The Dare

OK, this might sound REALLY disgusting and it was, but it was really funny. I'm like a tom girl, somebody dares me to do something, I do it (to a point). The other day me and Shannen where in the kitchen and he was cutting up a orange. Playing with him I reached over and grabbed a piece, quick as a flash he knocked it out of my hand. But he didn't catch it ether, it fell into a bowl of tomato sauce sitting on the counter. Yuck! So I grabbed it out and was headed to the sink to wash it off when this interesting dare came up....

(Shannen)- Wait!
(Me)- What?
(Shannen)- I dare you to eat that!
(Me)- How much money would I get?
(Shannen)- $5.00
(Me)- Really?!?
(Shannen)- NO, not really!!!
(Me)- Then how much?
(Shannen)- $1.00
(Me)- Yeah right, if you think you can get me to eat a tomato sauce covered orange for only $1.00 then you don't know me!
(Shannen)- Fine, $1.15
(Me)- $4.89
(Shannen)- $1.30
(Me)- $4. 50
(Shannen)-$1.50
(Me)- $4.30
(Shannen)- $2.00
(Me)- $4.15
(Shannen)- $2.15
(Me)- $4.00
(Shannen)- $2.30
(Me)-$3.75
(Shannen)- $2.50
(Me)- $3.50
(Shannen)- $2.75
(Me)- $3.40
(Shannen)- $3.00
(Me)- $3.30
(Shannen)- $3.15
(Me)- You have a deal!


So if you can guess where this is headed then your right, I ate it. And it wasn't bad tasting, but wasn't good tasting ether. The thought of it was really gross, but I got $3.15 out f it and that was a plus!

SLEEPING AT JEFF'S HOUSE

On April the 16th Shayden and I sleep at Jeff's house. (Because Shyloh slept at our house because she was on bed rest). While we were at Jeff's house we played cards watched movies and played video games. That night Shayden stayed up until 3:00am and I stayed up until all night. That morning we went to the store and got pancake mix and eggs so I could make breakfast. (With coffee ) After we ate breakfast we made some tea and went out to do some yard work. We mowed, weeded and cleaned. And then went back in side and cleaned the kitchen washed dishes and watched Sponge Bob. After that we went to the park and played football. Then we went back home and rode Jeff's motor scooter (you have to say "motor" scooter or he'll correct you if you say electric scooter. ha ha) We had a BLAST!

Anacondas

Before I tell you about Anacondas I am going to answer some questions. Someone asked what type snake lives by the water and is black and yellow? The answer is a Garter snake and they do not bite or sting they are harmless. They also grow to be 5 feet. I live in the city but I visit my uncle and aunt and while I'm there I look for snakes and lizards. In the summer my uncle takes me and my brother snake hunting and on snake drives.

Now I will tell you about Anacondas.
The Anaconda is one of the largest snakes on earth. This Snake can grow up to be 20 feet long and wider than a mans arm. The anaconda is the one of the heaviest snakes in the world. This huge snake can weigh 500 lbs. Anacondas belong to a family snakes called Boas. Boas kill by constricting. They squeeze the animal until it quits breathing. Anacondas are the most amazing animals on earth.

Answers

Today I am going to answer some questions.

1. I have seen 5 rattle snakes.

2. The black and white snake in my king snake post is a king snake. There are Mountain king snakes, California king snakes, Mole king snakes, Scarlet king snakes, Florida king snakes, Western and Eastern king snakes and many other types. If you go to Wikipedia you can see many different types. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingsnake


3. All snakes can swim. They use the top of the water to help them swim by lifting about 1/2 of their body out of the water. Some snakes, such as Northern water snakes, redbelly watersnakes, brown water snakes, banded water snakes, and cottonmouth snakes are more likely to be seen in the water.

Sonora Whipsnake

I had a question to answer so I am going to answer it real quick. Someone asked me if garter snakes can be together? Yes they can.

Sonora Whip snakes are slender and fast like a whip. That's where it got its name from. An observer only gets a moment before the snake runs off. Because the snake is a good climber they often spend most of their time in trees or in a steam bed. They have large eyes and grayish faded olive bodies with lighter stripes on each side that fade toward the tail.

Coach whip

Coach whips go in trees too.

Prayer

Could you pray for our sister, Shyloh? She is sick. She's laying on the couch, barely able to move. She is staying at our house until she's better.
Thank you
