Now that the weather has gotten nicer (60+ degrees!!) we have had lots of unwelcome guests in our house. This particular visitor was found in my kitchen. I had to restrain myself from screaming because I don't want to pass on my fear of creepy crawly things to the boys. Naturally, Georgie wanted to keep the bug. "Lets put it in a jail," he said. This involved me scooping the nasty thing up on a sheet of paper and into a tupperware container (which will never, ever, be used for food again).
Mothers of boys will appreciate how having boys changes you. Five years ago I would have screamed and whacked the bug to death with a broom. I love that these little guys have made me tougher.
**By the way, when Georgie forgot about his little pet, I opened up the tupperware container and whacked it to death with a shoe. I just tolerate the bugs now - I don't have to like them.

Ick. Ick. Ick. I hate centipedes. Absolutely hate them. From May-November I have a guy spray the outside of our house or we are sure to get them in our basement. And they freak me out!
