the ants.

we have ants in our place. 

i can't stand them

they sneak in from the MIDDLE of our apartment (where the water heater and furnace are) and if ANYTHING gets on the floor, they will come a crawlin. 

which doesn't help with the spider issue. but that's a different post for a different day. 

well, bubba has always been fascinated by the ants. he picks them up, and lets them crawl on him. 

he also picks them up and comes in and throws them at me. 

i think you know how i feel about that. 

and then he went through a faze where he wanted to kill all the ants. 

and i would hear him in the kitchen yelling at them to "go away" and then it would proceed with hitting the floor.

(i know, i taught him well.)

well..this is what happened today. 

i was in making dinner (first time EVER using our crockpot that we got for christmas!) and bubba thought he was being ever so helpful in sweeping the floors. 

since we have to sweep a lot to keep the ants away

so he was sweeping the floor, and had a nice little pile going, and then i hear 

"oh no!"

i turn around to look at him, and he's squatting on the floor, picking up the ants. 

next i hear

"it's ok, it's ok"

i turn to look at him again, and he's KISSING the ants, and trying to hug them. and i hear

"i luw you, it's ok"

melt.my.heart.

so yes, the ants will probably continue to live with us, because bubba loves them. :)
