I finally decided 10 years without a bike was long enough. I've been riding Jacob's bike around for a few days, but it really doesn't fit me well. So, I bought myself a Schwinn at Costco today. The kids and I inaugurated it with a bike ride around town. I've forgotten how fun it is. Eventually I'll get a trailer so I can haul L and P around. E has been so thoroughly indoctrinated into bike helmets that she keeps pestering me about getting one. I am planning on getting one, but it is interesting how worried she is.
B bought himself a remote control car today with all his accumulated birthday money. I was planning on getting one for him eventually so I'm glad he was able to get one. They're having a pretty good time with it in the garage right now.
We probably spent a good 5 hours shopping today. Towards the end of it L was getting pretty whiny. I said "stop whining L" and he said "I'm not whining" (in a whining voice). The lady next to us thought it was pretty hilarious.
I bought L a Fisher Price Smart Cycle for his birthday. They had a demo setup at ToysRUs and the kids had a great time with it. It will be really nice for wintertime when they can't get out and run around as much.
During all this shopping J had a great time playing with P. He did a photo session with her. I'll post the pictures later. He got a couple of super cute ones.

Way to go S! I loved riding my bike around town last year. I miss it so much I haven't ridden since the BIG move from Oregon. Enjoy! And definitely get a good helmet
I looked at the Smart Cycle for R and M for Christmas but they can't co-ordinate pedaling yet. Believe me, we've tried. So far they can manage it if they are going down our driveway but if you put them on a flat surface then it's a total no go:) Maybe next year - it looks so fun.
Oh, we loved the pic of J and P. We're looking forward to more...
Hey, how come J got to hold P until she fell asleep??? Somehow, P always was snatched out of my arms as soon as she started getting sleepy and snuggly...
