fruit fly trap

I don't know if it is this area or not, but there are a TON of fruit flys. I googled how to get rid of them with out bombing the house.

Turns out all you need is apple cider vinegar and dish soap (cut the surface tension)

Nate and I bet how many we would get the first night. I said 5 and he said 2 or something.
I counted...5! I win!

Then a few days later this is what it looked like. Gross, I know.

Just the Kids...plus Rick

Labor Day weekend was spent at the lake. Ahh, one last boat outing for us. Here are some pics to prove how much fun we are. No captions are necessary :)
{I'll spare you the pics of the speedo Nate made..ha}

 First two were from earlier in the day. When mom's were allowed ;) {jk!}

Pumpkin Carving

We had a few friends over for some Halloween fun! Taco soup, hot cider, Carmel popcorn, and wine ;)

Nate had a buddy wanting to help carve his "fire face" while I (of course) picked an intricate design! Next year I'm just doing a triangle face :)

Night exercise

My mom sends me "care packages" when she gets sweet state farm goodies. In one of my packages was 100ish mint chocolates and light collars for our doggies.

Here they are in action at 7:00pm. (it's not supposed to be dark yet!)
We let them run wild and the lights helped us keep an eye in them.
