Wingless fruitflies in my life

Today I had to stay home all day while I waited on Fed Ex to deliver a vial of fruit flies.  Yes, I said I wasted an entire day waiting for a fruit fly delivery.  Such is my life with boys.

This was because the last one delivered was left sitting on my front porch and an army of black sugar ants decided to burrow into the vial and contaminate it, sterilizing all the larvae.  After killing all the ants, we waited for a week and 1/2 for the flies to hatch….nothing, nada, zilch.  So, they sent another vial of maggots-that-hatch-into-flies via Fed Ex. 

The newts, they are hungry.  They would stare at me every time I walked by the aquarium.  I swear I even saw a bit of drool fall from ones mouth when I opened the new vial of fertile fruit flies and dumped the poor things into the cage. 

The things I do for my boys.
