I'm winning the war!!

How many of you are waging a battle against these awful, pesky, creepy, disgusting little bugs? The FRUIT FLY is a constant pain in the neck for me. I don't like bugs in general. The world stops around me if a normal every day fly comes into my home, and doesn't resume normalcy until I have killed and disposed of it. But these little fruit flies are worse. Every time I come home from the store with fresh produce, they appear in droves and make my life crazy!

That is why I am happy to announce that I have found a very effective killing agent for these creepy critters. All you have to do is take a small dish (I've been using a custard dish) and put into that dish equal parts dish soap and cider vinegar. Mix it up good and leave it where the flies tend to annoy the most. I made this concoction yesterday morning. Today I came down to a dish filled with over 20 dead fruit flies. I am so happy that I am now going to be on the winning side of this war!

He Said What!!??

**We were all going to go swimming at my mom's house, so I told the boys to go get into their swimming suits. I looked downstairs a couple minutes later and Jackson was downstairs naked. I said, "Jackson! You are too big to be running around the house naked!" He called back, "I'm not running." I said, "Fine. You are too big to be walking around the house naked." He paused a minute and said, "What about skipping?"
**Jeramy asked Sawyer to bring my laptop upstairs to me, but to walk slowly and hold it with two hands. He started walking up the stairs then stopped and said, "But Dad, what if one of my parts starts itching."
**Jackson's primary class was having a lesson on different ethnicities (or something to that nature) and Jackson asked his teacher (who is Hawaiian), "Sister Anderson, are you brown or are you white?" She said, "I don't know, what do you think?" He said, "Well, your skin is brown, but you act white."
**Jackson told his primary teacher, "Hey, your stomach is getting big." She said, "I know, I'm going to have a baby." He said, "What are you, Mother Nature?"
***Jeramy was washing Sawyer's hair and Sawyer didn't like it, so he said, "Dad! You're hurting my bones."
***Sawyer asked me to write down the number "fittyitty" on a piece of paper for him. I didn't know what he ment so I said, "50?" No, so I said "15?" No, so I kept on asking until I was out of ideas. Then he said, "the one you can't count to." OH, "infinity?" "Yeah, Mom, that's what I said, 'fittyitty'>"
***I was driving and Sawyer said, "Mom, what does does it look like on the inside of a car and a train and a bus and a truck and an airplane and everything in the whole wide world?"
