A night full of drama



In Texas, an ant is not an innocent bug that carries away food at a picnic. No these beasts will devour your leg in less than a minute. See above photo. Please picture this scenario with me...I (Amy) went to Target to get precious Audra some medicated lotion for her now painful eczema (resulting from last week's swimming lessons). Chris was in the backyard with all three kids, pulling up weeds and laying down new mulch! He apparently went to the garage to look for a tool where the music was playing loudly... in the meanwhile Audra was pushing Anders on the swing while she inadvertently stepped into an ant pile! Chris said he came around the corner and she was screaming like she was being beaten alive while Anders & Gunnar looked on with their mouths to their knees. I got a call at Target of a very distraught Audra! Can you blame her... her ankle was so swollen last night we couldn't even see the bites themselves but today they turn into white heads.....still swollen!!
**Please note that this is after Chris had already spread the "once/year ant killer!"
