All about Mac

okay, for any of you who know Mac, you know he is so adorable and sweet and well mannered etc... He is truly a pleasure to be around.
Anyway, he cracks me up...
Last week I let him drive on my lap down the street and I told him we had to be careful or a policeman might catch us. And he said "will he put us in jail?" and I said "I am not sure, maybe" and he said "I do not want to go to jail and become a trash picker upper" See, while we are driving into Jackson, they always have prisoners out picking up trash and he has asked me who they are and I said that they were people who were in jail and the city makes them pick up trash. So that is the reason he doesn't want to go to jail.
Also yesterday he missed his bus to come home. Now I am not sure how that happens, since the teachers are supposed to stand there and put each kid on (especially a 5 year old) anyway, when all the busses left and Mac was there, the teacher asked him which bus he rides (like he has any idea, they are all yellow!!) and so then they take him into the office and call me. Well I couldn't leave to pick him up right away (because Kennedy rode the bus, and I had to wait until she got home) and when I got to the school, he was sitting in a chair in the office, totally asleep!!!! He was so cute, I couldn't stand it. I wish I had my camera in the car.
Oh well, that is my Mac, he is so sweet!

Things

I think this is so great! A true Southern Afternoon...
I took the kids and we went to the barn, and on our way out the lady who owns the property (about 70 years old) and her family were busily picking up sticks etc... So we decided to help them and while the kids picked up sticks the grandma and I were sitting on her old country porch sipping sweet tea (and she made homeade lemonade) and just chatted. She is precious! She said with her southern drawl"My it's hot, I think I should make us some lemonade" How cute is that???!!! Then she showed me all around her home, which has been in her family since the 1700's! That is amazing to me, that a family can be somewhere that long! Anyway, the home was originally very small, and had been added onto so many times, but was so cute and old and homey. She is sweet.
Today I am 38. Ouch, it sounds bad saying it, but it is better to get older than the alternative (death) so I guess I will keep getting older. When I am 40 I will go to Hawaii for a week and play. So anyone who wants to come is invited!
Mac is beginning to think that kindergarten is over, they have been out of school so long now. They will be out this week as well...So we are trying to keep busy at home. I am trying not to waste gas driving frivolous places. So....Entertainment is hard to come by.
We are going to make a big birthday cake today, so that will be fun. I love to bake with the kids, they think it is so exciting.
