There was the biggest spider at our house today. Mallori came up the stairs and saw it blocking her way. She thought it was going to jump on Copper to catch a ride. She screamed bloody murder and Kylee and I came running in. We fully expected to see blood and severed limbs. We were absolutly freaking out. We didn't know what to do because it was way too big to vacume up and there was no way any of us would have stepped on it. Finally Mallori called Adam to see if he had left for work yet. He had but turned around and saved us from the beast. I think we made him late for work but none of us cared. He saved our lives!! We may have damaged his hearing with the screaming while he wrangled it into a golf ball box. I made him pumpkin cookies. He said that was payment enough. Oh my gosh it was the biggest spider I have seen outside of a zoo. I have a picture but it doesn't do it justice and so I deleted it off my camera. I hope I can sleep tonight.

I am not jealous of you at that moment!!! I hate spiders too especially big ones because Scott doesn't want to squish them either!!! Glad it was at your house and not mine. Thanks now I won't sleep either 'cause I got the itches just thinking about it. :-)

You should have tried to tame it and take the show on the road. I am glad I am back in the blogging world and I am glad you are too! Miss you! Ky's hair looks cute. (the Ky with hair!)
