No Trespassing!!!!!!

Although the pictures tell the complete story, I will give a little preface.
It was a beautiful Friday night. A storm was brewing. Because the wind and clouds brought the temperature down to a bareable degree, we decided to get yardwork done. We cleaned out the garden full of "cooked" veggies, mowed, edged, cleaned off the patio and picked weeds. The backyard was looking gorgeous! I took the kids inside to get them bathed and into bed. Suddenly Jake runs inside, yells. "girls, I found something really cool", grabs a plastic container (this is when I got scared) and runs back outside. This isn't a good view of the "creature", but Hallies face cracks me up! Yes, Ashlinn is fearless.
Please note the size of bug vs. my fingers holding the container. EWWWWW!
I have no idea what it is...it looked like a roach, but it coulf fly...like a nightmare...right?

Now, if you were a man and in possession of a mini blow torch...What would you do?


I hope all of his bug friends also got the message....NO BUGS ALLOWED!



We are safe again!!!!!!! "Dad is our hero!" (yes, everything needs to be related to a fairytale)

First off- So glad that you are posting more!!! It makes me feel better since I've been a posting guru this week! Second off- EWWW! I love bugs, as you know, and completely agree with Hallies face (hilarious btw!) So I wonder what it was.... cuz some roaches do fly. I learned that in Hawaii. I would google it, but I don't want to see images. Shudder

I am glad that Jared isn't the only grown man who still likes to play with fire.

Good thing Daddy was around to save the day! I'm sorry I am not brave enough to do the no sugar/flour challenge with you, but I'll think kindly of you while you do it. Love all the new posts!
