You'll all be relieved to know that we are 33% safer from spiders in the Nelson residence due to the fact that I, Cambrie, took moving tape to all of our screens. Yes, it may be a bit red-neck, but we have tape all around our poor-fitting screens so they are all taped to the windowsill so spiders cannot enter. At least I didn't use duct tape-- actually, I'm using duct tape as a remedy for the warts on my feet. Thought ya'll might like to know.

Sounds like a good start. Do you have sticky spider traps around? Down in Grandpa's apt. I've got about 6 hobo-spider traps...amazing....they work with any spiders and crawly things. I put them by the places bugs are most likely to crawl and they fill up pretty fast.

humm...maybe not the best way to convince our children that spiders don't necessarily own the basement, dear. Let us define "pretty fast". There has been a "new" spider glue trap by the door of the apartment for about 4 months, and it has maybe 5 spiders in it.

That doesn't sound red-neck to me. No measure is too drastic to protect oneself from spiders!

That's true Christa. In fact, the last time a stay-at-home mom got mauled by a spider was back in...uh?

Those poor Jehovah’s witnesses showed up at the door here again . They come here every few months or so. They rang the doorbell and my father-in-law (Craig) answered it. They asked if he'd like to talk about religion and he invited them in and said he'd love to. To make a long story short, he asked what makes the Jehovah's Whitnesses special and what was their "compelling doctrine". Their response was "well, we read the bible." Craig- "So do the Baptists, Catholics, and Mormons..... so what is special about your church" JW's- "we belive in Jesus Christ" Craig- "so do all of the Christians.... " JW's- "We preach the gospel" Craig- "Um... that still isn't original. Tell me why I should listen to you over anyone else" JW's- "Umm... I don't know..." Craig- "Well I'll tell you what the Mormon's compelling doctrine is that makes us different from everyone: We have ...

Deathly Hallows A box came in the mail on Saturday...it contained TWO copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows . One for me (happy birthday me from Chad) and one for Chad. I'm about 1/4 of the way through it. Do YOU have your copy?!? It's also officially my most hated time of year. Camping is over and it's HOT and even in the evenings it doesn't cool down much below 70 degrees. I can't wait for October, the best month of the year.

potty training done

Kiera is 100% in "tinkling" in her potty for 5 days now (except at night). I'd say potty training is done. I do have to say though that the transition from little potty to big potty was difficult (it didn’t help that Lydia was sick either). She would tinkle a tiny bit and then ask to go again 5-10 mins later all day long! Finally I was trying to make dinner and after being interrupted twice by her asking me to go (meanwhile my sick little Lydia cries hard when I leave the room with Kiera and if I bring her with she rolls around our nasty bathroom floor). So she came up and asked again “tinkles, mommy!” So I broke down and busted out the little potty and put her in front of the TV on it. I then picked up Lydia and nursed the poor little thing to sleep. Kiera tinkled quite and bit and was quite pleased with her self and pulled out the tray beneath the potty that holds the tinkles before I could stop her (I don’t run very fast when I’m holding a sleeping baby). Of cour...
