Brunch:

I feel like I have accomplished so much today. I woke up, got ready, fed the kids and made brunch for about 1,000. They all really enjoyed it.
Damn ants! Every year they sneak into my house and remind me how bad I need to sweep the floor. Jerks. Christian loves to fill clarks food bowl, and he heaps it up so high that it normally takes Clark about a week to finish all of it. Well, Jason bought the dog food with all of the different little shapes, and Clarkie likes certain ones more that others, so he digs through this huge bowl of food and spills it EVERYWHERE. I went to start a load of laundry this morning and noticed that I had a few hundred little visitors swarmed all around the dog food. I had quite a fun time vacuuming the little bastards up. It reminds me of when I was a little girl and we would get swarms of flying ants in the back yard. They would be so thick that it looked like black carpet all over the patio. It was like a jail sentence for two weeks because they would bite and we didn't want to get near them.
So, if anyone wants to come over and have the leftovers there are plenty.

Brittany, if you sprinkle cinnamon around where the ants are, they will go away for ever! It works, and you don't have to expose your kids to ickey chemicals!!!!

I hate ants. Last time we had ants in our house I made Bryan kill them and then called our pest control people to make sure they were really gone! They make me itch just looking at them.
