On the Farm

Gigi and Pop gave 'The Boy' his first Ant Farm for Christmas.  It was a complete and utter surprise to all of us.  I wish you could have seen how wide my eyes were when I saw it being unwrapped. 

 

But, 'The Boy' was really excited about it.  So, I suppressed my desire to throw it away unopened and invited our little guests into our home. 

 I definitely get mom-of-the-year for this one!

And I am happy to report that we did not have a single escapee.  Thank goodness!

They didn't stay with us for very long.  They made a few tunnels and slowly died off.  'The Boy' was pretty bummed when the last one went to ant heaven.  Pop said he would buy some more.  Yikes!  Maybe 'The Boy' will forget about them.  A girl can hope, right?
