I was just pulling weeds in the backyard and stumbled upon the weirdest spider ever!

In other news, Chris has banished one of the kids' friends from playing at our house because he was rude to me yesterday. He wasn't here when it happened, I just told him about it. I'm glad I have Chris to stand up for me when I'm such a push over at times. What happened is this: the kids had no school yesterday and this kid (not the stealer, another kid) wanted to spend the whole day at our house. I let him play for a while, but I had an art project planned to do with the kids (wax paper, fall leaves, crayon shavings....you know the one) and I asked him to leave. He always says "Why?" but not in a polite way. More in a whiny, defiant way. And this is his reply to me every.single.time. I ask him to do something. He was dragging his feet leaving, so I said "S., please leave now. It's time for you to go home" (you see, I am trying to be more assertive with these kids.) He said "I AM!" and kicked a toy on his way out of the room. I replied "Leave now, and do not come back again today." "I AM!!" he yells, as he sits on the floor trying to play legos with Zack some more. No, he wasn't leaving. He was delaying it as long as he could. So, in return for his rudeness, he won't play here for a week. He's already come over twice today trying to get in. The irony here is that my kids have never played at his house. He's basically not allowed to have friends over, yet his parents let him roam the whole neighborhood playing wherever. It's an awkward situation and I don't like being mixed up in it. Little kid drama! Who needs it.
