I knew this was going to be a long week. Yesterday I stayed home alone with really upset stomach and body aches. Last night Mackenzie was running a fever. I gave her medicine at about 3 this morning and it never came back, but we stayed home together because she still said she wasn't feeling good. Might have been a little bit of not wanting to give up the Mommy time, but I was ok with it, our lazy day girl time was a good day.

In BIG news...Mackenzie is riding her bike with no training wheels!! On Monday we went down to the park by our house and she ran in to two of her friends from school. They had both just learned to ride and were on their bikes that day. So I promised her that the next night we would work on it. I couldn't believe how well she did. She was getting it pretty good...even with flat tires, a seat that kept turning, and too low! lol So yesterday morning before I realized I wasn't going to be able to make it to work, I took her bike to the gas station and filled up the tires. So yesterday she wanted to ride as soon as she got home. I sat by and watched as off she went! She is just doing it...I am so proud of her. She never gave up, never got frustrated, just kept trying until she got it.

Last night the boys Parents as Teachers came by. She (of course) is very impressed with both the boys, especially with Austin's talking. So Turner wants to be a pirate for Halloween, and what does every pirate have....a parrot! And we are always calling Austin our little parrot because he says EVERYthing that Mackenzie and Turner do!! I know it would be so mean....but so cute!! So you'll have to let me know if you find a good Parrot costume idea out there! BTW - Mackenzie wants to be a vet!
