Our Complex!

It's been rather cold this week. So cold that late Tuesday afternoon I was out shopping for duraflame logs. I know how the boys love a cozy fire in the fireplace. It appears that today will be a little warmer than it has been! My complex has been having major water issues. For the last 3 weeks they've been slowly working on the issue. They've taken up sidewalks and made large holes in numerous places. Yesterday the parking lot was flooded. That was odd! All water in our apartments had been shut off but yet the parking lot had no water shortage. The boys and I waded through ankle deep water. Simon loved it! He thought he was a duck! Cody didn't share in Simon's delight! I'll bet that water was sure cold for the boys to go through. The cold temps outside didn't help. Our complex put in some new plants that now line the walkway leading to our stairs. The boys are super fascinated with those new plants. It's very muddy from them just planting them so keeping the boys out of there isn't easy. They can hardly wait to have the opportunity to get up close and personal with those plants...if you know what I mean. Tinkle-tinkle! Last weekend our wasp problem reappeared. We had a wasp problem back in October and November. Our complex has a major wasp population. And a good number of them have taken up residency in my chimney. I love how when I get the flyswatter out to go after the wasps Simon stands back a reasonable distance and gives off a short bark every 10-15 seconds. I have no idea what he thinks he's accomplishing with the short barks or why he feels it's necessary. He can clearly see what's going on. If there's any noise from the flyswatter he can see me making that noise. Cody's more brave about it he stays close to me despite the fact that I'm viciously swinging a flyswatter so close to him. The best part is when I get the wasp dazed and he falls to the ground the look Cody gives that wasp is so hilarious to me. A look that says, "So you're the one causing all the problems...anybody ever tell you that you're ugly?" Gotta love Cody and all his many facial expressions! Well I'm sure that by the end of this coming weekend our wasp issue will be back hopefully I can get some logs before then. Smoking them out is the only thing that worked last time.
