Just two nights ago the kids were talking about wanting a pet. Ellen thought a rabbit would be just right and Isaiah is pro cat. And then, out of the blue...

the ants for the ant farm that Jeff and Wendy gave them for christmas arrived. Perfect timing.

They're all females. No queen.

Did you know queens can live twenty years?

And the males, aka "princes" sole purpose is to mate and then die.

We do not need little baby ants or everlasting ants.

We've got plenty to look at already thank you.
