Mikhaila's reptile fund raiser birthday party

[drache]

hi everyone
proud survivor here and very tired
Mikhaila had a birthday party that started yesterday at 3:00pm and ended this morning at 10:30am. Not all the kids stayed for the sleep-over - just ten. Whatever possessed me to agree to this . . .
Mikhaila let everyone know on the invitations, not to get any gifts; that there would be a donations box toward her next reptile purchase
she did well, and some of it will be donated to the rescue
all the children got to handle reptiles and they got better at it over time
these are going to be my assistants at science day next week
some of the animals I had stashed in safe, hidden quiet places; some I took out of circulation a lot; a couple just came out in small groups when most kids were off someplace else; and my "veteran" snakes were out a lot.
there was also a herp sculpting event - here some of my faves:









I'm kind of fading now
will catch up here later
feels like i've been gone a week
