Ants

Because of the rain we currently have ants bombarding our house like crazy. I guess they like it to be dry where they pillage. Mostly they are just annoying, traveling in little lines across the stove and counter tops to who knows where.

Bethany commented this morning on all the ants. Yohn jokingly told her we should dip them in chocolate and eat them and maybe that would get rid of them. She told him we'd just throw them in the trash because that would be gross.

As she walked away she said, "Did you know that ant blood is sour?"

"Uh, how do you know that?"

"I tasted them before."

Alrighty then.

Oh my! She is so funny!

I think ants are pretty fascinating but not in my house! Frustrating would be a better for that! :)

Oh NO! Just what a mom wants to hear. LOL!!! I wipe out their trail with vinegar, smushing as many as possible in the process. Also, salt is supposed to create a barrier. They don't like to walk on it. But I've watched them walk through it, between the grains like an obstacle course, so it has to be 'solid'.

Have a JESUS-filled day! ^i^
