What's Bugging You?

There are SO MANY WASPS this year! What on earth?

Parker - me, Logan and Tubby just went to pick the boys up from school - was telling me that by the monkey bars there were about 50 wasps swarming around! Blake told me that three kids in his class were stung by them just today!

I have heard that wasps are attracted to progesterone, not sure if that is true, and my father in law told me that the huge amounts of wasps are from all the rain we had this spring. I don;t care what is causing them, i just want them GONE.

Worst of all, Parker has a field trip to a very cool museum on the 18th of this month, but the demonstration is outside,m and they will be eating lunch outside as well! Wasps are particularly nasty when there is food around!

In my entire life I have never wished for rain on a planned field trip day - until now! I hope , hope, HOPE it rains. The museum is equipped to do the demonstration indoors, and they have room for the kids to eat lunch indoors as well. In doors - AWAY from the wasps!

I have been keeping Logan inside now for two weeks, the wasps are just too bad! He has been stung four times now, and he is terrified of all bugs, not just hte wasp, but for Parker and Blake they HAVE to be outdoors during recess and before and afterschool.

On the walkt o meet the boys after school today, Logan, Tubby and I stopped to look at a catterpillar and six wasps immediatly started buzing around us!

I'm really looking forward to the first cold snap - that will get rid of the wasps, but it usually doesn't last more than two days and we get a few more weeks of "somewhat good" weather!
