Early morning fun... not for the faint of heart
So this morning before the sun was up, Scott and I were sitting in the living room. I was feeding Aubrey and Scott had the Word in his lap, when all of a sudden Scott made a series of very fast movements. I was quite startled, since I am used to watching him struggle with a very stiff back in the mornings. He informed me that a very large cockroach was among us. I took Aubrey in the other room so he could hunt and destroy it without disturbing her. 3 muffled smacks later, it was dead. It had gone from the floor by his toes to being on the couch in the time it took me to get into the other room! I was very glad Aubrey and I had removed ourselves from the couch! Anyways, due to the "springy"ness of our couch, the little guy got smacked 3 times. When Scott smacked it, it appeared to jump around, so he smacked again. Once Scott disposed of the body, he went back to his seat, only to discover the poor fellow's head was on the ground with antenna still wiggling! I guess 3 smacks was more than enough. Gross, I know. All that to say, the whole family is thinking about sleeping with Aubrey under her mosquito net tonight! Nah, we actually don't mind a few bugs, but Scott IS out buying roach hotels as we speak. :)
