spiderwebs

As part of my cleaning binge, I vacuumed the ceilings of all their inhabitants, namely the spiders and their webs. I was getting sick of having to clean up the insect carcasses that lie underneath their webs!

So anyway, a week later and they are getting their revenge. Not only are they all back in their nooks and crannies of the house (probably just crawled out the vacuum cleaner) but they have multiplied! To top it all off the children have found the babies which means I can't get rid of them because now they are "our Pets". *sigh*

The babies look cuter in real life. The shadows cast by the flash of the camera make them look a little bigger than they really are.

So in honour of our "new pets" we made our own spider webs today. I love the way the shiny new conkers protrude from the centre.
