Spring Break

I can't believe it's Friday! Time sure flies when you are having fun. We have thoroughly enjoyed a little "spring" in our break this year. I completed the usual task of sorting through spring clothes and switching out the kids winter to spring/summer wardrobe, but beyond that, I haven't managed to accomplish much.


I won't be winning any parenting awards with this one but we've never made it a top priority to teach the kids to ride their bikes. Last spring, we spent a day working with the kids and Delaney picked it up fairly easily, but the boys just didn't catch on. Since, they've been un-interested in trying and we really didn't make any real attempt. So, this was at the top of my "to do" list for Spring Break. Although, the conditions were hardly optimal with all the wind, I convinced Jax to give it a shot on Wednesday. Once he was on, he was determined and within about 10 minutes, he was riding. Baylor had zero interest in giving it a try, along with a very long list of reasons why he didn't want to learn, nor did he CARE!


However, on Thursday, I convinced him to give me ten tries. Once I had him on his bike, he was also determined- very frustrated a few times-but determined. So, now I have three bike riders and all they want to do is ride their bikes. I may never accomplish anything indoors.



I offered to take them several places but unless it involved ice cream, they were perfectly content to just hang out at the house.

What does it mean when your kids begin telling you to take their picture and put it on the blog?

Today, we met some friends at the zoo, but we sure missed Mr. Sunshine. It was even a little chilly. All in all, we can't complain. It's been a terrific spring break with my kiddos.
