Happy Halloween




Halloween started early this year! As I have exited our new apartment three out of five mornings, I am greeted by a new spider on our front step. Most of the time, not just one, usually 2 or 3. Not just any spider either, a BLACK WIDOW. YUCK!! Yes, we have sprayed multiple times. Yes, we are so nervous for Kate to be bitten. Yes, it is so gross.

In case that first picture wasn't enough for you, here's another perspective. I thought we should document at least some of our finds. Aren't they huge?

So the count is up to 12 black widows I have found outside our apartment. So now I always make Kate stay inside when I go out the first thing in the morning while I bend over to inspect carefully for any new bugs, always muttering "yuck, I hate bugs, this is sick." As expected, now every time Kate goes out the door she bends way over toward the ground and points while saying "buggy, yuck"

  1. I can just imagine Kate saying "buggy Yuck!" just like her Mommy! I sure hope they go away soon. I would be really nervous too.

  4. good job on displaying those piders lu! That's very impressive you got the guts up to do that. Just keep telling Kate "no, no, no" since that works very well ;)

  5. at least you don't have to buy the fake ones to put up outside your house for halloween! But how to get them to wear pilgrim hats in November, or a Santa Claus hat in December is the real dilemna! :o)

    I'm from California, where they live in abundance outside and inside your house. Last time we were there to visit we killed one in the bedroom. When I told my dad the next day, he accused me of killing one of the pets! Gotta love it! Good luck with that!

  7. Holy creepiness! I might have to seriously consider moving because I don't do spiders - at all. Your pictures even grossed Grace out. She's so my daughter. :)
