Our first excursion with the cousins was to the ponds and creek. Becca was wonderful with the little ones on the trip cross country and is viewed as a sort of big sister by them while they are away from their parents.
Did you know that Oompa Loompas hunt in packs? Did you know that they don't sleep? Did you know that these little troll-like creatures constantly chatter in a mono-tone of SHOUT? They have no 'indoor voice'. And Oompa Loompas from the south fart just as bad as Oompa Loompas from the mountains. My house was positively flammable yesterday. Fortunately for us the EPA had already conducted its air-quality tests for the month, otherwise this house would have been condemned!
Yesterday I gained 'hero' status after catching a huge garder snake for my nephew. He is facinated yet terrified of snakes, and when we went to the ponds, that was his goal, to see a snake. Once he saw one, he wanted to touch it, but he wanted ME to catch it! And now... he wants to take it home! Yeah, I'm sure my sister-in-law would love me for that one! So I made him a deal, if he asks his mom, and she tells me in my ear over the phone that he can have a snake, then I will try to catch another one for him... but just between us I don't see that happening... call it a hunch!
