Dang bug!On Sunday we went over to Michel’s brother’s house for a barbecue. We don’t get out enough and Mikey is always welcome there so it was nice to get out. Mikey played with his cousins and we got to have some adult conversation and I got to watch some of the Giant game. (Go Giants! 3-0!!!)

But for some reason there was an attack of mosquitoes just as we got there. I hate mosquitoes. They leave me itchy for days with big welts. Beth is the same way. And for some reason I decided to wear shorts on Sunday. I never wear shorts. It ended up that I couldn’t stay outside it was so bad. For some reason the mosquitoes loved my blood. Mikey wanted to stay outside so Michel stayed outside with him. When I went outside later, Mikey had two mosquitoes sitting on his forehead. And Monday was picture day at school so of course he has two perfect mosquito bites right above the bridge of his nose.

The amazing thing is we live only 20 minutes away and we never have any mosquitoes. I had survived the whole summer without a single bite. But it was worth the bites to go to the barbecue.
