Vampires!

Blood thirsty vampires out there! The mosquito infestation seems to just be getting worse if that is possible! We cannot go out in the mornings until the sun hits the backyard and patio and even tho' I spray the kids constantly they seem to get bites. It is hot so they want to play in the water and then we spray some more. One child has a rash behind their knees and the spray stings so in the water with pants on! One had a bite inside her diaper....
Last night's new said the mosquito's are getting worse and the problems isn't going away any time soon.
Any ideas??? Summer is way too short as it is and the kids need to get outside, but this is just brutal.
Huge bowls of strawberries for breakfast this morning and my littlest actually ate some for the first time. Snack was milk and a graola bar. The children are all whiny today so an early nap for one and the other two loved their pasta/veggies Alfredo for lunch .... seems to be a favorite....and now a few minutes of peace and quiet... to catch my breath as it has been a very busy and active morning.
We aquired two tambourines for music so that should be fun this afternoon.
