spring showers

It's finally sprinkler time in Houston! If you can't tell, Tyler's using the hose sprayer to fill up Scott's bucket. We love springtime!

i did promise you pictures!

Ok, so these aren't the best pictures to show you our newly painted rooms. I did take some pics with my camera phone, but since I haven't bought a memory card for it yet I can't transfer it to my computer easily. Hopefully I'll get a hold of Tim's laptop soon and can transfer them that way.

Anyway, last week I bought a new tent--we're going camping for Tyler's 6th bday in a couple weeks, and a 3-man tent just won't cut it anymore. Tyler decided it'd be more fun to go camping instead of having a party with his friends (which makes it a lot easier on me!). Anyway, we thought we'd set it up to see how we liked it. We didn't realize just how big it was! We let Tyler and Claire sleep in there for a couple nights before taking it down. It's such a cool tent (Coleman Tucana from Target)! It has a hinge door so it's easy to get in and out, plus it has two hanging room dividers to make three separate areas. We're so excited to go camping!

snake!

We heard a strange noise coming from our air conditioner--
this is what Tim found! Any guesses on what kind of snake this is?
