I am pleased to announce.......

the spider is DEAD!! For the past few weeks there has been a spider that weaves a web nightly in the top corner outside our sliding glass door (it is a very good spot you know right by the light and it always has bugs stuck in it no doubt he is a VERY smart spider). The problem is EVERYDAY I get up and let the dogs outside and I stick just my head out the door (you know enough to feel the temp of the air). And EVERYDAY my forehead hits the spider web. Gross I know and what a way to greet the day. Well then I have to get my broom and destroy the web for the day and it is ALWAYS there the next morning. Well the other day Wyatt and I had been talking about it and since then I have started ducking to keep from getting attacked from the web. Of coarse I had to laugh when he walked through it because you know he is taller and it got him in the face. I started being a little more watchful because it dawned on me that I have never seen the spider. Well 2 days ago I found him and I was unsuccessful in ending his life. But yesterday the girls and I went on the deck to play bubbles and I saw him sleeping all wrapped up in his little webbed bed. I sprung into action...." Julia back up Mommy has to kill this spider!" I grab my broom and knock down the little bed he had made and then I stomped him dead and brushed him off the deck. This morning I am please to report there was no web.


Julia has done some great artwork at school and I wanted to share.
