He's Baaa-aaack!

Well, tonight after dinner, Bryan went outside to do something, and guess who had returned to pay our little family another visit.  Yes, the spider from hell.  I call him the "crap your pants spider."  I saw him with my own eyes and then needed to change my pants.  Holy mama, that thing was huge, hairy, and beyond CREEPY!!  This time I was not about to let Bryan just shoo him outside.  I offered to sacrifice one of my flip flops to the cause, but really--can you imagine the splat of spider goo that we would have had to clean up afterwards?  So, instead Bryan decided that a good long shot of brake cleaner would do the trick.  So, after drenching the poor fella, we took some more photos.

Tess's "show-n-tell" theme for the month of October is "something I found outside."  Oh, yeah, she's taking that sucker to school on Wednesday.



Sweet dreams everyone!

YUCK!! Did you kill it yet?? I swear that has to be the biggest spider I have seen outside of a ZOO!! I think you should totally put it in a jar with an alcohol swab and then keep it for your kids for their bug collection later on. :)

That is disgusting! I don't dare tell Travis about that guy. He really won't sleep tonight. I am sure Tess's class will love it!
