Ridin' Bikes

A couple of weeks ago we all went outside to enjoy the nice weather. Coincidently, the plumber was in the basement working that day. All of our kids love, love, love being outside! I am sure this is true of most kids. Pictures of daddy helping daughter.


She finally got the hang of it.

Here is the little guy. He would stay outside all day if I would let him or had the time to do so myself!


Here is curly cutie riding her new Christmas bike.


It started getting a little chilly so we put bikes away and headed inside. The plumber finished his work....

.....and headed off only to return to our door with this in his hand.

Someone's bike didn't actually get put "away." This is what is left of the new Christmas bike, which I will remind you has only been ridden a few times because of the wonderful white winter we have thus far enjoyed this year. We are just so grateful that no one was attached to the seat at the time.



We didn't tell her right away that this had happened, fearing the reaction of a four year old who is prone to overreacting in most situations. But, a few days later we open the garage and the bike is sitting there with the seat on the ground. She picks up the seat, sets it on the bike where it should be, and says "What happened to my bike?" Me and my quick thinking say "The plumber ran over it." And she says "Oh, ok." She must not have been that attached to it!!! And now we get to add in the price of a new bike to the basement budget.
