Meet our creepy crawlers.
First, our night crawlers. We had a big pool set up in the backyard and it was time to take it down. So at the beginning of Sept. we let all of the water out. At first it drained slowly, but then Brandon and I grabbed the sides and sloshed out all of the rest of the water at once. All of the sudden HUNDREDS of night crawlers came popping up out of the ground. The kids started collecting them while I ran into the house to get a container and my camera. It was pretty crazy. I'm not sure if there were hundreds, but there were certainly a lot of them.
Then there is the spider that lived out side of our living room window for the whole summer. You might wonder how we could possibly know that it was the same spider, well...
It was HUGE. Bigger than the tip of my finger, which I bravely put on the wood next to it so you can really appreciate it's size. We get these spiders around our house all of the time, but this one was certainly the biggest.
And last of all, the bugs that we actually invited into our home. Our stick bugs. We have 5 of them right now. They have gotten quiet big and we really enjoy them.
This one has nothing to do with bugs, I just love Anna in this one. She was outside with me as I took pictures of the spider and she collected a whole bunch of little seed pods from the tree behind her. She smushed them all up and was having tons of fun throwing them up into the air.

Pam,
What is going on with kirkwood Clan? Did you guys move? I knew you were selling your house. You didn't say if you had or hadn't. Brandon is going to school, righ?
