Fleas!

Yikes!  A couple of weeks ago, I noticed a couple little bugs around that hopped.  Next thing I knew, Roman had bug bites on his back and belly.  Captain had fleas!  It was terrible!  We were vacuuming everywhere and trying to get rid of them without all of the chemicals, but we would keep seeing one or two here and there.  Finally, I had enough and we had the bug guy come.  He sprayed the house that afternoon while we took Captain to the vet to get flea dipped and cleaned.  We took the kids to the zoo all day with the Monda's and then went to the Long's for dinner.  We headed home around 10pm that night with two very tired kids.  Sure enough, the house was still fuming with chemicals!  I knew we couldn't keep Carmen and Roman in those fumes!  We hurried and packed a bag while Matt called Corey and asked if we could come back over to their house.  We ended up spending the night in the Long's upstairs loft room.  It was adventurous to say the least. Thanks so much to them for letting us crash!  We all enjoyed a great big breakfast the next morning and had lots of fun!  I am so grateful that the fleas are officially gone.  It was terrible and we didn't even have that bad of an infestation!  I hope we never have to go through this process again!!
