What A Waste!

Today is the last day of spring break and it is RAINING. Again. It has rained every single day since Monday with the exception of part of Tuesday, when we did manage to get to the park. But still, it was windy and cold out. It is hard for 3 kids to keep busy inside the house for 5 days in a row; all day. I guess my saving grace is that I got three [evening] shifts this week instead of two! Now I am off to sneak in to my room to try and watch Grey's Anatomy that I had to tape from last night while I was at work. Hey, It's worth a try! You never know, right?

Way to Go Nick!

Yesterday was beautiful out. It was an early dismissal from school; at 1:30 due to Monday's report cards and Nick took his bike to school. First let me tell you we tried to take his training wheels off last week (at school where there is a big flat piece of cement) which resulted in a lot of screaming, the shrilling kind, and "I cant's" So back on went the training wheels so he could ride home. This is a repeat of what has been happening since last summer when we first tried to take off the training wheels. Then yesterday he just got on a started riding like he has been doing it his whole life. He was so proud of himself. He was giggling and saying "I'm doing it" the whole time. One crash in to a door, a wall and once in to the basketball pole and I thought he would be done, but he just got back up and ask for help to get started again. He did great! There will be no stopping him now, except at every road and driveway where he knows he has to walk his bike across......
