I have been very busy with work and haven’t been able to keep up with my posts. Right now I am in an airport writing this. I called the girls a few minutes ago and McKenna told me that she has grown up. She also said that she let the monkeys out of their cages at the zoo. Carrie had off today as the girls school was closed. I will be home tomorrow and will post some photos of the girls from the past weekend.
Gone Batty
Halloween weekend was a nice one. The weather was beautiful and we had a nice time as a family.
Saturday morning we went to the Travis Country Family day where there were games and activities for the girls. Here is a video of one of our house dancers:
That evening after a quick dinner it was time for Trick or Treating. The girls were both bats and loved their costumes. Carrie and I were Coneheads. They really both got it this year and just enjoyed the whole experience from start to finish. We returned home by 8:30 and they were very ready for bed.
Maya is sick again and McKenna’s bee sting has healed but the antibiotics have caused her to have bad diareea. Maya has a fever and her chest is very congested… you wouldn’t know it by her mood.
Hectic Morning
Last night everyone slept through the night for the first time in a long while. McKenna got her 5th star on her chart for not waking us up.
Last night after work Maya threw up several times but was fine this morning. McKenna’s Bee sting from Saturday was very swollen when she woke up this morning so much so that it was impacting her speech. We decided to take her in to the doctor. So I dropped Maya off at school and took her to the Drs. On our ride there she complained several times about feeling sick so I stopped the car and let her get out to try and throw up. She didn’t so we proceeded to the drs office. The doctor looked at her cheek and determined that it was infected and gave us a prescription for an antibiotic. While we were at CVS she again felt sick and I took her to the bathroom where the nausa passed. So she seemed fine and I took her to school. She was happy to be there and was excited to paint pumpkins. Unfortunately she turned to me with tears and said her tummy was sick. I took her to the school potty and again her nausa passed. I had no choice but to take her home with me and work remotely. I gave her the antiboictic witha snack and then some lunch. She was back to normal for the rest of the day. Her cheek is even less swollen as well.
Weekend with the girls
Carrie worked both days this past weekend and I was able to spend a lot of quality time with the girls.
Poor McKenna was stung by a bee on the inside of her mouth while eating cake at a birthday party. It is the second time in her life that she has been stung near her mouth. Nasty little yellow jackets.
McKenna has been waking me up every night to go potty. I need to put an end to this routine.
Maya is getting disobediant and we are nearing “timeouts”. She is also a speedy little girl and will run away from you if she has something in her hands that she shouldn’t.
Both girls seem to be getting better from their recent coughs.
McKenna’s Birthday Week
It was a short school week for the girls as we went up to Dallas to see the Texas vs OU game. I was up there already due to a business meeting. Friday night we went to a pumpkin patch near Migi’s. Saturday was the game day and the girls spent part of the day with Migi while we were at the game. In the evening we went to a local fair that I will post pictures to tomorrow evening… along with some video from McKenna’s birthday.
In the mean time here is a link to some photos:

Last week McKenna and I shared her first school project/homework assignment. It was a scavenger hunt. This week we need to bring them in to school and present them to the class.
