if you would have been looking in my windows from outside last night, you would have wondered what the heck was going on at the jboy house.
you would have seen me walking all over the kitchen counters, swinging my arms at the ceiling. you would have seen the husband standing on couches and chairs, leaping at the walls. you would have seen the little jboy running around with a blanket over his head, pointing all over the place. you would notice the big jboy in a dark room, reading with a flash light.
somehow the front door was left WIIIIIDEEE open for about an hour last night while we were outside. it was prime mosquito time. after 9 inches of rain the beasts are swarming and big enough to carry my children away.
we came into the house and they were gathered in large gangs around all the lights.
we spent the next hour in a head-to-head battle, and i am going to have to spend some more time cleaning little carcasses off my ceilings and walls.
bzzzzzz. smack. bzzzzz. smack.
ah, the sounds of summer. seriously, with all these stupid bugs around, i am almost missing winter.

The jboys need to build a bat house! We have bats in the neighborhood, and not too many mosquitoes.

yes. the mosquitos are a huge downfall. last night there was no wind and it was ridiculous. tonite there is no humidity and no breeze and it's not nearly as bad.
but i'm still not about to leave the door open.

At first I thought you had a BAT in your house! Although mosquitoes are just as bad...only smaller. Doesn't sound like a fun night! Darn bugs! They can ruin a perfectly beautiful night can't they?!
Hope you got them all and aren't scratching this morning!
