tHe aNTs gO MarCHinG oNe bY oNe...

Today my wonderful husband got up early to go to a prayer meeting and came home to our youngest chicken saying she was hungry. The next sound I heard was my husband opening the pantry to get said youngest chicken her C-Roll, easier said than done.
You see we have in our little chicken coop what some might call an infestation, an ant infestation. These little guys like to get into my pantry before I can put my youngest chickens C-roll in a nifty little container known as a "lock and lock" (every chicken coop should have at least one). So needless to say I lost my mind momentarily yesterday when I opened a SUPER surgery C-roll and forgot to put it into a "Anti Ant Container" and today my husband discovered little ants all over the C-roll. Rebekah however was quite delighted to discover her new little friends share her love for the same C-roll. She was then quite devastated when Coby threw her little friends in the trash along with the C-roll she was going to share with her new friends for breakfast. Coby made the kids oatmeal instead and every so often I would hear Rebekah shreek delightedly "Oh! My friend, come here little friend." and when Coby killed it and put it in the trash she was very sad "don't trow my friend away." "He's happy, he is with all your other little friends eating the C-roll" "OH!! HAHA. Its their new house, their new square house." Yes Rebekah, your little friends are happy in the new square house that is the garbage can...

I love how EVERYone and EVERYthing is focused on her, a girl after my own heart...I think she's probably a pretty big deal.
