Sometimes you gotta learn the hard way

Today Connor learned an important lesson: never stomp on an anthill while wearing Crocs.



The picture's not the greatest, but he was asleep when I took it. Not only do I not supervise my children closely enough, but when they are attacked by wildlife, I photograph it (and blog it) . I'm still waiting for my Mother of the Year award.

Well, at least you waited until he was asleep. I probably would have been like, "No! Stop brushing them off, Babe, I have to get an action shot!"

But, seriously, ants are the worst. :( Poor little guy.

For some reason, my kids (meaning the boy) have managed to torture the fire ants and not get bitten. I am waiting (with benedryl in hand) for him to learn that lesson.
I am apparently the Fire Ant magnet....poor baby. Those buggers are AWFUL

I shouldn't laugh but I am! I picked up the peanut from school and went shopping. As we are checking out of Old Navy, I notice that her shorts are on backwards.

We should start a club.

Don't worry. I won't be winning "mother of the year" award anytime soon either. I dressed Kaiden in his Halloween costume the other day and he FREAKED out. In an effort to get a proper picture I made him keep it on for nearly 10 minutes while he was screaming! I still didn't get the "perfect" picture, but I figured I may scar him if I didn't remove the large Goofy hat from his head!
Ho hum.

That's a hard lesson to learn...although effective...
