Well once again Cannon and I will be making that trip back up to Oklahoma. We have a lot of exciting things going on while we are there! We are having a combined birthday party for Cannon and Gage's 3rd birthday on Saturday. Then Saturday night I have to head to Pryor to celebrate my Papa's 70th birthday! Then on Sunday I will head back to Tulsa. I hope somewhere in that time Candice will have Cooper so that I will be able to be there for her like she was for me when Cannon was born. If she doesn't have him before Tuesday the doctor will induce her. So I will not come home until I see my new nephew! Well, he is not actually my nephew but Candice and I are as close as sisters so we just call our children each other's nephews! :) Once I make it home from Oklahoma I will then put Cannon's Texas party together because we will have everyone in town for that during Labor Day! And my Sunday School class decided to have a lake party that weekend so Saturday my day will be completely full!!! I am excited for everything though!
Lately we have been having an un-Godly amount of spiders around our house. I HATE SPIDERS! I have a major, MAJOR phobia of them. I find it hard to get in bed at night in fear that there is a spider waiting under the covers for me! So basically I am a big chicken when it comes to killing them. I don't want to get anywhere near them! Cannon has been catching on to the whole spiders thing and seeing them around the house and us killing them. Well the other day it was just Cannon and I, he came running in yelling "Fpider, Fpider Mommy!" Oh great I thought, I have to kill it. So I told him that I would take care of it, but he said "No Mommy! I do it!" and ran to the room. I started yelling "NNNNNOOOOOOOOOO! Get back, get away from the spider!" He told me he wanted to kill it! I told him that only mommy and daddy can do it right now because spiders like to bite! I find it so sad that my almost 3 year old son is braver than I am. Andrew told me the other day he had killed a spider and told Cannon to get him toilet paper to pick it up. Cannon ran and got the paper and then picked the spider up HIMSELF!!!! That is where I draw the line! I kill them and then leave them for Andrew to pick up when he gets home. I am so ashamed of myself!

Spiders suck! The only way I kill spiders is with bug spray. Can't wait to see you.
ReplyDeleteI hate spiders too and we have some HUGE ones in Florida. My girls are also much braver than me when it comes to bugs in general. I try not to let them see my fear, but that hasn't worked so well. They will pick them up when they are dead but scream when they see a big one on the wall.
