Summer Cabin Fever

Cabin fever has set in with Mackenzie. With the highs being in the 100's I don't take the kids outside to play. I let Jerrod keep the car and the kids and I stay home. 

Mackenzie is the worst at having to stay in the house. She would rather be outside in the grass playing, or in the sprinkler playing. She has a large workbook with simple addition, some spelling, writing and word problems for first graders, but that she can do only for so long before she gets tired of it. She even has a packet of papers her kindergarten teacher gave out to students but she is already almost finished with those also. She will read for so long but gets tired of doing that also. If only she wasn't so busy all the time!!!

Kylie hasn't been that bad this summer. She prefers staying inside playing with her barbies anyway. Heck, you give her a sippy cup with some type of drink, her monkey and some barbies or a book she is set for the rest of the day. As long as she has her cup of milk in the morning she is all good. What would make her day even better is if I let her have chicken nuggets for lunch every day, but that isn't going to happen. She even goes and just lays down in bed for a little bit in the afternoon. She mostly does that when she is frustrated with Gabryle trying to play with her barbies.

Gabryle is between the two girls. He loves playing outside, but not for a long long time, but loves playing inside. As long as he has some tea or milk in his sippy and noise in the house he is set. He will go and play with his basket of trucks and cars, or go climb into the toy box and play with the toys in it. When you let him go outside though he loves it. He especially loves the sprinkler and water. However he does not love to stay outside for a long long period of time like Mackenzie.

Hopefully this real bad heat wave will end soon and we will go back down into the 90's. I don't really see it happening soon though as we are just about to get into our hottest part of the year in the next few weeks. This time of the year is when I wished we lived in someplace like Colorado, where it stays nice during the summer!!!!

Till next time!!!
