As Abba could have told the rest of my readers, caulk doesn't seem to
stymie ants as much as I think it should. It should! I really, really
think it should! Unfortunately, the ants don't seem to think so. So... I
killed a bunch of ants this morning, and caulked some more, because I have to do something.
I
also baked a birthday cake, for that is the custom: on the 6-month and
12-month anniversary of one's child's birth, one bakes a birthday cake
for the daycare workers. This makes me happy, because I'm generally
looking for an excuse to bake. I chose white cake (recipe from a friend
of mine in Atlanta who makes beautiful, delicious, moist cakes)
decorated with whipped cream and plums, if you were curious. Though the decorating itself will happen tomorrow morning.
When BSM began his "Bye" mantra this afternoon, I decided that rather than sitting on the floor outside the apartment and watching him play with clothespins, this would be an opportune time to visit the laundry. This way I'd get something useful done, and BSM would get to be outside. Perfect! When we got there, one of his friends from daycare was crawling around while his father sorted laundry, so I took BSM out of his stroller to play with his friend. Oh, the fun they had! Crawling around, chasing each other, laughing... We had a great Outing. You know it was really great, because BSM was about 50% gray when it was over. Also because he was laughing the whole time.
Off to wipe down the counter before bed: Down with Ants! Down with Ants! Down with Ants!
