Attack of the Ants & Making Cookies

Ok, so we have a small problem with ants... Here they are eating the poison nectar of death (aka Terro), which seems to work pretty well. I put it out, they flock to it, and then they disappear for a few weeks. But, then we have a big rain and suddenly I have little visitors again.
This seems like a small problem until they start hitching rides to church and marching across the pew and onto the shoulders of other unsuspecting victims (true story). Or, I am driving somewhere and feel something crawling on my neck and voila! it's a tiny hitch hiker. And yes, sometimes I will be searching for a diaper and one or two will come marching out of the diaper bag. Yuck! So, does anyone have any suggestions?? I have tried spraying the perimeter of our house with Home Defense Pro, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference. Any suggestions?

On a completely different note, Alex has discovered the joy of baking cookies...

...Or, should I say, eating cookie dough while Mommy is trying to make cookies.

He tries to help me dump various ingredients in the mixer, but he always ends up dipping his measuring cup in to steal a few bites...
He takes this job very seriously.

And, he thinks that I don't have a clue...LOL!
