....and then she got to go ride her bike and go out for ice cream OR she could refuse and go to bed at 6:45....any guesses which she chose?? Yep, she's in bed. Darn it, she is so stubborn it's infuriating at times, but she has to learn who's the boss....even if it means Mommy doesn't get any ice cream :(
Maggie has had a really exciting week. Last Sunday she decided she wanted her training wheels off and she is really getting good at riding without them. She just rode all the way from the neighbors house to our garage with 2 little wobbles and that's saying something because our neighbor is probably close to a quarter mile away. I think Gracie getting to be such a good rider so quickly, was the push she needed to master 2 wheeled riding!
Maggie's great week continued at school, yesterday, we got a note home and she was invited to take a series of tests to place her in Challenge for next year. She's super excited that she might get to be in Challenge, but is a little nervous about the 3 tests she has to take. Today, while I was in her classroom helping with a few projects, she took a timed math test, they start with 5 minutes to do 54 math problems, when they get them all right, then they get to move to 4 minutes, then 3 and so on...last week she passed to the 4 minute group and today on her first try she got 100% with time to spare, so next week she's on to the 3 minute group! She was SO proud of herself and I was really glad I got to be there to see how happy she was. It's fun to watch her confidence grow.
This was our first week as a soccer family. Because of bad weather last week, each of the girls had 3 practices this week. It made things a little hectic, but Coach Arnie and the girls had a good time. Maggie has her first game tomorrow morning and Gracie has hers on Monday. I can't wait to watch. Yesterday, Gracie went to practice with a frilly skirt on....Coach wasn't impressed :) I made sure she had shin guards, tennis shoes and leggings....the skirt was not worth the argument.

| Her last ride with training wheels, right after this she asked Arnie to take them off. |
 |
| Gracie decided this week that she likes bananas, that's a big step around here! |
 |
| On Wednesday I had a meeting at the College ALL day. So Maggie got to go to Gracie's school for a couple hours after school. She loved it and Gracie thought it was awesome to have her there. |

| Yesterday, while we were on our walk Gracie saw a squirrel sitting up on his back legs really still. She said, "Mom that squirrel is trying to poop." Then he ran off and she said, "He got it done." Where does she learn this stuff???? |

| She must not be the flying kind of "swooper hero" she needs her bike to get the job done! |
