It was just an ordinary day. We were doing what we normally do. You know, things such as rearranging cards and envelopes...

sleeping...

making crazy faces at mom... 

staring at precious baby toes...

...and then it happened. Out of the corner of her eye, Mommy spotted the most evil abomination crawling across the balcony where Olivia was playing. It was a cockroach. Two inches long. Pure nastiness. Mom screamed. Olivia screamed. Annika screamed. And the door to the balcony was slammed shut. About 15 minutes later, and several phone calls to Daddy, all the women in the house calmed down. 

Olivia decided to document the occasion with pictures of the big "spider." That's what she called it. It went "creepy, creepy," she said. And then when Daddy came home, she asked him to put it in a bag and dump it down the trash shoot. 

Smart girl!

"See Mom, it was a big spider."
