Funny Animals More Afraid of Spiders than You Are

The first week of April is "Be Kind to Spiders Week" so one of the Friday Frivolity crew thought it would be a fun idea to have a spider theme. We could do spider crafts, spider books, or share information about how spiders are really helpful creatures to our world.

I was not that host...

I jest. I actually don't have a problem with spiders for the most part, as long as they stay outside and eat the plant destroying ants we can happily co-exist.

My friend, Mary, is another story. Read her hysterical encounter with a spider that inspired the creation of what may very well be the ugliest cake in the history of ugly cakes (made by yours truly). It may look scary, but it more than made up for it in taste. G et the recipe here, but you can just make a regular looking cake if you want. ;).

U-G-L-Y I ain't got no alibi! But I am delicious!
