the ants, the ants, thats go marching in

Living in Puerto Rico opens our eyes to a whole new world we've never lived in before. The beaches, the rainforest, the lizards, iguanas, hundreds of stray dogs (satos), horses at stoplights, horses in the back of pickup trucks, horses on the side of the highway...yea horses pretty much everywhere in the strangest places you will ever see. Anyways we have also been introduced to the pesky little critters that crawl around that you can't always see. BUGS...yea have you ever heard of sea lice? Yesterday we had an army invade our back porch and attack Keegan (our almost 4 year old). I was upstairs with Kaid going over his take home folder from school and I hear Keegan start screaming and crying in the back screened in porch (which is open up to our living room). We was crying, "The ants, the ants are biting me!!!!" My poor little Keegan got attacked by fire ants. It's not like he stepped into a nest or anything. He was sitting in the porch playing with his dinosaurs and they came in. I traced their path to a nuttela sandwich I made Keegan sitting on the floor. That is what attracted them in the porch, and on the way they started biting Keegan's legs. So note to self...don't let the kids take food outside unless it's on a plate on the table..and buy some stinkin ant spray. Keegan is doing good and we just had to run his legs under water and he was fine after that. Oh and they boys found a baby lizard in our kitchen last night. Scott was sweeping the floor and swept the little guy right up. We put him back outside but the boys were thrilled to find one in the house.
