Christopher Riding the Big bike and writing?

Grandma and Grandaddy got Christopher a bike when they last visited, so he could keep up with Anna and b/c the Little Red Tricycle was little. Anyway, I told Grandma during our visit last week that Christopher had started to ride the bigger bike on the driveway (not for longer distances). But that it was really funny because he has to move soo far to each side to stay on the pedals.... well I caught it on video today..........

Make one, it's fun www.OneTrueMedia.com

**** He usually wears his helmet, but I was being a slacker..... ********

This is totally unrelated to bike riding, but Christopher is writing his letters backwards, like his "P"s look like "q"s..... he's all of 2 yrs old and wring letters, so I'm thankful that he is experimenting. And he recognizes them both ways:) Has anyone ever heard of this? And what do I do to help him?

An Afternoon Outside

We snuck outside this afternoon and had our lunch....it's funny because as I post this it's raining and when I posted this morning it was raining....but still got a pretty couple of hours to enjoy our mid-60's weather and some fun time together......

Treasures at Goodwill

Brian and I "snuck" out this afternoon to run some errands at the local Walmart near Grandma and Granddaddy's. What fun to shop without kiddies!!! Please hear me out....I lOVE my kids....I take them everywhere and it's hard for me to leave them. But it's soo nice to get breaks and much needed time with Daddy :)

So we hit all the sales at Walmart..he hehee! And then on our way home we decided to try the local Goodwill. I really wanted to get some bikes for the kids. Grandma and Granddaddy live in a great subdivision with beautiful sidewalks and it was warm today! The perfect day for bike riding.

When we got there we saw some bikes parked out front and a sign above them that said "Bike 50% off today"!!! I looked quickly at the selection and found the "perfect deal" for us. It was a cute little pink bike with training wheels and a baby doll seat (perfect for my baby-loving daughter). We then ventured inside, me dragging the little pink bike, and found an old Rock-n-Roll trike (I wanted to get one for Lydia for Christmas or her b-day)!! Anyway, we walked up to the check-out and I saw a cute purse with the Target tags still on it...I have been wanting a non-diaper bag purse for sometime:) (I'm not a designer purse lady...I just like what I like and if I find it at a good deal, I'm there.) So in a matter of 2-3 minutes at the Goodwill we found the items on our wish list!!!

I have NEVER been so excited to get home and see my kids faces!! I knew they would be soo excited. We pulled the bikes out as soon as we got to the house and I ran inside!! I pulled out a bike helmet (that I also found at Goodwill) and told Anna that she needed it inorder to play with the surprise we got her....she found her shoes and ran outside:)
