A real post.

So my husband turned 30 yesterday. He was able to take the day off and spend the day with his girls. No parties, nothing big. We just kept it simple. For much of the day Darin dragged us from store to store looking at bikes. He's got it in his head that we need to buy some bikes. As if we can afford it, but sometimes not even the fluttery batting of the eyelashes can change a man's mind. So needless to say there is now a pepto-bismol pink mountain bike sitting in my living room. Not my first choice of colors in a bike but it's the only one that was short enough that I could actually ride. It's nothing fancy, so don't bother asking for any details.
I gotta admit, I'm terrified. I haven't ridden a bike since I was probably 10. I can pretty much plan on getting banged up. But with any luck I'll drop a few pounds, build a little muscle, and have a ton of fun.


Since I haven't spent much time in the blogosphere lately I'm posting a few recent pics:

Darin successfully changed the brakes and rotors in both our cars. The kids lost interest in the project rather quickly and built a "house" of sorts.

I was helping Calin with homework when we heard music coming from the bedroom.


Mama's little helper.


I love this little man.


And so does she.
