So, you know when you see a really big spider and shivers go down your spine. Well, we had one of those living in our house.
I saw it in our kitchen window about a week ago, and due to it's fastness and the fact that I was tending Caleb, it got away. Well, actually it hid crouched in a nook looking at me --mocking my terror. Anyway, I left out some tissues and a stick I was going to try to use to kill it, but alas, it was gone when I got a chance.
So, for days (and nights) I
dreaded the possible re-match. Until today ... at lunch time right about when Aaron comes home (yes!). There he sat big, black and furry. Looking at me with his crouched, pouncing mocking face. -Once again, I was tending Caleb. So, I called Aaron ... who was late leaving work for lunch (oh no) and then accepted a call from my Sister in Law. :)
15 minutes later when Aaron got home the kitchen spider was no where to be found. :( -Aaron checked the window, blew in some cracks (he's so brave) and slid the window back and forth.
Just when I was lamenting another possible show down I spotted him. On the tip-tip-top of the cabinets, walking on the
ridge line was a big black
MnM sized kitchen spider. I kindly pointed him out to Aaron who had to get up on a chair and then the cupboard to kill the
villain.
-Even Aaron commented on his hugeness (validating my Ronald
Weasley like fears). And finally finishing the showdown the kitchen spider was vanquished for good. :)
At about 2 months Caleb really started to enjoy his Winnie the Pooh bouncy chair. He especially loves to try to touch the hanging tiger rattle. We took a picture of him in his bouncy chair when he was almost a week old and then one this past week at his 3 month mark. It's funny because you can see just how big he's gotten. He has almost doubled his birth weight and is very smart.
Pay It Forward. Isn't this a lovely picture of friendship. I found it on my friend's blog. The first three people who leave their comments about this porcine wonder will receive something hand-made and fabulous from me. You might even get to make a request if you'd like. Here's the catch though. Take this picture and put in up on YOUR blog and then come back and leave the comment to let me know you're in! I Love you all and am grateful for our friendships!!!
Hurry Home Daddy! We have a surprise for you and I helped Mom make them too. :) Secret Hint: Cutter :)
We got the opportunity to visit with Grandma and Grandpa Great this past weekend. It was very nice to see them and have Caleb get to know them better.
Yesterday was my Birthday! My husband got me these lovely flowers along with a swing for our backyard. (-I can't wait for spring time and flower gardening).
