Last night Dave went outside to mow the lawn and Jared of coarse went along How could he NOT. In Jared's exploration of the great outdoors...he came across a HUGE red ant hill. Jared is such a friendly kid he tried to make some friends. The poor kid was wearing open shoes so the ants made a home in there. He of coarse got bit and went to be comforted by Daddy...we tried to find the problem of his pain and stripped him down, not knowing the problem was in his shoes--so the shoes came off last. By the time we found the ants Jared was screaming from the pain. The poor boy cried for a LONG LONG time and was in and out of sleep for about two hours as we tried to make him feel less pain or more comfortable. We figured there was about 10 or 15 bites on his feet and legs. Poor baby.
It was a really rough night for all of us...thus the bags under all of our eyes. This morning he is doing much better...however I was able to count the ant bites since they are showing up better. I have counted 5 on his legs, about 8 on his left foot and about 23 on his right foot. My poor little boy. OUCH!!!!!

Oh how sad! Boys will be boys that is for sure! We found some nice critters roaming around yesterday as Andrew and I were weeding and of course he wants to see everything! Hope he starts feeling better and you get better sleep tonight!
Oh dear! That poor boy! I hope you are doing well! I love you!
spray windex on them when it itches... i swear it works... and you can just pop those guys while he sleeps... my mom used to do that when we were little growing up in texas... good luck!
sad...and gross, those things are huge. we've had some viscious ants this summer! i got bit all up and down my leg at work one day, and i bet jared probably handled it better than me! can't wait to here about the new baby sometime soon!!!
