We have been having the huge black ants that are seeking new colonies in our bathroom lately. Why our bathroom we aren't sure, but that's where they are coming from. They love our tub and the walls of the house. Anytime we put A on the toilet (since she is at about 80% proficient at saying she has to go before she wets her diaper/training pants) she seems to find a handful. We will see none, but she pops up with, "Uh-Oh" which means she spots one moving somewhere. She will also find them and squash them, take them to Chris, and hand them to him so that he can throw them down the toilet or in the trash. She will tell him which one it needs to be. We've discovered that caffeine and ants don't mix well. We also know that squashing them is supposed to leave a pheromone that indicates "don't come this way" to following ants. However, the best way is to vacuum the ants up, as apparently the whole "missing pheromone" indicates more trouble than a dead ant.
This past week was pretty good. Chris got back into the swing of school. His labs went well and he managed to get some stuff done on the equipment at church. I got a lot of stuff done, moved offices (if you can call my new place an office, let's suffice it to say it feels enough like a demotion that I should be looking for a different job), reviewed a few dozen documents for chemistry, had a few meetings, so a basic week.
A had a very exciting week at daycare. She managed to only wet her diaper once, that is including naps and playing outside. Since the weather the beginning of last week was gorgeous they played outside a lot. She apparently likes to climb and will occasionally get "stuck" about a foot off of the ground. She climbs much higher than that here at home and can get down with no problems, so I think she is playing the teacher.
March Madness has brought a lot of excitement here. Both Chris and I are in work brackets, so we'll see who wins. I wasn't doing so badly as of Friday, but that was before Georgetown and Gonzaga lost. I was seriously thinking about going upset crazy, but thought better of it. Who knew that it would be the order of the dance this year? I think both Chris and I are good Big 12 fans and have KU winning it all. A isn't sure what's going on since we are watching basketball over letting her watch Veggietales. She falls asleep to the basketball, but not really to the VeggieTales. She really really likes VeggieTales, so she will sit and hum the theme song for us as we watch our basketball. Since we really only turn the TV on for sports or weather updates I suppose she'll just have to learn. :) I hope your brackets are going well.
