Proud Mama

My children know well just how much I dislike flies. I have obsessively trained the little ones to enter and leave quickly and make sure the door is closed. Once a fly is in the house, it pretty much drives me crazy. My kids think I'm the best fly hunter ever, but I think Bekah's got me beat. She noticed a fly buzzing around along the floor, picked up one of my shoes (ew gross! next time grab Daddy's) and smashed that fly! She was so proud. And so am I. Another fly hunter is just what we need in this house. ;)

I hate flies too. We went for a walk up in the canyons tonight and my mouth was open and . . . oooooo yuck a bug went in my mouth. I don't think that I have ever spit like that before.

That's great. Send her to my house!

What is with all of the flies lately? At our house we are not only fly hunters, we also hunt down mosquitos!

That was my favorite past time too. Go out to the back porch with a flyswatter and swat the hundreds of flies out there. So fun.

Go Bekah! I hate killing bugs and my kids think it is so hilarious when I kill them because I HAVE to scream each time I do it. Gross! I say the more bug killers the merrier!

You have described me to a "T"

I am known as "THE BUG HUNTER" in the Powell household.

(yes, I actually hunt them down until they are dead!)

I blame my next door neigbor's three dogs messes in the backyard right next to mine for the increase of flies. They clean it up every Friday.

(Three dogs times 6 days equal disgusting smells and messes equals a ton of crazy flies who I swear try to find their way into my house)


GAG, gag,
