A Sweet Sound To My Ears

I hate spiders, ants, box elder bugs, anything crawly really.  It's amazing that I like camping because I hate bugs.  So it was a sweet sound to my ears this morning when I heard Macey call from downstairs, "Mom, there is a huge spider on the wall, I'm gonna KILL it."

Now Maryn she would scream and run and tell me there was a spider.  If I find it I yell to Matt to come kill it and he makes me take care of it anyway.  Matt he tries to catch it and let it outside unless it's difficult that the thing meets it's demise.  Mason he'll analyze it and say eww and keep a safe distance from it.  And my sweet Macey is my designated spider killer.    

Happy Birthday Miss Macey

My Macey baby turned 5 yesterday.  Some days I still can't believe she is mine.  I was so fixated on having a boy first that I couldn't believe that I had 2 girls in a row.  Miss Macey started pre school this year and absolutely loves it.  She is sometimes hard to read but if you know her it's not hard at all.  She is an observer.  She watches people and picks things up from just watching other people do things.  She is very shy at first but once you get to know her watch out!  She is very self sufficient and has a funny sense of humor.  She asks very grown up questions sometimes like how much money will I need to buy a house?  Or how old do I have to be to drive?  She told me the other week that she wanted to grow up to be a hard worker like her Mommy and Daddy.  She is the middle child but makes sure that she is always first to sit on Daddy's lap or sit by Daddy at the table.  If she is not getting the cuddles she needs she will make it known to us.  She has a unique musicality and her little singing voice is darling.  Her favorite song is from Polar Express.  Her nickname is Cocoa so for her birthday we bought her a Family Size box of Cocoa Puffs.  She even has her own Cocoa Puff language.  She LOVES legos and is really good at building things.  And she loves her barbies and dolls as well.  She is a sweet girl and I love to see her smile especially when her little dimples emerge.  Love you much Miss Macey and Happy Birthday!
