This morning Emma Claire woke up early so I called my friend Hayley to see what they were up to, and we decided to meet up at the battlefields and let our early wakers burn off some energy. I just have to add that this morning Emma Claire wore her first ever "real" ponytail aka a pony on the back of her head. It was pretty stinkin' precious, if I do say so myself.
Before heading to meet up with Hayley and the boys we had to stop by our neighbors yard and say hi to our resident baby bunny. He was born a few weeks ago and comes out of his nest each morning. Emma Claire is just beside herself with excitement whenever we catch him out in the grass.
Right before loading up the car I ran inside to grab my diaper bag and saw THIS coming out of our entry closet. To say that I am terrified of spiders would be an understatement. And this sucker was big. Small body, big legs. No thank you. After freaking out for a while I did finally put on my big girl panties and kill it. Then we went on our way. And yes, I did feel creepy crawly ALL. DAY. LONG.
I did manage to get over myself and enjoy our time at the battlefields.
These three are a hoot.
After playing with the boys we ran to goodwill and then headed home to eat lunch. I just love her sweet little smile.
And tonight while in the bath I found a little visitor on Emma Claire's head. Her first ever tick. Because I wasn't buggy enough after my giant spider encounter. Thankfully I had the hubs home so he was able to help with the removal. He held her body/head down while I removed. No fun. Thankfully my neighbor came over and brought Emma Claire some fruit loops {yes at bedtime} and that made it all better. It's the little things. ;-) And yes, we kept the tick. The husband wants to keep it in our deep freezer in case we need it for identification purposes later down the road. I couldn't argue with being prepared. Good thinking, daddy.
So here's to tomorrow. May it be less buggy.

That spider is definitely among the ranks of scary Australia spiders! Eeek!
YUCK!!! I hate spiders AND ticks!!! We haven't had a tick yet but I'm sure we will this summer. Ugh. Hope today is a no-bug kind of day! ;)
Yikes, I hate spiders. My daughter actually found two in her room the other day. Seems like there are more spiders now than there used to be.
Glad the kids had a good day! Looks like a blast. I bet they were tired after all that playing.
We live out in the sticks so ticks is a normal thing here. My mom did get lyme disease from one though a couple years back!
I have never seen a tick. Why did you need to save it? We live out in the country but there just aren't many ticks around here.
I saw a spider like that the other day at my house, and I left it for 10 seconds to get a paper towel to kill it with and it was gone! Friggen awesome! I think it went behind the fridge. grrr
GACK! You saved it?? I wouldn't ever be able to eat out of the freezer again knowing it was there. Spider bad, tick much worse in my book! I can feel my skin crawling on your behalf. :)
