I think the word is out in the ant community...the Scottbergs have two young boys and there is always food on the floor for the taking! One or two ants probably stumbled upon our kitchen, but once they saw the feast, they spread the word. I'm pretty sure Kent is soley responsible for the influx of this disgusting little creatures. He sneaks food, hides food, and drops it along various paths in the house. I am officially at war with the ants in Frankfort, and I will prevail!
My brother and his girlfriend came over last night, and instead of putting our best foot forward, she saw one of the most chaotic events of the Scottberg family life...mealtime. Kent was repeatedly sticking his fist in the ranch dressing and then licking it like a lollipop, Parker insisted on putting the ranch dressing on his corn on the cob, and then Kent kindly recycled the carrots he was eating. Poor girl. So much for impressing the company.
I wanted to appear to be a nice, normal, organized, and calm family. I'm pretty sure that's not what she saw! She saw "cheaper by the dozen" chaos, but we only have two kids! What's wrong with us?

That is exactly why Brian and I love you guys because you are not "normal..." normal is boring:-) Check out my blog so you can see that your niece eats just like Kent and Parker! So much for lady-like table manners!
I have no idea what normal is! To me that is what a house of two little boys is supposed to be like!
Nothing is wrong with you!! You guys have a completly normal life with 2 kids under the age of 5!!
It's okay not to "appear" to be perfect. None of us are. My son was reminding me the other day how I would be yelling at him in the car before church and then I would be all smiles when we stepped our feet out the car door. I was wearing a mask - trying to appear "normal" - when in reality the yelling at my kids in the car was the norm for most people that day. I don't think I messed him up too much. (And to clarify, I didn't yell every Sunday - very few in fact) lol Just remember the boys won't be eating like that when they are trying to impress the girls in a few years!
I literally just finished getting rid of ants in our laundry room. They were everywhere. There is a garbage in there and that is where the girls throw away their popsicle sticks. Yuck! I feel like they are crawling all over me! And by the way, I am totally up for a girls get together! I am in Cincinnati so I am sure we are all within reach! ... and for the record, you are very normal. I am convinced that life with kids is just going to be like that!
Hey, I know... you should start an ant farm, the boys would LOVE it! And, I'm sure you would have so much fun keeping them alive... :)
try Terro.
You put a small drop on a piece of paper and the ants bring it home to share with all of their friends. It works.
