"come see this cool thing, mom!"

i was holding b.c. and cleaning up in the house when i heard ken open the garage door and yell, "come see this cool thing, mom!".

thinking it was another one of their little outdoor treasures that she would show me, i headed outside . . .

hmmmm. here's what she shows me lying on the driveway. not exactly what i was picturing . . .

when you see this one with ken's foot next to it so you can see how big the thing is. (she's 6. the centipede is big!) this was in our front yard. nice, huh?

the scary thing is, i was disgusted, but all 3 girls thought it was pretty cool! :)
