Eh, Monday.

When Sam went to work this morning, a large garden spider blew in the front door. Mandy hates spiders, so I had to take care of this large intruder so it would not bother her. However, Mandy saw me giving the spider a piece of my mind, and took matters into her own hands. Since the spider was already injured, she grabbed baby vacuum and sucked up the spider. I was glad that I didn’t have to finish off the spider, but did Mandy really have to grab the mini villain? I'm sure there are other ways Mandy could have taken care of the intruder.

This weekend was hot. HOT! Mandy and Sam splashed around in the big tub and made a huge mess outside. They did something they've never done before—they climbed out of the big tub, only to run and jump back in seconds later. They splashed water everywhere! Peyton and I were so tired of water flying everywhere, we cried and cried. Mandy just ignored us, so Peyton opened the door and let us in the house without their help.

Last night, Sam forced Peyton and me outside to play. It was hot out there, but I decided if I was going to be forced outside against my will, I would stay out there until Mandy or Sam invited me. Peyton went in and out several times, while I stayed outside and refused their offer to come inside. Eventually Mandy came outside and brought me back in the house. I appreciated her personal invitation to come back in, and I expressed my gratitude to her.

Well, I am going to go sit in the window. It is still shady so I want to enjoy it before the sun comes in and it heats up the window.
