Ethan’s Snake Party!!!

We finally had Ethan’s Birthday party this weekend. We waited for school to start so that he could invite his classmates to the party.  The theme of the party, SNAKES!!!

Missy found a picture of a cake on the internet and had our local bakery make this one up for us. We had Clint the snake guy come to our party. I highly recommend him to anyone in the Houston area. He brought a lizard and several snakes to the party. This is definitely a party the kids are going to remember.

Ethan was quite at ease with the snakes and he loved every minute of it.

Jordan enjoyed them quite a bit too. They all non-venomous snakes and everyone got a chance to handle the snakes. Ethan was the only kid, though, to handle the big guy all by himself.

Missy didn’t quite take to the snakes at first. Our last snake encounter involved a lot of screaming on her part and a garden hoe on mine. She stayed pretty squeamish for the first part of the party. I think the snakes eventually won her over. I know I won’t be able to use a garden hoe on them ever again.

Of all the parties we have ever done for the boys this was probably the neatest.  I think everyone at the party had a blast and learned a lot at the same time.  In fact, Jordan has already requested a snake party for next year for his birthday. Check out the flickr photos to the right for more pictures.

On baby news, we are getting closer. The official due date is October 28th. The doctor feels pretty confident, however, that we will be able to induce 2 weeks early.  We keep every updated when its closer with all of the details.
