Attack of the Giant Spider! Eek!

This photo was taken after it was killed and I'm not going anywhere near that thing, so Isaac can clean it up when he gets home! (shiver)

I HATE spiders! I'm sure you can imagine the adrenaline rush when I saw this bad boy! I had just finished giving Jared a baby food feeding and was carrying him into the living room when I spotted the nasty creature. I swear that thing was the size of one of those fake spider rings at Halloween, which also freak me out by the way! haha! I quickly laid Jared down in a different room, ran and grabbed a shoe and the bug spray and rushed back to find the spider darting under the carpet! Eew! Luckily, he came back out and I sprayed that thing until it was barely able to move, then I smashed it with the shoe to make sure it wasn't going anywhere and then I sprayed it some more! Just another tidbit of information, as if all this doesn't make your skin crawl enough, I'm pretty sure this is the same spider that I thought was dead in the closet several months ago but had disappeared by the time I came back to kill it.. I hate when I find things like this. It makes me wonder what else is lurking in the corners and I don't want to think about that! I am rather proud of myself, though! Super Mom to the rescue! haha! Now I can't wait until Jared is old enough to want to kill them for me! haha!

Belated Superbowl Post

We had a Superbowl party at our house this year with several of our friends in the area. It was really fun because we had the guys that wanted to exclusively watch the game in the theater upstairs and the girls downstairs playing games and talking with the game on in the background. It was a full house with about 14 people and 4 little ones! We overplanned a bit with the cookout and had enough leftovers to eat lunches all week! Crazy! :)

I think Jared enjoyed his first Superbowl! My mom got a Colts outfit from a friend and it was just the right size for him! Too bad they didn't win.. I thought this picture was funny because it looks like Jared is disappointed that the Colts lost! haha!

This picture is blurry because Jared can't stay upright on his own for very long yet and falls forward every time. Apparently, his head is too big in proportion to his body, so he's going to have to work a little harder to stay upright! haha! He does take after his daddy! :)
