Mud Pies

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.

That's the only "snake" I could tolerate. Hope the boys did not eat too much mud :-)

Ewww 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?

Well at least he knows the name of a bad snake. I may prefer looking at a snake as opposed to a 4" slug.

Lin said...

I 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!!!

I 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.

Better safe than sorry with the slug! I've seen those slugs--those spots make it look rather scary.

Your boys have such great imaginations. Great picture of them playing store. :-)

Such a cute picture!

That'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."
