Yes, we had a lovely Summer!
Been a long time since I posted here. The boys are now back at school. The post-labor day confusion set in today, since I dropped Jacob off at school and when he was in line I realized that he's only supposed to attend school Wed through Fri...NOT TODAY...luckily the teacher let him stay, so we avoided a freak out.

The house is smelling like apple cider vinegar, since I'm testing out a fruit fly trap. Cup with Vinegar, dishsoap and water, with bubbles at the top....So far I've drowned a bunch of the little suckers. The smell of the vinegar attracts them, then they get stuck in the bubbles and drown.

We have an infestation! Last night we were vacuuming them and that cut down on the numbers greatly. Today, nothing in the green recycle bucket, but lots of flies still hanging out. So I'm trying this soap trap...

We're trying everything we can to settle into a routine here at home. Phil and the kids are busy, busy, busy with all their classes, and I'm trying to sneak in some knitting and working out. Dinners must be cooked and ready to be heated up. So bedtime can be early. Still trying to get a handle on that....

Happy Autumn
