Eeek! It's a Spider!
It's been the summer of spiders inside and outside our home. Little black weird ones in the house and this HUGE monster spider who happens to be living outside on our laundry room window. (Thank God.) He's been living there for weeks. It was hard to photograph the monster because his web is on the window. But I think I got a pretty good photo of him finally after about 30 shots. Haha. The kids and I tried to figure out what kind of spider it is by looking at spiders on the web (no pun intended). The closest picture we found was of a "house spider." How vague is that name? At least it's not a brown recluse! That was my main concern. The spider's body is about the size of a dime, a dime with really long, hairy, multi-colored legs. The spider is very gross and intriguing at the same time.
Anyone know what kind of spider this is? I'm letting him live for now. Jonathan had to show out neighbor Steve the spider. Steve then showed his wife, Lynn, who let out quite the squeal. Funny. The neighbor offered to "do away" with him for us. I said I wasn't ready for that yet. Why? I don't really know. He's just kind of interesting and like I said he's OUTSIDE.

EEEEEWWWWWW!!!! What IS it with SPIDERS?!!! They are everywhere!
Gross! I can't believe you had to look at it long enough to take the picture...is that what I have to look forward to having two boys? Bella spent the day today looking at worms. Not as scary.
