Goodness that's alot of Ladybugs!!!

So our house has become a haven for none other than LADYBUGS. These cute little beetles are ALL over our house. They especially like my office because of the sunlight that it gets. Apparently, they are hibernating! Unbelieveable...they are everywhere...but then again, they are just ladybugs!! However, now they fly around the lights and it was kind of creepy to see how many of them where actually in the house.

Chris looked up how to get rid of them and the site said not to scare them because they will leave little yellow spots on the wall...the yellow is BLOOD that they emit when they are scared and it has an odor to ward of preditors...ew! SOoooo...now we are left with the choice to either leave them alone, or get a shop vaccum and put them back outside...but wouldnt they just come back??

On the flip side, old wives tales tell that Ladybugs are a sign of good luck and fertility! Oddly enough we didnt have ANY ladybugs last year, so maybe this is a good sign...who knows...I will take whatever help we can get!

Lady bugs are the symbol for family, too. I think this might be an awesome sign!

Be careful though, those puppies bite!
