An Apple a Day...

Had a very unpleasant surprise when I turned on the shower this morning. Fruit flies! Everywhere! UGGGGGHHHHH! And the blame rests on me and Skip.

Maddie loves to eat apples and has a habit of dropping the cores wherever she happens to be at the time she finishes them. We've both gotten on to her about it, and Skip really let her have it the other day when the two of them were picking up in her playroom and found some identifiable objects that seemed to be organic in nature.

Apparently she took it to heart because the source of the fruit flies were two apple cores in the bathroom garbage can. She did exactly what we asked her to do--throw the cores away when she's finished. The garbage can has a lid on it, so I didn't see or smell the remains. But that apparently doesn't stop the fruit flies. Ugggg. The ONE time she actually does what we ask her to do!
