The culprit.....
The victim.....
The accusers....
While I was making Erin's birthday dinner, Erin said "Mom! There is a huge spider out side!" I went to look, and, I'll admit, at first glance it looked real. So I went to get my shoes on to take care of it, when the girls started to scream bloody murder! Sam is outside and really excited to have everyone near the door so he is jumping around the "spider" and the girls are worried he is going to get hurt. Very sweet, but VERY loud! Lauren was scared and started to cry, so I hurried outside and felt very sheepish when I got closer and noticed that it didn't move. I showed the girls that it wasn't real, but Erin ran into the laundry room and shut herself in! I swept the toy aside and went in to put my shoes away. Erin wouldn't let me in! She thought I was going to throw the spider at her! What kind of mother does she think I am? I should have! Erin wouldn't even get the toy spider for me to take a picture. I had to send Morgan out to get it for me! I'm going to hang onto it for future use...because that's the kind of mother I am!
