Yesterday Anthony came home from camp EXHAUSTED! We had lunch and I tucked him in for a nap.... He snuggled into his covers and I could tell I was destined for a major nap!!!
Just as I get to the first landing, I hear:
"Shoo fly! Stop buzzing Anthony!"
I continued down the stairs and I hear a whole one sided conversation my son is having with a fly!
"Shoo fly! Go buzz in some elses room! Shoo!! Stop buzzing me!!! Go away FLY!!! Moooooommmmmmmmy!!!! HELP!!!!"
I head back upstairs and ask where the fly is so that I can swat the thing and nap time can begin!!!
"I no know mommy!! It fly away I dink!"
I stand there a few minutes and NOTHING! Not a buzz or a fly by. NADA! I assure my semi-panicked son that it is GONE! I re tuck him in and head BACK downstairs...
45 seconds later the theatrics begin!!!
Anthony starts SCREAMING "Help me! Help me! MOOOOOMMMY Its a GIANT buzzing!!!!" Heeeelllllp!!!!"
Back up stairs I head armed with a dog eared copy of the latest PB catalog...

I see it! The pesky fly is trapped between Ant's blinds and window. Slowly and quietly I open the blinds and ..........
WHACK!
I nailed the sucker!!! I scoop his remains up and dispose of him. Re tuck my star struck son (he so called me his hero!) and head back downstairs!
Two minutes later he starts screaming again! There was another fly! Seriously we need to re discuss how to close doors BEHIND us in this house!!!!
I go up with a vengeance! Swatting the damn thing like CRAZY.... Sadly this little guy was fast and I kept missing him!!! That's when it came to me....
Just let Anthony sleep in my bed! So I did and the problem was diverted... for now!

That is too cute! Just found your blog. Your kids are adorable!
Glad you found an easy solution :) I hate flies!
We've had tons of flies inside our house too. Cute story!
So cute. I love hearing kids talk to bugs. It is the cutest ever :)
How irritating that the pesky fly was sabatoging your free time! I loved that Anthony called you his hero...that feels great, doesn't it? And all it takes is killing a fly or two lol.
