Buddy is the spider that has taken residence in the little space between the screen and window pane of our dining room window. It has been there for a couple of weeks now and the kids have adopted him/her as their new pet *yuck* We have to keep the blinds up every day so they can periodically check on Buddy and talk and "play" with him/her each day.
I'm not sure what kind of spider this is - I'm just glad it's OUTSIDE!
Feel free to be grossed out. I am! But I'm also trying to be a good homeschool mom about it all because....
It's been a good science lesson for the kids. Delaney tried to convince me to "catch" some flies so she could feed Buddy. I told her that Buddy would be better at catching food than I would :) I'm not sure how long Buddy is planning to stay in the window, but the kids have had a great time watching him/her every day. I can't complain really. This pet is much better than the Strawberry Root Weevils that Delaney used to have when we lived in Indiana!
