Oh you poor thing!! What a nightmare!! But...they are pretty cute!! I agree with the above ladies. If you can be cute in a shower cap then you are pretty dang cute!! Hope they go away soon! Hugs!

Just a hint because those buggers and eggs can live for up to two weeks after the fact. I would bag up all stuffed animals and unused cloth items in the rooms and remove them and keep them bagged for two weeks. My parents took in foster kids growing up and we had them once in a family of 10 and until we battled every room of the house they just kept reoccuring! we also threw away every comb, brush and anything used on the head. Its easier to buy new then to keep fighting..... Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but they don't die easy.... I also worked in a prison and they do jump from coats, jackets, clothes everything. Thats why parents freak so bad when they get the dreaded letter from school. I have used the treatment on my kids before as a preventative if I find out a kid in their class has it just because I know the head treatment usually will prevent the lice and nits for up to 2 weeks. Good luck ..... Hearts and Hugs Marie

Cute pics ... but oh so NOT fun. We've done the lice thing once, and I hope and pray that they don't come our way again.

That is the most fashionable I have ever seen a shower cap. It almost looks like lice is the 'in' thing! And that 7of8, she was born to be a shower cap model!

Further to Gina's vacuum comment way up the top... suck a cotton ball of tea-tree oil into the vac first so that it has a chance to kill some of the suckers before you empty the bag... it'll kill your dust mites too (though I'm sure a home such as yours would have no such thing ☺)

Wow, stunning--even in shower caps. lol. Never experienced the lice thing yet...but know from a close friend it is not a laughing matter--nightmarish huh?

You know you have great lookin' younguns when they still look cute in shower caps!

Oh, I feel your pain! We dealt with lice over the weekend, too. It was a nightmare. Worst of all? I think I gave it to Uma Thurman. Long story.

And your kids?? GORGEOUS.

Those are the cutest shower capped kids on the planet. You know that, don't you? Tell me what works the best just in case nits come home to my house......:)

2009-10-21T18:14:53.743-05:00

First your kids are beautiful and even with lice, they are stunning. I'd love to know how the lice treatment goes... not looking forward to when I have the majority of kids in school!

Cuties! Yes, I think #7 is gorgeous for sure! Of course,she reminds me A LOT of my #7. ;)
On another note, we had a prayer request here at the House of Prayer for a couple who's 8 months pregnant and just found out that the baby had a stroke in utero. That's all I know right now, but I thought you would be a great partner intercessor for this baby boy Jacob. Thank you!

2009-10-21T15:40:37.001-05:00

My kids will be SO happy to know that they are not the only ones who have had to walk around with plastic on their heads...but here, I am not as fashionable...they had to walk around with plastic Target bags fashioned into white do-rags on their heads. Hee hee

Best of luck on the deaths of parasites!!

I must say, they do make lice treatments cute!

I wouldn't skip the hair-dryer segment.

And the boys' hair has to be less than 1/4 inch.

Not that I know much about this, or anything.

Oh, and all the experts who claim that it doesn't travel easily from kid to kid? There is a special, lice-filled circle of hell just for them.

You had to use the lice shampoo and still cover them with plastic? Is it like an extra precaution?

I love that you will not only admit that your kids got lice, but that you own it. These pics are adorable, who knew Lice could be so cute? lol

Those pictures are just adorable!

It would be a good advertisement for the lice treatment, usually you think or see pictures of kids that look miserable because they have a little bug in their hairs but this almost make having the little bug problem fun!!!
