There is a first time for everything!!

Well it was bound to happen soon or later, and I guess I have been pretty lucky so far...but it happened last night!!! I ran over my first animal! :( We were on our way home from taking one of our youth home...it was dark...they live out in the country...I had my brights on...I didn't see it!!! Another car was coming...turned off my brights...and out of nowhere this....dark fuzzy thing darted out from the bushes...and....bam!!!....right smack dab in front of my car!! I was very proud of myself...I didn't panic and swerve out of its way...I just gasped and killed it!!!!!! Trey looked at me and was smiling asking me if I was okay...yes I am okay....what was that??? He said a raccoon. I thought for sure it was a cat! We are a crazy family....we turned around to go check it out!!!!!! Yes you read that right!!! The kids were so excited. They wanted Trey to get out, pick it up, take it home, skin it, and make a coon hat out of it!!! We are so redneck!!!! I kept saying NO, NO NO. They were arguing with me...even Trey was! I am I the only one in this family that has any sense about me??? What is wrong with my husband and kids??? I felt the Beverly Hill Billies...you know Granny, scooping up road kill for road kill stew!!!! WHAT?? No way!!!!! We turned around, and sure enough it was a raccoon!! Big one too! Trey said it was healthy! The kids were all hanging out of the windows, hooping and hollering!!! We turned back around and headed home. And for probably a mile or so they were still arguing with me to turn back around and get it....Help!, my family has gone nuts :}










Oh, I will be posting the Date Night and Rudy's party stuff soon...I just want to share how crazy my family is first!!!!!!
