well it's officially winter becuase I'm eating soup for breakfast
How is everyone today! hopefully you all had a good nights sleep last night.
THE ANTS!!!! - well DH went off to bunnings early on saturday morning to find the best ant killing stuff for our needs (ie. masses of ants with a nest under house and having a baby and two dogs that we don't want to poison)
So he bought these ant trap thingos and nailed up on the side of the house where the ants have their trail back to the nest.
He nailed them up so they woudln't move and to make it harder for the dogs to get into should they get past the fence we've put up to stop them going down that side of the house.
Also - Matt got the traps (like roach hotel sort of thing) because there were the only one that didn't have serious warning labels on them He was telling me about how the sprays had warnings about how contact with the skin could cause fascial numbness and allergic reactions etc.... we did a bit ofresearch later and basically their neuro-toxins...work just as good on people as bugs!
so we went with the ant traps with have boric acid in them (which is nasty but naturally occuring) and then the stupid ants take it back to the nest and kill the queen!
there are still some ants around... but no where near as many as last week.
I think they're coming inside to the bathroom looking for water. this draught is messing with the ants too!
in baby news - we went to the museum yesterday with my mother's group! it was a lovely afternoon! I think we mum's had more fun than the babies because they all went to sleep.
is anyone else's little one drinking from a cup? becuase Luxxe never took a bottle, I've had to try various warious ways to give her milk.... non of which really worked and I was wasting milk, so starting trying with boiled water.
She LOVES water! and will drink out of my glass all the time. I've tried the sippy cup again this morning, so she can drink on her own (she can hold the glass glass, but I always hang on at the bottom just in case)
I think she liked it... I htink she's worked out how to suck on the sippy part now... she couldn't do it before...and she was giggling and chatting away to the cup! very cute!
Her eczema is practically ALL GONE!!! just a few scabs from where she scratched it ans made it bleed. all the dryness is gone!!
I'm amazed!! i've not put any creams or anything on it...just that 1 ml of water with stuff in last friday!
I'm so converted!!!
well Missy is tired as and we're off to have a nap. I think we might nap in the lounge this morning coz I want to watch a movie.
