This really nice, beautiful lady came and rescued us. She put us in the fridge for 10 minutes, which was pretty shocking and actually pretty rude. However, she carefully dumped us in to this sand habitat. Now I have these two little girls that come and watch every move we make...every tunnel we dig, every grain of sand we carry. They bring all their grubby-fingered friends to come and see us. They feed us and give us water. They really love us. We are pretty happy, although our life expectancy was drastically decreased, but with the good care we are getting, we think we will live longer than out in the wild, even in this hot and humid environment. Well, we better sign off. We have tunnels to dig and work to be done.

Oh, this is lovely. I've always wanted an ant farm, too, and it sounds as if your kids are really learning in a fun way, which will increase their thirst for knowledge even more. Nice twist on the post...and you just gave me an idea...I wonder if anyone out there is gonna write from a "Pet Rock" perspective (okay, I'm dating myself).
Peace,

How neat! I didn't realize they still had ant farms.
A very original view. I never had one...I kinda wished I did....
This is a really neat idea!
Neat. I love how ants work together. How nice that the ants are so loved.
Wonderful take on the theme. I love that you think of the ants as pets - most people won't give insects that much credit, however much they might deserve it.
Brit and I had an ant farm once. I think they all lived for like, 20 minutes. I still can't imagine what we might have done to kill off a colony of ants...
McKenna asks almost every day for a pet. I wonder how she would like some ants??
I do ants! and as they die, you can replace them and no one will notice. I hope it doesn't get knocked off that table!
