i like bees on my necklaces, not up my skirt

Welcome to the front of my house!

See all that nastiness on the front step?

Ryan, Evan {the brother} and I assaulted the step because

THERE WERE WASPS LIVING IN IT.

Um, no joke.

WASPS living in the step.

They would attack visitors as they would come to our front door, fly up my dress, and one even flew up my brother-in-law's pants and stung him.

Then finally I decided that I had had ENOUGH.

We hauled our buns to Home Depot to buy some killer wasp spray & caulk.

We made a plan.

10:00 at night, we would do it.

It's about to go down.

Evan sprayed inside the crack where the wasps would travel in and out, then we made haste to hurry up and caulk the holy tar out of it.

In the midst of smoothing and applying the caulk...

WE HEARD BUZZING.

Evan and I look at each other with jaws dropped. 

Screaming ensued and with reckless abandon we stuffed the caulk into the crack. 

Half screaming and half laughing I ask Evan "Do wasps sleep?!"

He yelled "BRI. WHO CARES?!" as we rush to finish the step.

Finally it was finished.

I was content. 

Then this....

See that hole there?

And that wasp smiling for my little picture?

THE WASPS HAD BURROWED THROUGH THE FREAKING CAULKING OVERNIGHT.

I pretty much had a hissy cow fit.

So, the other night Ryan sprayed and re-caulked the step.

No more wasps....for now. 

Moral of the story...

wasps are tenacious and are determined to attack you on our front step.

At least it will deter potential robbers, right?
