365 pictures: Day One
Posted by Mary Diamond on 06/23/2009
Okay, I’ve done pretty well so far with the posting regularly. Let’s see if we can do this 365 days of pictures thing. I’ll post one a day for 365 days. Of course, I’ll be away from the computer from July 22 – 26 because I’m finally getting a camping trip, YAY!
Still, though… I’ll post one for every day I was gone. Here’s a picture of Bastian on our last camping trip, after the mosquitoes mistook his face for a smorgasbord of blood. 
I made the mistake of just opening up the van and letting him play while I put up the tent. This year, he will be bathed in Geraniol before he sets foot out into the battlefield. Once I used it on myself and the kids I noticed the bugs were a helluva lot less attracted to us, plus it has no deet. It’s a combination of geranium and something else… anyway, I have to get back to cleaning the pantry/linen closet/our bedroom/the kitchen…

Poor lil’ guy…. A Bounce dryer sheet hung through his belt-loop will keep the bugs away also….if yu’re just sitting around during the evening hours, pour a tablespoon of Lemon scented dishwashing liquid in a white plate with alittle water….they will fly to it instead of you guys.
