The ants go marching 1 by 1........



Well, okay, I'll give it to you that they go marching 1 by 1, but they march by the hundrends at a time. I woke up this morning to ants in our master bathroom. They were everywhere. In the tub, on the wall, in the sinks, on the counter, by the shower,and up the cabinets....I mean everywhere. So I spent probably an hour killing and cleaning and trying to figure out where they were coming from. I thought I had done a pretty good job of it too. So by 10:00 I had figured I had desimated them enough that they weren't returning. Well the joke was on me. This afternoon I took the kidos swimming at our local pool. When I got back home I went to put my clothes back on that were laying on top of my bed. I started getting dressed and things started stinging me. Yep....ants. All over my clothes, my bed, up the wall, on my dresser, yes and even in my dresser....all three drawers. AUGHHHHH!!!!!!! I HATE ANTS. So my bedroom is completely torn aparts from end to end. I hope Robert and I can get all the little beast tonight and be able to sleep in our bed.....that is without being eaten alive tonight.

Added Post:
9:30 p.m. The little buggers are now in our closet as well. Just when we had the room put back together I went to move something in the laundry basket in the closet and guess what....MORE ANTS. Those little things are completely through the laundry basket and in every nook and corner of the closet. I don't believe it. There will be no peace tonight at our house. I'm afraid that they've crossed the battle lines. This means WAR!

Hey Good Lookin'





Well yesterday was finally the big day of the dance recital for Kayla. She has been so excited for it to arrive. She loves getting all fixed up in her outfit and dancing around in it. It is even more adorable in person. And lucky for us....now she has her Halloween Costume for this year. What a bonus.

The song they danced to was "Hey Good Lookin', What you got cookin'? Even though I've probably watched it at least a hundred times at practice, I never get tired of watching her perform. However, on the same note, I don't think I'm cut out to be one of those moms that have their daughter in dance all week for two or three hours a day. There were some in Kayla's group who spend every moment at dance and had multiple dances they were in, and multiple costumes. I can't get over the expense of it first off and then all the glitz and glam they do to the kids. I dropped Kayla off backstage and they put on lipstick and glitter all over her hair and face. She glistened everywhere she went for the rest of the day. That spray on sparkle stuff was everywhere. My brother just kept laughing at the fact that everwhere Kayla went a cloud of sparkle dust followed her. I think even after a good scrub job last night in the shower that there's still a little in her hair today.

Never the less, we are so proud of our little girl. You did a wonderful job Kayla and we all had so much fun watching you.
