Pablo the Snake

Cruise has asked and asked for a pet snake for awhile. In fact, he even prays about it. One night, Cruise's prayer went something like this:

"Dear Heavenly Father, thank Thee for this day. Bless the snakes and that Mommy will buy me a snake. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."

That prayer alone made we want to break down and buy the poor boy a snake, but luckily Dave balances out my over-emotional decisions. However, our compromise was that if we found a decent sized and calm Garter snake, we could keep it as a pet. So luckily Dave found one the other day doing yard work. We went to D.I., found an old fish tank, went to the pet store and purchased a screened lid and some frozen baby mice (eww) and went home and set the little guy up. Oh, and Cruise named him Pablo. Cruise loves him.
