The Ants Have Landed!

My ants for my ant farm finally arrived today and while I have been extremely impatient in waiting for them to get here I admit to a slight panic when they finally did. Even though my ant farm has been set up and waiting for them for a while now I just wasn’t too sure about the little creatures when I pulled those test tubes out of the envelope and eyed the redish insects. What if they escaped? What if they all bit me? Worse, what if I was allergic to them? I opened the text tubes and dumped my new little creatures in to the ant farm, fishing out the dead ones as I went. As soon as I realized that the little guys couldn’t climb out of their habitat I was a lot more at ease and my sudden thoughts of waking up being covered in ants faded. Now I’m sitting here working and watching the little guys climbing all over each other trying to get to the water dish and carrying grains of sugar sand back and forth to the individual tunnels. They are pretty fascinating, I just can’t wait for them to start building their tunnels!

Waiting For The Ants!

It feels like it has been forever since I ordered the ants for my ant farm but it’s only been a few days. My new ant farm sits on my desk waiting for its new inhabitants and yet after three days they’re still not here! It’s a bit like Christmas every time we go to the mailbox because I keep thinking that my little critters are going to be there but they’re not! Hopefully they will get in tomorrow before all this storm nonsense hits. I’m not sure that we’ll see much of that storm anyway but if we do I’d rather my precious little ants be inside their house rather then out in the mail system somewhere riding out a storm *insert comical mental picture of ants hanging on to their dried up worm food trying not to blow away.*

Christmas in August!

It has officially begun! Everyone who knows me knows how absolutely insane I get at Christmas time. I love to shop for Christmas goodies and picking out the perfect gift for everyone is something I’ve always had fun with. So far I have only picked up two gifts, the snow globe you see on the left is for Baby Bee, my best friend’s little girl, also referred to as my niece because I love her that much. She was showing me her snow globe collection with pride this weekend when I paid her a visit and being that I have a humongous Disney snow globe collection I asked her if she would like a big snow globe of her own like mine for Christmas. She didn’t skip a beat and told me that yes, she would like one so of course as soon as I got home I started shopping for a globe that suited her to a tee. I picked out this one featuring various Disney fairies, it lights up and plays the song “Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo”. The light is orange which I thought was weird but either way the globe is cute and I am sure she will like it. As for the second gift I picked up…well that’s for Buzz so I can’t let anything slip about that one just in case!
