I will not hear any Hoora, Hoora's today please!!! I was not a happy camper to find them marching out of my laundry room into my kitchen and office this morning. I have been made fun of by some for my need to have a clean or sometimes semi clean house. Go ahead and make fun. I DON'T like bugs and I DON'T want any reason for them to come calling for a visit. No home is ever completely bug free and I get that, but I will do all I can to make sure they are not welcome here. Everyone else stop by any time, you are all welcome :) It was a great lesson for my kids though. I do have the ants to thank for that. Lightning keeps complaining and asking why food has to stay at the table, and why I do not let him store or eat food or candy in his bedroom.Why when I offer a treat like a Popsicle or otter pop I say, "At the table or outside please?" Why I walk the baby's back to the table with any food or drink excluding a sippy, and remind them that all food and drinks stay in the kitchen and at the table. Yesterday the otter pops were eaten sitting as close the carpet in the family room as they could possibly get and dripped all over the floor. I had a meeting last night at the church and I did not get it cleaned up. Guess what the ants were nibbling at ........ Perfect example!!! Lightning asks me all the time why I have to vacuum so much, can't I just let it go? Well, I let the cracker crumbs and otter pop mess go and we have visitors today. Who's to say why they chose today, but it was very timely and now that they are all gone, I am grateful for the lesson taught.

Ugh! I hate ants in the house!
I'm so sorry:( Have you sprayed the outside yet?
We had our share of this lesson this year! I hope the ants get the hint and stay away! Kirt went and got granuals and spray for the outside of our house and so far so good.
Hey....at least they weren't roaches!
Lessons learnt here as well!
I hate all bugs, if you are outside, you are fine, if you are inside, you will die!
Not you, the bugs.. tee hee
We had ants last year, and it was the grossest thing! Including in the girls bedroom under the bed....wouldn't you know, a certain child was sneaking and leaving food under her bed?! We had the exterminator come three times to make sure they were gone!
