Don't be alarmed

I now dub Macey as 'She who eats Scorpions'. Why? Yesterday in between painting classes I found Macey on the floor next to a dead scorpion (like, way dead, not that minute dead). Macey was chomping like she had put something in that she couldn't eat. That something was the stinger end of the scorpion. Yes, my beautiful little girl found a scorpion in my house and proceeded to eat it! Really, there must have been a horde of angels watching over her, because dead or alive that stinger can be lethal for an infant. She had no symptoms or side affects. Now an hour after this happened she did crawl in the kitchen and found a candy wraper that she did gag and puke up. Apparently our house isn't baby proof yet!
I know this doesn't look like the bored I described in an earlier post, but it does look like what they have been doing the most lately. Two new games and 105deg make the odds better for e-time for these beautiful boys.
After 8 years of our round table, we have finally grown-up. This is our new table. It seats six plus a leaf for 2 more. We got 6 parson chairs, plus the 2 I already had in the front room. I am lame: I put a clear plastic cloth on my new table. I wanted to be able to see it, but also be able to clean up after my children easily. I am very happy with my new furniture. Thanks, hubby.
Dan and Alex should work for ESPN; they love all things sports. On Saturday they went to an Arena Football Kids clinic.
Alex looks so tiny compared to the other kids.
And especially to that football. Later that night my boys and Bruce went to a game. The first thing Alex told me was how loud it was when the booms went off for the touchdowns. Did I mention that he has anxiety? Love that boy, even with his quirks!

WOW! I'm glad Macey is ok! Scorpions are NOT FUN! We now have pest control for a reason. I HATE scorpions. Congrats on a new table!

Oh a summer too remember! And there is still so many days left.

I am still planning on retiring in AZ :o}

You also gave me an idea for a post. The repair man was here this morning because our upstairs air conditioner wasn't working. We had a spider that got caught in the clamp and electricity wasn't making a connection. LOL

I hate scorpians! That lucky little girl! Marlee stepped on one once and I thought we might be safe here in Goodyear! I guess that's not the case!!
