Lily got a new bike for her birthday. Since then, she’s been asking (read, begging) to have her training wheels taken off. We haven’t yet, but Papa did with the bike he has at his house.
She so wants to ride without training wheels that she’s been trying to do it herself. She’s also pretty good, and can go 10-30 feet before she puts her feet down…
Or epically crashes…
I was reading Attack of the Twins: New Artwork that I’d discovered on Pinterest. I probably wouldn’t have noticed it, but we both have daughters named Lily, so it definitely caught my eye.
Lily & Navy's finished masterpieces.
The mom got canvas, painters’ tape, and finger paints. She taped off each child’s name on the canvas. Then, she let them paint.
I modified the project a little bit with the age differences in my children. Lily had a bigger, more complex project. Navy’s was smaller and more simplistic.
Lily picked a flower from our backyard.
With errands to run, I wanted to have a decent family dinner. No fast food. Bob Evans is great for that.
The kids ate well. Navy destroyed his cheese toasty and shared (read: fed me with his grubby hands) some green beans with me.
It was a good evening, and I so enjoy time with Henry and the kids.
Thursday’s are always crazy for us. Even with our stay-cation, today was no different.
We met Henry at Spyro’s Pancake House for lunch. I love the Greek flare to their menu. We’be also never taken Michelle there before.
