Attack (and Demise) of the Ants
Hi All --
Here's the latest with the house!
CARPENTER ANTS!!!!
. Yep, we have ants. Yippee doo.
. After a big rain storm one night, we went outside and low and behold, there were ANTS crawling up the side of our house!
. We deteremined they are coming from a tree near by the house.
. Adam's dad came over with some "special" spray and sprayed around the whole house and the tree.
. The ants seem to be gone, and we are find ant carcasses and drunken ants here and there. It is really thrilling. But hey, at least they are dead and/or almost dead. That is better than lots of live ants.
. Adam's dad has more spray so he will be back in a month or so.
YARDWORK
. Here are some pics of my man mowing the lawn. How manly.
UPSTAIRS CEILING
. Adam decided to get rid of some ceiling tiles upstairs. Here are some pics of the demo. We'll need to put some new dry wall up here.
OFFICE
. The office is finally furnished! We made a trip to Ikea over the weekend and bought some stuff.
. Everyone helped to put together the crazy swedish furniture. See pics below.
. And here are some pics of the before...
. and after! I need a rug maybe....
FLOWERS
. And lastly, here is a pic of me in front of some flowers in our back yard. AHHHHHH :)
That's all folks!

Hey,
Swiss, swedes, all those crazy Europeans are the same. I really like the office and am very jealous. Your flowers are beautiful, but Carol's shoes are even more beautiful. I should have a home of my own in about a month. Yippee!!

Oops. Swedes. Whoops. Will correct asap.
Whoops, misspelled your name, Carole. I wish I could correct it ASAP.
Sorry,
Kate
