Creeped Out to Chilled Out all in a day...

So my day started w/ Jack running me around our neighborhood- and when I say running me...I mean RUNNING me as fast as he could run.

When I was good and tired I came home to my favorite time of my day...the morning cup of coffee...as I was about to pour the cup I saw this little flash of what I thought was a spider leg under my coffee pot. I screamed for MD- he came. "A spider! Ewwww!!!! Kill it!!!! Now!!!!!" So he lifts the coffee pot to find a 3 1/2" scorpion. "NOOOOOO!!!!!" "KILL IT!!!!" So MD "Jack Baured" that sucker in a minute flat. But my nightmare was just beginning- I could not, would not stay with something like that there....

MD had to go- and left us (can you believe it?) so I packed the kids up and left- headed to Grandma's house. After taking refuge there for a couple hours we spent another hour at the Train Park...What an Indredible place for families to enjoy eachother. We went with Perfect 7's- It was an absolutely PERFECT weather day!

From there MD and his dad and the kids and I went to Fountain Hills to the Fountain to enjoy some quality time and some more gorgeous AZ weather. We ate pizza out on the patio overlookig the lake, played in the park, ate ice cream. All in all it was a perfect afternoon.

Now I'm back at home looking under every thing, looking over my shoulder, scouring every room for scorpions...scary.
