YIKES!

Okay, so I was bringing my groceries in from the garage at night. I turned on the light in the garage and noticed this HUGE spider that was coming into the garage. I honestly have never seen a spider that big in person before (not counting the zoo). The spider stopped for a while and I grabbed Abby and the last of the groceries and pulled the garage door down as fast as I could. I was just hoping that it couldn't squeeze under the door. Judy, my sister-in-law, came shortly after to drop Whit and Belle off and I told her about the spider. She called me a few minutes after she left and told me that as she was pulling out of the garage, the spider started chasing after her headlights. She stopped the car, pulled out some sort of spray from the back and killed him! Hurray!!! She totally saved me. I think I would have kept the girls and I in the house for days after because I would be afraid of seeing it...or it seeing me. The next morning I walked out to the driveway to see it....YUCK! It was even hairy. I hurried and took a picture of it next to a pencil to reveal its size (after being crumpled up from death) and I can't look at it anymore.

Wedding Weekend

My sister, Becky, joined the club of wedded bliss on Saturday. The wedding turned out nice. I was in the wedding because I was the Maid of Honor. Five minutes before the wedding was to start, Belle informed me that she needed to potty (this only happens when we're not at home...) and I decided to hurry and take her. I had forgotten that I had duct taped her diaper on earlier for her nap so she couldn't remove it. She went potty, but the diaper was ruined from the tape and I didn't bring another one with me to the restroom. I pulled the diaper up thinking that it would stay until I could get back to the cultural hall. I walked in and the whole group was waiting on me to start the wedding!! Not only that, but Belle had her diaper around her ankles. My sister-in-law, Mariann, saved me and took Belle to fix the situation. After the ceremony, I picked up Abby for a while and was putting her down when she spit-up all down my dress. By that time, I had to pose for some pictures. Then, Abby bombed me again when we had the family picture. Then, at the dinner, Belle dumped water all over my lap. I just had to laugh! I'm glad all that happened to me and not Becky. (The bottom picture is of Belle wearing my heals as we were cleaning up the gym).

"Memory Game"

So, I am participating in the "Memory Game." Here are the instructions:

1. Leave a comment about a memory that you have of me and/or my family
2. Post the same instructions on your blog and I can leave a memory about you.

Happy Birthday

I turned 31 on Thursday. Steve was able to come home that night from work and he and the girls left the house for a couple of hours to put together a little party for me. Whit was more excited about the party than anyone and was just beaming when she handed me my dozen red roses. They also bought me this cake and a beautiful silver box. For those of you that may have missed my special day, I still accept cash or check - HA!! Anyhow, it turned out to be a fun day and I am grateful to have a husband that makes sure that my day is well celebrated.
