Ants on the Run

Today was the city track meet and since the weather was so nice the boys and I decided to stay for the entire meet. When the meet was over Nick took Cullen back to school on the team bus. Needless to say it was like a dream come true for Cullen, riding a school bus. I brought Geremu back home and asked him to go upstairs and get his pj's on while I cleaned out the van. Geremu got naked and started the tub, this time he didn't plug it. So I let him take a short bath before reading to him and putting him to bed. When Cullen got home he had some ice cream then got ready for bed. I laid down to relax...

A little while later I heard Cullen saying, "Get back in there!" I realized he was downstairs by Nick. Now it's pretty late so I headed down the stairs to shoo Cullen back to bed. When I got to the kitchen table I realize there was a problem. The ant farm was open and there were dead ants on the table in a pile, these ants are the ones that were affected by shaken ant syndrome. There were also ant crawling around on the table, in a water bottle, on the outside and inside of the ant farm. Nick opened the ant farm (don't ask me what he was thinking) to remove the dead ants and I don't think I need to explain the rest.

Since I was the one that originally put the ants in the farm and had read the directions I had a few tricks up my sleeve to help the cause, as well as two extra hands. About 5 ants are still in the farm the others are in a water bottle. Both containers are in the fridge for about 10 minutes and then we will try to put all the ants back into the farm. Wish us luck...
