scary, creepy, crawly things that make you go "eeek!"

This weekend Curtis and I worked in our jungle of a backyard.  I don't know how it happened, but our backyard literally turned into a jungle this summer.  I closed my eyes for one second and a million weeds took over the garden....however, it may be possible that I never even stepped foot in the garden the entire summer.  Anyway, our garden was consumed with weeds and became the perfect breeding ground for the millions of grasshoppers that have taken shelter there.

Unfortunately, grasshoppers weren't the only creepy things to invade our property.

we also found the world's largest spider...in our own backyard jungle.

It was disgusting.

It was eating a ginormous grasshopper.

It was awful.

And gross.

And I hated so much that is was in my yard.

As the spider started moving and chomping on it's dinner, Curtis told me to film it.

Me, being the nice sweet wife that I am, took out the camera and bravely stepped close to the spider to begin filming.

Not one second later, Curtis ran his fingers up my back scaring the living daylights out of me.

After freaking out and dropping the camera, I regained my composure to continue filming.  Just then, a giant grasshopper sprang past me, again, scaring the crap out of me.

Lucky for you, it's all on film.

Enjoy.

I begged Curtis to kill the spider. 

He wouldn't do it. 

I didn't dare. 

So...it's still taking up residency in the backyard.

It's disturbing, really.
