Mushroom Men Christmas

Thank goodness 2009 is gone!  The end of the year and holiday season was riddled with pain....

Christmas night thru the New Year I had such a debilitating ear ache.  I was in so much pain and it lasted almost four days.  I am so grateful that is over!  I have not been feeling like myself lately.  Just blah... 

After I got over my ear pain, my son Marshall and I hit the town!  We went to the city library and found a few books on ants. 

For Christmas he received a Nintendo ds Lite and a game called "Mushroom Men, Return of the Fungi".   The game is about a comet that comes into the earths atmosphere and brings to life all of these mushroom men.  They create colonies, fight insects and fight each other.  He was so excited to get the game. 

He is now thinking on how he can create his own live mushroom men.  He has come to the conclusion that if it can't be done he would like to create an ant colony this summer in a long pipe tube.  He wants to have a colony of one type of ants on one side, and then introduce a new type of ant on the other.  Will they fight? Will they learn to get along?  Maybe this summer we will find out!
