Spiders and mosquitoes

The first day that we arrived, we placed our luggage in a closet. Miss M jumped back and said that she saw a spider. I looked and looked and did not find anything and told her to quit joking about those kind of things. (She is quite a jokester) Spiders were the last thing I wanted to worry about as the mosquitoes were plenty bothersome. That night, I went in the room to grab a diaper and right there on the closet was the biggest spider ever. She really had seen one. I bent over to get my shoe off to kill it and when I stood back up, it was gone. Oh My! I did not ever tell Miss M that I had saw it, instead I spent most of the nights praying that it did not crawl on my face or the kids. I never saw it again. Thank God!
What I did see plenty of were mosquitoes. It is absolutely incredible how such a small little thing can cause so much grief. They love all of us except Senora A and Baby R. The poor girls scratch the bites until they bleed. We have tried so many different types of sprays and creams. We have yet to find anything that keeps them away, instead we have only found a great cream for the aftermath.
