the snake has been out for about 9 hours. I try not to panic and join in on the hunt. (there is no way I will sleep with a 4 foot snake slithering around)

One hour later....no snake

Two hours later.....no snake

Three hours later....... every stone unturned, refrigerator moved, closets emptied, Joe pissed, Kristyn worried, Sebastien (who is now asleep) moved out of his room so we can hunt through the mass of toys......we find Butterscotch.

He was in Sebastien's top dresser drawer, under a pile of clothes.

What I learned today: I need a lock for the snake cages.
