The Yucks

I realized that I like to work out because I felt totally 'blah' this past week when I didn't. I usually go bike riding or walking with my mom in the mornings but she was out of town and besides it was too hot anyway. And then when it finally got cooler, we all ended up with the stomach flu (minus Jordyn.....thank heavens!!) According to Makenna, we had a case of the yucks;) Fortunately, we all kind of got it around the same time so we didn't have to deal with it forever but it still sucked. So today I was ready to get out of the house and work out. We rode bikes for an hour this morning and I had to get out of the house when Travis was doing trumpet lessons tonight, so I went bike riding again. It was my second time and I was pulling 55 pounds of kids behind me. We also have some really good hills in our development and it was pretty hard going up. Makenna all of a sudden blurts out, "Moooooom! Go faster!! You are going way too slow!!" Sorry baby.....that was as fast as my big butt could go;)
We also made some yummy broiled chicken salad for dinner and Makenna decided she needed to watch me cut up the chicken. She got her stool and stood right next to me. After a few minutes she asked if she could cut the chicken. Obviously I told her no. She pondered that for a minute and then informed me that when she gets older, and when Daddy and I are at work, she is going to cut up the chicken and make us dinner. I am going to hold her to that when she gets to be a teenager;)
