Attack of the mosquitoes


So, I've been having a grand time with mosquitoes over the past few days. I had a solicitor come to my door a like 3 nights ago. I stood at the front door with the door open for like 10 minutes. He was trying to make me switch cable companies. All these mosquitoes kept landing on him. I was worried that some were going to come in my house so I tried to hurry him up. Sure enough, after I got him to leave, I sat on the couch and Bryson and I were immediately attacked. I killed two pretty quickly. I kept seeing another one but couldn't catch it to save my life. I spent like two hours diligently searching. I must have looked pretty silly. It got Bryson a few more times. When Pete got home he couldn't find it either. The rest of the night we kept itching our bodies. We felt like it was biting us all over. We didn't have any bites to show for it so I'm sure we were just paranoid. When it was time for bed I couldn't sleep. I just layed there for like 2 hours. I kept thinking it was biting me still. So, I kept slapping my face and stuff. It was ridiculous (I had a bad experience before with getting bitten by mosquitoes during the night...so, I was a really paranoid). The next day I kept seeing it fly in font of me but still couldn't catch it. It was SO frustrating! Around 11 Pm Pete and I walked into the kitchen and we saw it fly in front of us. I ran to the kitchen door and slammed it shut (remember my kitchen used to be a bedroom...so, it has a door). I told Pete we weren't leaving that room until that mosquito was dead! We weren't having much luck at first. We were in there for about 20 minutes when I suggested that Pete walk around the kitchen and wave a plate around to create wind so it couldn't land anywhere. And, I took my sandals off and said I'd whack it in mid air as it was having no choice but to fly. And, it worked, believe it or not. After doing this for like 2 minutes I caught him between my shoes. It was a happy moment! I could finally rest easy. I slept good that night. I swear I'm still seeing black things flying in front of me though. I even thought so at my moms house. She told me I was just loosing my mind. I very well could be. However......Pete did find and immediately kill(with his bare hand)another one in the bathroom this morning. Grrr.

    Hey, Jake had like 70 bites on his feet this morning(I have 4 or 5). He said it's like he's back in New Zealand(where he served the mish) I guess there's a problem w/ sqito's/ticks/fleas, all them biting things-gross! Anyway...As far as my background goes...I'm suprised I even figured out how to do it all. On my links there is one called "create your own template", It's some clever girl who's made a bunch of cute backgrounds and/or she gives you some pretty lengthy intructions on how to create your own. It took me hours-I tried to give up several times but I'd find myself saying "I'm smart, I WILL figure this out" Probubly a waste of my time..but I still feel a bit proud of myself-I'm a dork:)

    I to have a problem with mosquitos. Whenever we have irrigation we get a ton. My kids always have bites running up and down their legs. I feel so bad so they aren't allowed to play outside until all the water is dried up for a couple of days.

Bryson's Store

Image
We didn't have Family Home Evening last night, so we had it tonight. We made a little store for Bryson to sell candy from {it was his idea this morning}. He was in HEAVEN! Dad brought boxes home from work, bought candy on the way home, then came home and we all made it together. The huggies box is his cash register. And, we used fake money from one of our board games. We'd give Bryson the fake money and then he'd give us some candy. It was SO funny. He kept saying, "This is a fun activity!" {He picked this saying up from grandpa!} Here's the front of his store. Here's the back view of his store. Here's daddy buying his candy. When Bryson thought we had boughten enough candy, he told me to take his spot so he could buy some candy. He's not stupid! Here's a video clip of one of daddy's transactions with Bryson. It's so funny....you have to watch it!

Break Dancer

We went to a wedding on Thursday night. It was a Argentine wedding so they had a ton of music and dancing. Bryson was in heaven. We couldn't get him off the dance floor! I recorded this video off of my phone so the quality isn't very good {because of the low lighing in the place}. But, hopefully, you'll still get the idea. Everyone was break dancing inside a circle. I could tell Bryson wanted to go out on the floor so bad. So, I told him to go do it. And he did. That part is at the very beginning of the video. Then, he went out and danced with everyone else. He had some good moves. I couldn't get too much on video because people kept walking in front of me. But, this should be enough to make you laugh .

Bryson's Girlfriend

Image
Bryson has a little girlfriend at church. They are so cute together {they even look alike}. They stick up for each other in nursery. If a child picks up a toy that Bryson had been playing with, she takes it away from them and tells them it's Bryson's. She is also his first kiss. You go boy!Her dad told us that last sunday she was excited to go to church. She said, "I get to see Bryson today. He's so hansome!" This morning Bryson told me that he loved her, and that they were going to get married in the temple, and give kisses and love. Too cute. We always have to let them play together after church is over because we can't seperate them. So, us parents just stand there and laugh at them. Yesterday they had a fun during their "play time". The were splashing each other with water from the drinking fountain. It was pretty funny. We hope they'll really get married. We'll have to keep in touch with her parents. Ha ha.
