Maddy and Sparkle!



Maddy has a love for bugs! I guess it all began in Arkansas when Maddy was a tiny girl. On more than one occasion she could be found playing in ant piles. (We quickly discovered that Arkansas ants aren't quite as friendly as the ants we were used to. They were called "fire" ants for a reason. ) Though she didn't seem to mind too much! Last year around this time Maddy and ALL her neighborhood friends would spend hours outside our town home in Davenport, Iowa catching fireflies and squeezing their little bottoms until they lit up. This year the new bug of choice is the caterpillar. We have nests full of them all around our house. This really drives Aaron crazy because he has recently planted a garden and they eat all his veggies. Maddy is in heaven letting them crawl up and down her arms. She is constantly putting them in jars, naming them, and desperately trying to save them from her DADDY!

I was wondering why she wasn't freaking out in that picture.
