Our Day and Mosquito Question

I've got the boys doing the Saxon Math Placement tests today.  Its not necessarily that I'm going to put them back into Saxon, I'm just using it to see (right now anyway) how they are coming along.  Its hard to tell if they are learning what they should with the Rod and Staff and if I have them in the right books or not. 

I guess Bethany's doing alright.  We haven't heard from her since Saturday.  They were hoping to have the tent up and running by last night and she'll be mostly restocking.  I sure hope she stays busy.  It seems its when there's nothing to do that they get homesick.

Does anyone know how to get rid of mosquitoes?  We have a TON even in the house and car (don't understand that one) and of course outside.  The city has a truck that kinda sprays near here, but not close enough to actually do anything.  Charlie wants me to call the city and see if there is something more they can do.  I've got bites all over me and just know that if one of us gets sick, it will be me.  Better me than the kids, right?!  It would be sad to make it through Panama without getting dengue fever only to end up getting something right here in the USofA.
