Spike

I really should be packing right now, but I will do ANYTHING to postpone what I dread most!!! ugh! And Brody and Avery are asleep.... oh well, blogging is way more fun! (really should be packing) ... Ok, so last Saturday JD comes home from work with a big smile on his face... "Hey Jace I brought you home a pet!" I am thinking "What?" He holds out his big red cooler and opens the lid. What the crap is that!!! He saw this tarantula by the side of the road as he was driving. So he hopped out and caught it. Surprisingly the kids loved it. JD put it in a tupperware and poked some holes in it. They decided to name him "Spike." I just told JD that if it got loose I was going to freak! He said we would only keep it for a week or so. Well, the next morning Jace and JD took it outside to find it some food and just decided to let it loose. Thank you, Thank you!!! Here it is just scurrying away. (Glad we are on the 2nd floor!)



So, I decided to have a little fun with my sister Leisha. She came in the kitchen Sunday morning for some breakfast and I asked her if she heard the commotion this morning. She said no, and I proceeded to tell her that Jace dropped the tupperware and the lid came off and Spike was on the loose!! She was buggin'!! It was so funny. I decided to try and keep this up for a while to see how far I could take it. She had a bunch of clothes on the floor and was convinced it was in her room. She would not go in there all day!! She was texting everyone telling them about the drama of the gigantic spider lost somewhere in our apartment. I felt kinda bad when some of her friends at church were coming up to me saying they had heard the news. Such a little white lie, right??! Anyway, she was supposed to be packing because she was going home to IF the next day but refused to go in her room! It was so funny watching her walk around with shoes on all day. Never letting her feet touch the floor when she was on the couch. And she even said to me " I feel like I am the only one who is afraid of this thing!" I had to laugh inside with that comment. Around 8:00 that night (yes I drug it out that long) I found this little rubber black spider and put it in her bed. We were in her room and Jace pulled back the sheets, I screamed and Leisha looked down at her bed and jumped about 20 feet with a look of terror!! I so wish I had captured her reaction on camera, it was priceless!! I know, I am such a mean sister. But hey that's what big sisters are for, right!! Miss ya Leish! ;)



Looks scary, doesn't it!!!

I still can't stop laughing at this!! I remember getting her text that morning, saying that there was a trantula on the loose in your apartment!! HA!! I still can't believe JD brought that sucker home!! I would have probably had a heart attack.....(Remember how bad I FREAKED out when I saw a cockroach! Just imagine what I would have been like if I had seen a trantula!) Yes, it was a bit mean, but freaking hilarious! Now go pack!

Oh my heck! I was laughing so hard about this! And what in the world was JD thinking when he decided it would be a good thing to bring home?!?! LOL, your family is so cute! I can't believe you have three kiddos!

YOU ARE A JERK! I would need therapy forever.

That is so funny! I can't believe you even let JD bring it into the house!!! I am so scared of spiders, I would have never let it come near me! You're a good sport.

Remember how Landon used to have a trantula? Yeah, and guess who had to share a room with Landon and his freaking pet spider?! I can't believe I let that thing crawl on my arms when I was little! I cry if I have to kill a daddy long leg now!
