Now for something completely different

I know my blog has gotten (and will continue to be) pretty baby-centered. For those who are bored of it, here's something completely different.
Kenny, being the great guy he is, used some of his time off to weed the front yard. When he moved the utility box cover, this is what he saw:

Some of you may note the toad. Others may see the spider. Let's look a bit closer:

The toad is cool. The spider... is some unholy child of ungoliant and scared the crap out me. And I'm not even afraid of spiders. One more closer look:

When Kenny sprayed the thing with bug spray what we thought was the abdomen broke off and dispersed 100s of directions... what looked like a large abdomen is actually hundreds of baby spiders (all now dead).
Tell me that that thing doesn't give you the heebie-jeebies.
And if that freaked you out too much and you need cheering up, here, have a random youtube video of the most amazing dog ever (I HIGHLY recommend watching the whole thing):

wow, you have a glow bug, and then I chuckled at the baby face. But that spider got my attention. Hope you sprayed bug killer all around the base of the house! now the dog video wins, that was amazing!!
