WTF?

So earlier tonight I went to pee in my bathroom, and was greeted by a big ugly hornet. I didn't see it until I had already sat down and let it all go, but let me tell you, as soon as my eye caught that sucker, the pee went straight back in out of sheer terror. For a few seconds I thought "I'll just finish up here and the let Kelvin kill it." Yeah, not so much. I decided to take my business elsewhere.

Then, not ten minutes later, Kelvin was out in the garage smoking a cigar and reading a book, when something caught his eye. He looked up and thought, at first, that a roach was dragging somehting across the garage floor. He turned to look, and saw that it wasn't a roach; it was another hornet. It gets better. The hornet was dragging a tarantula. That's right...I said a hornet was dragging a tarantula. Kelvin came and got me, and I went to see the tarantual (which the hornet finally gave up on). The damn thing was easily 4 inches across. If I had found it, I'd have totally flipped out. We are guessing that the hornet stung the tarantula and killed it, and was trying to go enjoy a feast (or put the damn thing on a stake and offer it up to the buzzing Gods).

What the hell is going on around here? Has my house turned into an episode of wild kingdom or something? I bet I have weird dreams tonight!

Oh, and in unrelated news, Emily had her first dance recital today. It was so adorable! The best part was when Emily decided that she needed to get around one of the curtains (when she wasn't performning) and she just walked onstage and went around it. The audiance was told before the show not to laugh at the cute antics of the kids, because it could hurt thier feelings. We were told "if you feel like laughing, clap instead." I think when Emily waltzed onstage, she got the biggest round of applause of the evening! I took a bunch of pics, which you can see on my FB page (if you have one...otherwise, you're a dork). Here's a pic. I'd upload more, but this one took about 10 minutes to upload, and I really can't be bothered to do more.
