not this cute anymore!1) the boys got new Transformer toys. Since we didn't travel and didn't spend any money on ridiculously high gas prices, we thought we could splurge a little and buy each of the boys new Transformers. It was Christmas in May! The kids were totally occupied while we were house hunting and we were ALL happy.
2) Our ANTS arrived in the mail!!
Aaron's mom bought an ANT FARM for my kids for Christmas last year.. or the year before ? and we finally opened the box! The kit comes with everything you need except for the ants.. those have to be sent in the mail. About a month ago, we sent for ants but got a letter saying they probably couldn't come until after summer because it gets too hot for them. Surprise, surprise! They arrived yesterday and my kids are SO excited! I think it's cool, but I am still getting the heebie-jeebies every time I look at them closely because they are HUGE ants.. and they are in my house! Let's just pray that they stay contained!! They are busy digging tunnels and making their home nice and cozy. 
And we seriously don't need a TV around here anymore... my kids are fighting over who is closer to the ant farm.There is a video of the boys watching the ants on our HOME VIDEOS page.. but it's not all THAT.

I could NOT do the ant farm. You are such a good Mom! You think you found the house?? with a pool?? I can't wait to hear the details!
I seriously hate ants. They make me feel all itchy just looking at them. My good friend in high school gave me an ant farm for my 17th birthday. I never filled it up. I think I can say that is probably the strangest gift I've ever been given. :-) But I'm glad your boys like them!
I'm curious - how do they MAIL ants - what do they come in? And how many do you get? My boys would LOVE this too - but I don't know if I would.
The ants come in a small TUBE in the mail. Supposedly they are from the same ant family and work well together already. You refrigerate them for about 15 minutes (to make them less active) before you put them in the farm.. and as soon as they thaw out, they start working. It's pretty cool... and gross all at the same time.
That is cool. I've heard of people keeping refrigerated lady- bugs on hand. I guess they can last quite awhile chilled like that!
