giant roach

We have a cockroach problem!!!


There, I said it. My husband works for a pest control company and yet we have been overrun by Big, HUGE, roaches!!!!


And these are no ordinary roaches...these suckers are the biggest I have ever seen. They mostly hang out on the deck near the pool. I guess they are in search for water.


The other day, we were minding our own business about to go swimming when something caught my eye near the pool.






I looked up and saw......


(but first, let me throw in a cute picture of Lilah)





this GIANT cockroach!!!


Can you believe how big these guys are???






He got in the pool before I could catch him.




McGwire was able to swat him for me and here he is...dead as a doornail!






Why in heavens name would anyone make a roach pool float???



And before you can ask youself "who in the world would BUY a roach pool float" , let it be known that it was given to Tim from some guy at work.



Weird!

I wouldn't have even brought that thing home, Tim. The floatie people have but little to do. I wouldn't even be brave enough to bite a hole in that one like Lilah did her floatie. McG is a brave boy. Thanks for killing it, man.
