So I finally get the ants in the mail, and I waste half of the day putting the ants and sand in exactly according to the instructions, only to get to see them in action for 4 days. Just as they were building their tunnels, my dog knocked over the plant next to the windowsill they were on, which made the room shake, and subsequently cause the ant farm to tip over. I can get over having to clean up all the dirt and ants, but come on, shouldn't a child's toy have sturdier base. I couldn't believe that the Uncle Milton company wouldn't think to build a product that had a larger, heavier base. Geez.
