Mud pies for sale!
Picture taken at the NC Zoo last month. The mud pie creation area was most impressive.
Last week Pierce came inside and said, "Mom! There's a snake on the front step. I think it is a copperhead. It is brown and has spots on it"
I told him to come inside.
I went out to investigate.
Know what I found?
A four inch slug on the step.
And yes, it did have spots.
ze hebben hem dan toch maar mooi gevonden.
ReplyDeleteThat's the only "snake" I could tolerate. Hope the boys did not eat too much mud :-)
ReplyDeleteThose slugs can be vicious
ReplyDeleteGotta luv mud pies and little boys!
ReplyDeleteTime for a trip to the reptile house at the zoo!

ReplyDeleteSo did you buy one of those pies?
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute photo. Glad it wasn't a snake!!!!
ReplyDeleteEwww to the slug. I am somehow glad you did NOT post it! Knowing you, I bet you just transported it away from the house. The Mud Pie stand is hilarious, and what a cute picture!! Where is this zoo, I have never heard of it. I thought I had been to all the zoos around here. Is it the Mill Mountain one? Is it a good zoo?
ReplyDeleteNow, that is just the cutest photo EVER!! :)
ReplyDeleteA slug???? HA HA ---how funny, but he was a big one. Your kids are so smart... Glad it wasn't a big,bad snake though.. YIPES....

Well at least he knows the name of a bad snake. I may prefer looking at a snake as opposed to a 4" slug.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Well....that's sorta like a snake!
ReplyDeleteLOL! They do grow things a lot bigger down your way, Baby Girl! Did I ever tell you that I used to bake mud pies when I was a kid?...:)JP
ReplyDeleteMud pie... remind me toy childhood! And the 'snake' is fairy big, I think it will chewing the little plant quickly...
ReplyDeleteI think I need to set up a mud pie station at my house. Okay maybe not, I don't want to clean up the mess!!!
ReplyDeleteI remember once when Anika was in Elem, I was taking her to school. As we were driving down the road she started screaming and crying. She said there was a snake and it went under her seat. Luckily, I didn't wreck but once I got pulled over it was just a centipede. I could have killed her. She scared me to death.
Love the idea of a mud pie station. I bet the kids loved it more.
ReplyDeleteBetter safe than sorry with the slug! I've seen those slugs--those spots make it look rather scary.
ReplyDeleteYour boys have such great imaginations. Great picture of them playing store. :-)
that would be very fun!

Damn those slugs! Masquerading as poisonous serpents. !
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute picture!
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny about the "Snake".
This week Mica told me, "Mom I killed 3 spiders with my Indiana Jones' whip." I told him to clean up the spider guts. I said, "Are you sure you killed 3?" He said, "Yep..Oh wait just 1, the other ones were wood grain on the floor."
Better safe than sorry with the snake/slug. ;)
ReplyDeleteI like the mud pie fun, lol. I hope you brought along a change of clothes. :D
I LOVE THESE KIDS! SUCH great minds!
