To all you ladies in the adoption community that go nuts over ladybug sightings....check this out!
One little,
Two little,
SIX little ladybugs!
Every year about this time, we are overrun with ladybugs in one particular upstairs bedroom. I assume they get in though our less-than-air-tight, twenty something year old windows! Why this room, I have no idea. I don't really believe in the luck they are supposed to bestow on adopting families either. I saw tons of ladybugs during our two year wait and they never accompanied any particularly good news on our adoption front. However, I do find it a bit odd that the only room in our house where these fanciful creatures congregate is Claire's room.......hmmm.

eeeewwwww! ladybugs! we just got rid of them at our house too!
Apparently they are asian beetles. Our government shipped them here several years ago for the farmers to release in their soy bean fields. All summer long they eat the aphids that would otherwise destroy our nation's soybean crops. Of course, once the farmers have harvested their fields the bugs need to find new digs for the winter. They tend to hang out on the warmest side of the house, and if they can get in all the better! Oh, and they have a peculiar smell that normal ladybugs don't.
Our house in Illinois would be covered with them on those warm Indian summer days in October! Ugh!
Caulk, caulk, caulk!! And caulk some more. And then vacuum the little suckers up.
