When I came out of the house

Last night I was greeted by this stick about 8 foot long stick right by the front door. Now you might wonder why I would take a picture of a stick. Here's why.

The other night when I came out of the front door, I was startled by a small stick the kids had laid up on the window ledge. I told Jacob to throw it away because it looked like a snake and it might scare someone. It was replaced by this very large stick and when I asked who put the stick there, Jacob answered, "Do you mean the anaconda?" Notice it's even rearing its head.
