unholy scene

What you are about to see may cause you to shudder in disqust. But, I wanted everyone to see one of the downfalls to living in "paradise." Cockroaches! Really big cockroaches! Pictured below: Godless Goliath just chillin' by our beautiful festive innocent Christmas tree. We had just put Levi to bed and were sitting down to read. I happen to glance up at our tree...lovingly. And what do I see? This monstrous disqusting...dispicable...nuclear blast surviving...insect. So, I gasp, pull my feet up and say, "Nathan! look! You have to kill it! Hurry!!!!" Yep. So, he jumps up to go get murdering supplies, while I jump up to get....the camera. Look how long it's creepy little antenna are! That alone is worth screeching about.
And what should Nathan come back with? His dart gun...that my dad gave him. He's really been looking to kill something with that; borderline turning psycho and sitting on the side of the road looking for loners. So, here's his shinning moment. You can see that he first hit the target up in the corner in it's original spot. The dart penetrated the roach, but it still somehow got away. I was freaking out. He had to kill it! I couldn't just have it loose somewhere...at night...before bedtime! He pulled the tree skirt out, pulled the tree out, pulled the couch and carpet out. Then we found it hiding in the window. So, again, Nathan assumes blowgun position and has at it.

About a dozen times! He left it there to die while we finished up our evening activities. It's spindly little legs were still twitching when he finally disposed of the body, while I looked away. It was a sinister little devil trying to take up residence...by our Christmas Tree!

Because that was such a disturbing post, I'll end it with this cute picture of Levi taking a bath; or as he calls it "Swimming in the bath...please?"
