Michael's Alter Ego

You can take the boy out of Texas...but you can't take Texas out of the boy.

Michael recently acquired a BB gun from my Grandpa to "address" our rodent problem. Our backyard has been invaded by moles and a small family of field mice. After multiple environmentally and Roxy-friendly remedies failed, Michael decided stop being "Mr. Nice Guy" and step up his plan of attack.

That said, he couldn't just go out and scare off a few pests. Oh, no. Instead he had to fully disassemble and clean the BB gun, then set up a series of targets for ample practice before any pest management could begin. It's now been three days and has a single pellet been shot at a rodent? No, but his aim at the targets is getting better.

Unfortunately, I didn't get pictures of his beginning targets but I have captured the latest one for your enjoyment. Each one gets more elaborate and he scoots further back to hone his new skill.

I have to say, I never anticipated I would ever be posting about a gun on a pregnancy blog, but such is life. Hope you enjoy the sharp-shooter slide show.

Carefully preparing his pellet ammo.

Such great form

I have no more words...
