ATTACK OF THE FIRE ANTS!

I took the kids swimming Sunday at a friends house. Everyone was having fun (although it may not appear so in the pool picture). After we got out, I got Libby's suit off and wrapped her up in her towel. I sat her in the grass, because the concrete was SO hot, just so I could get dressed. Well as you can see in the picture above she was not too happy. Well... if you scroll down to the picture on the bottom, you can see why. She started to crawl away and stuck her hand in fire ants! If you can zoom in on her right hand in the pic, you can even see the ants getting on her. Poor baby, if she hasn't had enough going on. I feel like the worst mother in the world. She, thankfully, hasn't acted like they bother her at all. Her teachers at daycare counted the bites and said there was 42 bites. Can you believe that?!? I just felt physically sick when I saw them on her. I of course screamed like a little baby and then started dipping her in the pool to get them off. Then I checked her out all over and screamed again because I saw something black all over her genitals too. But I was just panicking at that point, because it was a little clump of grass.
