A Quick Update on Lex's Ants

Lex had been keeping his ants on the cutting board in the kitchen most of the time.  I don't know why, but that was the spot he kept choosing to put them.  And then something strange happened.  We noticed that the tunnels that the ants had made were filling back up with liquid.  It was like the gel was melting.  After some observation, Lex realized that the steam from the nearby dishwasher was too hot and too close to his ants.  He isn't going to keep them there any more.

So, this morning, Lex and I opened up his ant farm for a little bit of fresh oxygen, and to remove any dead ants.  I found four dead ants and got them out with a pair of plastic tweezers that came with some science kit or other that the kids have.  Then, we sealed the ants back up.

Here's his final report:

What did we do this weekend?



We played with LEGOs on Friday.  Then we went to the local Japanese Steakhouse for dinner.  Afterwards we went to Cavender's Boot City.

Some of us bought boots and some of us bought hats.

Lex made a waterpark on Minecraft.

Saturday was a day filled with soccer.

Connor finally got to play goalie.





Then we got a pizza for dinner on Saturday night.  I shot a random video when we were picking it up.

On Sunday we finally moved all the extra stuff out of our garage into a storage space.

The LEGO Bat Cave

Connor and Lex enjoyed a trip to the LEGO store where they cashed in some gift certificates and money that they made selling toys they had outgrown.

Connor decided to buy the Bat Cave set.  He loves it.
