Did I say I love nature?

Okay, I totally love nature and I'm all for preserving life but this is ridiculous!!! Jon and I feel like we are living in the freakin' jungle out here. We have so many dang bugs in our house. The other day on my 19ft ceiling in the entrance about a billion baby spiders hatched...I could do absolutely nothing but watch them dissipate as they found comfy little homes all over my house, UGHHH (and no I couldn't reach them with the vacuum, on a ladder, on the table...there was no hope)! Next, I have found two flying beetles in my home...what the heck?! And don't even get me started on the moths...I have never seen so many stinkin' moths in my life; I used to like them. My cat even brings some extras in in case I'm feeling like I don't have enough already, how nice. Recently I found a slug on my kitchen table of all places!! How the heck a slug got into my house crawled up my son's high chair and across my entire table is beyond me (I know its route because of the lovely slim trail it left in its wake); marvelous!

For awhile we were feeling one with nature; we even had a pet man-eating spider for a couple of months but I'M DONE...I HATE NATURE!!! There I said it... So now we have a pet salamander (West Long-toed Salamander) Jon caught in our yard, weird...but at least he eats bugs right!?

Chris and Jerrae said...: welcome to my world! Our porch has this huge spider that is killing my plants...Well, I won't go out on the porch when the spider is present, so they're not getting water....Hang in there soon it will be too cold for them to survive.; September 23, 2007 at 1:29 PM

Funny Things my Kids Say

Eph: When we both grow up and live next to eachother maybe when your mother (wife) leaves and my mother (wife) leaves I can sneak up and go to your house and we can play. Clay: Adults don't play and it's not your mom it's your wife.
Mom: Ouch, my foot is really hurting! Kai: You're still alive Momma.
Kai and I were going back and forth with the,"I love you to the moon, I love you to the sun, etc." I said, "I love you to Venus" and Kai responded, "I love you to the penis"...LOL!
Clay: Ephraim, why do you always copy me? Ephraim: Because I love ya.
Kai was playing with his train the other day and I overheard him saying, "You can do it Thomas" and of course I was thinking Thomas the kid's engine, and then I heard him say, " You can do it, Thomas Monson"...LOL!
Kai always sleeps in my bed. One day I asked him why he didn't like his bed and he said,"It's too fluffy."
Whenever asked any question from "What is your name?" to "What do you want to do today?", Kai always responds with "Quesadilla".
Kai spent a couple months calling everyone "boob-butt" (boob was taken from the recent Horton Hears a Who movie).
When Kai wants to be picked up he says, "Grab me".
All my boys sing the song Paradise City by Guns N' Roses...embarassing.
When you ask Kai his name he says "Coc-head"- he means coconut head.
In between Conference sessions they played the movie "The Other side of Heaven" and during the scene where the rats are chewing on his feet Kai yells, "Wake up Dude!"
Ephraim says' That's ridiculous!"
When I ask Kai anything he shakes his head violently and says, "No-no!"
Clay told me that he was making funny faces in his class and that the girls were laughing. I asked him if the boys laughed too; he said, "no, they got mad". He told me he likes girls better then boys because they're "pretty". Oh boy!
Clay had some food stuck in his throat and I told him to drink some water to wash it down. He said, "I think I need to use a screw to get it out"- OUCH!
I told Clay that if he ate all his veggies he would be big and strong like his daddy. He said, " Well, that's not strong enough".
Clay turned to me after a meal and said, "Thanks for making dinner Mom". Then he turned to Jon and said, "Thanks, Dad". Jon responded a bit surprised, "What for, I didn't do anything?" Clay replied, "For working". WOW!
Josh came over and was checking out our pear tree in the front yard and Clay put his face up real close to him and said, "Jesus made the pears, Uncle Josh." Josh said he felt like he was in church! HA HA
Clay was being a stinker and I told him to "please be more obedient Clayton Ryan" and he responded, "I'm not Clayton I'm Nephi" and my mom told him that Nephi would be obedient to his parents. So, after some thought he replied, "Oh, I'm not Nephi".
When they don't like a food the boys say its too "spicy".
When something is too hard for the boys to do they say its too "heavy".
My boys both say, "I don't want that ever ever again, so there!"
Clay informed me the other day that he also liked Momma's milk (like baby Kai). I told him that he drank cow's milk like Mommy and Daddy and after a moments thought he said "No, I just drink seahorse milk!"
