All but three of ours are in school and one of those three attends Sunday school and has play dates with a family that has older children, so it's good info to have on hand just in case. I love how you are using that spare room. I am using my guest room closet. In an ideal home I'd have more room for stockpiling but this is our home and we're using it as we need to, just as you are doing. terricheneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06865436021565986224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290836394516314441.post-8043081058083525182017-07-29T06:02:04.467-05:002017-07-29T06:02:04.467-05:00You've done so well this month!

I have gotten some good deals lately at CVS.<br /><br />I think when their trash bags are on sale for $6.99, the 80 count easy flaps are a good buy. Especially if there is a coupon available to go with it.

An idea...how about using packets of powdered Kool-Aid to color the dough and add a little scent? I used to do that with the Playdough. So sorry you guys had lice to deal with. That's one thing that my kids never had.<br /><br />You sure are talented with your sewing. I'm sure your granddaughter will love her new dress. And an hour on the treadmill most every morning? Wow!

You can get yourself a black light flash light to check for them. You need to get in a very dark room, bathroom without a window, and they will glow if you have any. You can also wash your hair in peppermint castile soap, dries them out and repels, then finish with a diluted apple cider rinse. Everything in your home can also be washed with the castile. When night hits and it's dark inside your home use that flash light, you'll be amazed at what you might find. The light isn't expensive, also great for bed bugs, mice detection, spiders........Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08355041556837307478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290836394516314441.post-37502764168966847942017-07-27T19:22:56.847-05:002017-07-27T19:22:56.847-05:00If the grand's didn't catch lice in school...If the grand's didn't catch lice in school have any of them gone to the movies or a sleep over?

You know, I have no idea how I have managed to dodge the little beasts my whole life. Never got them in school or still haven't as an adult. They seem much more common now, but I understand they're a breeze compared to bed bugs. Several of my friends have had their kids/grands come home from camp or the dorms bringing some leetle friends...yuk!<br /><br />I love the clothes you made!

You got some great deals. I remember dealing with head lice when the girls were little. I don't ever think I will forget. They got it from a girl in the Sunday School class. I thought I was going to have to cut their long hair but we finally got rid of it. I think the treatments are working as well as they use to. I'm glad you got a hold of it.

I saw lots of cases of lice during my years of teaching. Luckily I escaped having lice. One year during when softball seasoned started several 3rd grade girls got lice from sharing batting helments. I know it's a pain, cleaning bedding, pillows and putting stuffed toys in a bag for several days.<br />Hope the lice stay away from you kiddos for good.<br />Smiles,<br />Carol Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16807721575596262434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290836394516314441.post-29653206299859628192017-07-26T21:46:58.988-05:002017-07-26T21:46:58.988-05:00TFS the moon dough recipe.

I was at the beauty shop tonight for a color (got a perm--will do color next week now) and another lady was in there talking about lice. My hair dresser said she was somewhere and they were saying that tea tree shampoo is suppose to help keep lice at bay that they don't like the smell of it. happeningswithLanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11467937856900406297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290836394516314441.post-73755502285721335272017-07-26T21:04:11.448-05:002017-07-26T21:04:11.448-05:00Busy Summer for sure.

As for head lice, my children had them twice and neither time was fun...much work involved. We survived, but it was the pitts. Once we had just relocated to another state and once again I was in the unpacking mode. Had to put all the stuffed toys in trash bags to kill the critters' eggs. Special shampoo was the trick. My daughter's hair was very long at the time so tugging at the eggs took some time. Lots of extra work.

Megan and two other girls were sent home. It was a real pain! Thankfully it was caught early for Megan and she went back to school the next day. The two other girls were sent home multiple times after that and one girl missed three weeks of school getting rid of it. Yuck, yuck, yuck! <br /><br />That was a good deal on the laundry detergent and fabric softner. It hasn't been a very frugal summer around here. I'm hope that will change in next couple of weeks.
