Bree did a really brave thing this morning. i wont get into the gory details, but she caught one of these from our daughter's room this morning with the vacuum:

(I linked it because i want her to see this, but she doesnt need to see the spider pic...)
It was apparently the size of a silver dollar (she said the body itself was a good 3/4 inch). Now, Bree is EXTREMELY arachnophobic. little tiny spiders scare her. She was petrified by this thing, and I couldnt help because i was 5 minutes from work, which meant i was 85 minutes form home.
But she fought through the fear and got that sucker, and now it is in the vacuum on the back deck, waiting for me to empty it. :)
