Bike Rides and Karaoke Machines

The new hotness with the kids is bike rides.  We go out more often than not.  Sometimes Nicky and I walk to the park while the kids ride, sometimes we all 4 ride.  AJ loves to peddle his little legs off.  I'm personally impressed at just how good the kids are at peddling the little single gear bikes.  I can't do anything without 4 or 5 gears, and they do it all with 1.

I bought 2 new board games, specifically Magic Labyrinth and Viva Topo!.  Both are designed for kids ages 4-8, and I happen to have 2 of those.  Magic Labyrinth is a memory game and Viva Topo is a little cat and mouse push your luck game.  The kids request both of them daily, so I'm glad to hear they're a hit.

Last week I flew to New York for work, and was gone for 3 days.  It's weird, before I had kids, it would have been totally awesome.  It was still cool, but it isn't as cool as it could be, because I was thinking about hanging out with the kids and Nicky.  Weird how that happens.

Yesterday, I was rough housing with AJ on the bed and he did a little spin kick move.  I don't know where he saw that, or what gave him the idea but I'm always surprised by how much different AJ and Taylor are, when I don't feel like we parent any differently for either of them.  Everyone says that, but it's different when they're your kids.

No pictures this time, talk to Nicky's photography skills!
