We were so excited to finally get our new ants in the mail! We bought the ant farm really cheap when a local toy store closed down a few months ago and we sent away for its new inhabitants immediately.
I love these educational, low maintenance pets! In Price, we raised tadpoles into frogs and I think Garreth and I got into them more than the kids, especially when they got big enough to eat crickets. (They went to live with the neighbor boy when we moved to Washington.) We are planning on getting caterpillars in the spring that we can raise to butterflies and set free.
In the meantime, we are really enjoying our ant farm. It is really fascinating to watch them.
We call this expression Sam's "Cosby face."

Cute Bill Cosby face.
That is my kind of pet - self-contained and not messy!
Yes, but how do you pet an ant....or scratch behind his ears... and does he come running when you get home??!!
