The Ants FINALLY Came

We got Sydney this ant farm for Christmas. You have to fill out a coupon and send away for ants and it can take 2-6 weeks. So about 2 weeks before Christmas, I sent away for them hoping they would come in time.

Christmas came and went and there were still no ants. Then her birthday came and went and there were still no ants. Finally I called the company and they informed me that they don't send the ants until there is a 4-5 day stretch of weather well above freezing. It's not that cold here in Portland, but apparently they do a state average and that was keeping them from sending us the ants!

But yesterday when I went to get the mail, there were ants in the mailbox! And we finally got to put together the ant farm.

  3. I'm not sure how I feel about a post about ants and then pictures from the kitchen with a mixer... Hmm... LOL! We had an ant farm once, but I don't think we ever sent in for the ants. I'm not really sure what we did come to think of it! I hope the ants are um, fun? :) ... and I'm glad to hear the company takes care of its ants!
