Ants are not our friends!!

Do you notice a slight difference in between the right and left ear?

Sadly the ants from last year have returned to our house. They seem to make a yearly appearance around the beginning of Sept. And for some reason they always start out in the little guy's room. I promise I clean his room and change his sheets frequently and we have the house sprayed. But usually the first place I find the ants is in his bed. And that is how his ear got looking like this.

He wasn't the only victim. While I was outside mixing some stuff to spray around his room an ant managed to get up on my sandal and onto my little toe. And now my foot looks like this. All from one bite on my little toe. These pictures were all taken after we had both been taking benadryl and using cortisol cream for a day. I think I've come to the conclusion we're highly allergic. With a foot like this walking all day Saturday at Canton should be interesting. Wish me luck.

Poor little Evan! And you too Becca. I had no idea what one little ant could do. What kind ... fire ants? Well, I hope they are exterminated asap.

Wow! I thought Anne was the one who had problems with insect bites. I'm so sorry. I hope this goes away soon. And . . . I hope it is not as painful as it looks.

as soon as you get a bite wash it with vinegar so it will pull out the poison. I know it sounds like a texan thing-but it works and it helps. We have allergies like that here too and it slows it down a lot. Thanks so much for dinner! They got you that night! Hope it wasn't from walking over! :) It was wonderful! Have fun in Canton!
