E: “Daddy! My ants came today! 50 of them!”
D: “Um…aren’t we generally trying to keep ants OUT of the house?”

The Ant Hill was one of Em’s purchases with a birthday gift card. We anxiously awaited the arrival of the ants through the mail, and once they finally came, Em studied the instructions to make sure the ants got into the Hill with no incidents.

And we’ve just been waiting for them to get accustomed to their new surroundings.

They’ve provided hours of entertainment already…

…and have even inspired this week’s creative writing entry for Em’s homework.

Clearly it is the most exciting thing going on around this place.
