A Boy, A Hole, and A Mole

Today I spent most of the afternoon in Norfolk. Ma was having her heart catheterization. So Dean was in charge of getting the kids after school today. Of course when they got home they ended up outside. You've got to love this awesome fall weather we are having. He had some interesting pictures to share with me when I got home. Mr.Braeden was out and about in the yard. Something popped up at his feet. In his words, "I thought it was a toad!" So he tried to catch it. Well he grabbed it by the tail and it was not a toad. It was a MOLE! He said, "It took me one whole minute to pull that thing up!" He was carrying around a live mole. I just started laughing. That's Braeden for you. And actually he is the second one of my kids to do this. Madison picked one up when she was about 2 or 3 but it was dead. She called it a baby elephant. Well today all the kids were interested in this mole. Dean grabbed the camera and tried to take some pictures. He said it was wiggling around so much that the camera couldn't focus on it. Then they put it in a little box for a bit. Braeden is so funny. He is always coming up with something interesting, whether it's a wild story from his imagination, a spider, or a Live Mole!
