Couldn't Wait

We really couldn’t… it was one of those mornings where everyone is just getting on each other’s nerves and the whole house is raw… three days of cold rain… Britt and I thought it would be a good Sunday to set up the kid’s rooms… give them each their own room… but man did that ever turn out to be a whole boatload of work!!! We thought we’d invite some of the boy’s friends over so they could chill together while we did the work… no… no one was getting along at all… so .. finally the sun peaked thru the clouds and we just couldn't wait to vacate the premises. And so was Alf who had to put up with all the furniture moving noise upstairs while he was trying to get some work done…

So we took Aman’s friend Ethan and caught a duck and a nice king snake. A new romp along a river close by… the duckling thought the boys were its mama and would not stop following us. We caught it, ooooohd and aaahhd over it, contemplated taking it home and then let it go at the lake at the end of the river with the rest of its siblings who we found swimming around…. Swimming around presenting themselves as potential snake meals for the two snakes we saw one of which we caught. Never a dull moment in the Alschuler-Ruhe household.
