The Ants Go Marching.....



It started with seeing these poking around the kitchen:

Then we caught one of these:

Then as Jeremy was playing with Kate he discovered one of these latched onto her head hiding in her hair:
Don't get me wrong, bugs have their place in the world. I don't think it's wise to be afraid of things not even 1/1000 of your size, but these creatures have been coming into our house in full since the warm weather and there's only so much ant-smashing I'm willing to do in the kitchen. We are declaring war on the creepy crawlies in the house - I called the pest control and they'll be here tomorrow morning. Not a bad deal either - they guarantee against mice, rats, wasps, bees, spiders, millipedes (threatening, I know), ants, basically anything but termites. That's extra. Good thing we have a stone foundation. So I hope all the little things pack their bags if they want to keep living, otherwise they will be making a trip to bug heaven soon.

Ew. That is definitely DISGUSTING. And not like you need something else to worry about besides your family :) Thank goodness for pest control!

That is one battle I am glad you are letting someone else fight! Was that a tick Jeremy found in Kate's hair?
