The Ant Bully

I can tell that spring is coming because ants start showing up uninvited in the kitchen! Luckily, it is just on the floor around the baseboards, but still, a little disturbing to know that I'm not the only one eating our food! So today I found a bigger trail of them and I swiped them up and set out some cornmeal for them to munch on. (I've heard cornmeal is the trick!?!) Which is great so Ryk won't get harmed or we won't have any dangerous chemicals in free range.  But I really felt like after I was done that I was going to get zapped by ants and named The Ant Bully! haha. I don't know how many of you have seen the movie, but I thought it was cute! (not as cute as pixar but still cute) Especially because its an animated kids movie. I had never heard of it until Trev put it on our Netflix, but it made me think twice about killing those little ants.  Honestly, I'm not the kind to go torture any living thing, but sometimes, when they cross the line, (Ahem, the kitchen line), or start gathering in large crowds on sidewalks...then I have to take matters into my own hands. Which I did. So just to forewarn you, if I don't blog, its probably because I got carried away by ants. :)

 On a different note...Ryker took his first steps yesterday. Yes, Megan, you saw his first pivot, but he really took two and three WHOLE steps without holding me or Trevor! :) We were pretty excited! It is so cute to see Little Man wobbling and balancing and then FINALLY take those steps! But I know now that along with those steps comes some pains, for me and for Ryk. For instance, sometimes Ryk acts like he is going to walk and then bails last minute. Hence the cute little gash that is on his forehead! Poor guy! Sorry!!!
AND!!! Since I had my prayer answered for ATLEAST one day to be sunny and warm this week, I decided I should take my opportunity I was given and go RUNNING!! Oh heaven....It was AAAmazing! I had to bundle Ryker up pretty good though! And YES, those are socks on his hands! I forgot his gloves and when I came in to find them, I couldn't. So socks it was! He stayed awake the whole run and I think he had a lot of fun just being outside. He didn't make a fuss.(atleast not loud enough that I could hear over my music.)    And P.S., I'm selling this jogger cause I just inherited my sisters....WAHOO! I'm in love with it! So if you are interested in a jogger, let me know. I put it up on craigslist...so let me know!



Well I am off. I'm gonna have some Dinner with the parentals since Trev is at the GRAND CANYON for his geology class. What a class! So thats me for the next three days...husband-less. I hate it! But obviously it was not an opportunity to pass up! Adios!
