one of the many wars on ants in my kitchen.  very little brings me more joy than watching them eat the poison!

making a monster...

and a castle.

and lastly our new hair cuts… "matchy-matchy" short hair, as mary requested.

and in case someone was wondering… these are the two photos that i brought to the salon.  this is what i told the guy i wanted.  about three inches off and a totally different style.  the good news is, hair grows… and i'll be going to america in a year and i'll get a hair cut there.  :)
