Rotten eggs and Huge spiders.

Yesterday 2 things happened that,  much later,  when I thought of them, made me laugh.  :)

 

Number 1: The kids and I were cleaning the basement. A good thing. Rachel and Brooke moved the TV cabinet for me, and guess what we found underneath??  You will never in a million years guess so I will tell you!

 

We found a gallon Ziploc bag. Sealed. PRAISE THE LORD!! :)  Which contained a broken, rotten egg! Even sealed the smell was escaping.

Might I further add with these warm days we had been noticing a strange smell down there, but couldn't find it. Well, yesterday we did.

 

And them to top it all off, the young scientists who carried out this experiment....no one would say just who. Didn't want to touch it to throw it away! :)

 

 

Number 2:  Later on my younger kids (ages 9,7,5,4,and almost 2), came running to tell me the biggest spider,  ever in existence, was living in our basement!  Hurry!!  (That's just what I wanted to do was hurry to see this thing.)  :)

 

We all ran back downstairs and the kids quickly pointed it out to me and them stood back to see what super mom was going to do.  Hmmmmm..... this thing was at least 3 inches across. Not kidding. A wolf spider.  What if it jumped on me???

 

So I looked around really quick and found a Keepers at Home magazine. Folded it up, got as close as I could stand, closed my eyes, (really,I did :)), and hoped for the best! 

 

The spider is no more! Wooo Hooo! :) My kids were impressed.  And of course had to get a closer look.  :)

 

Doug assured me later that there are no other big spiders down there. That was the only one, because that spider ATE all the other spiders.  I don't believe him.  But nice try sweetie. :)

 

So there you have it an average day at the farm. Can you imagine what happened during the rest of the waking hours at our house?  It makes me smile just to think about it! 

 

Have an excellent day!
