Home Journal - Fruit Flies

I know this is not very exciting and I should be journaling about something, you know, important, and all. But can I just tell you that we have fruit flies in our kitchen and it is driving the whole family crazy. We have cleaned out every source of food that we can think of. We have started taking all rags out of the sink after each meal and throwing them in the washing machine. We've cleaned out drawers and cabinets. And yet, they persist. It's a little discouraging actually. E, Z and Betty were on fruit fly patrol today and it was quite hilarious. They would spot those little pests and then one would sneak up behind it to end it's life and then rejoice when they were successful. Yes, it's the little things that make it all worthwhile really. The kids feel like they have a purpose in this life...Anyway, we will be victorious!

  1. Us too! A calls them tiny beetles! :) I read that they multiply fast and their life span is one month. Lovely little creatures :/
