My Pumpkins are being swarmed by these
stupid bugs. Aren't they nasty looking. I noticed
them about a week ago. These are the adults so
they have been there about 4 to 6 weeks, and we
found more eggs ready to hatch. They eat the leaves,
stem, and the pumpkin itself. We did spray them with
bug killer and got a lot of them but I don't think we
can get them all. I just hope I will have some
pumpkins left by October.

That is so gross! That makes me okay that our pumpkins didn't make it. YUCK!

I have been waiting to see pictures of little Trevin. Kelli said he was so little and cute. HE IS SO LITTLE. 5lbs. How much did he weigh when he was born? I am so glad everythign went okay, you always scare me when your having babies! He is so handsome.

That is pretty creepy . Did you do any research online? I called a professional company once and learned about Mud Dauber Wasps.
