I had packed the suv the night before and only had a few thing left to put in the back ..
So I get up and get ready to head out at 4am So as i was getting the kids dress i send Jason out to put the last few things in the Suv and he yells Mandy do you want to see something scary .. So i run outside to find a snake in front of jason and he pushing it around with a broom ... So I yell Are you crazy that could be a Venomous snake.....
so i tell him to kill it before it hurt a kid or a dog....
So gets the shovel and cuts his head off..
So he picks it up after its dead
And throws it away...
Does anyone know what kind of snake that was ?? Its Just scary because what if i would have sent the kids out there to get in the car.... scary..
So we get everything else packed in the back ... and head out...
