Easter in September

While I was cleaning out the cupboards from the ants, I found some Easter egg kits and decided to let the kids decorate eggs. The coloring did not end until late, but everyone had a great Easter in September.

Jason Killing Ants

Here is one more picture of Jason getting in on the "fun" of killing ants.

Attack of the Ants

One of the most nerve-racking things that has happened recently is that ants invaded our kitchen cupboards. With all the rain we had several of weeks ago the ants apparently "floated" into our house. We had to clear out the cupboards twice which tested my patience and sanity to say the least. I stayed up all night trying to kill after seeing how they were getting into the cupboards. Dad finally came over the next day to spray the house with his professional strength insecticide. I hope all of the ants are gone for good now. Here are a few pictures of the emptying of the cabinets the first time. I was too stressed the second time to take any pictures.

Things to Do List

1. Study for midterm
2. Go grocery shopping
3. Go to the bank
4. Go to the post office
5. Help children practice parts and songs for primary program
6. Give someone who has a Sam's card a list of supplies needed for the church
7. Plan Jeffy's birthday party (now thinking of changing the date to Oct. 24th)
8. Call parents to tell them what special song to practice with their children
9. Get an alignment on the van
10. Get an oil change on the van
11. Buy silicone to fill cracks in window and cupboards so ants NEVER return
12. Follow up on Trunk-or-Treat assignments

At this point I can't remember why I like this month so much! Oh yeah, it's because it is cooler and Halloween is at the end.

After I said my prayers last night, I thought of doing yoga. Maybe that will help relieve some of the stress I feel right now.

Ethan Being Ethan

I recorded Ethan when he thought I was just taking a picture.

The Aftermath

This is what happened after that last one didn't work.
