Sunday Snaps

We woke up late, missed church and enjoyed an unusually slow morning. I made the kids breakfast, gave everyone showers, and they pretty much dressed themselves. My Sweets returned from a brief motorcycle ride, and I took Bleu to her friend Caleb's 2nd birthday party at a gymnasium.


Meanwhile, Buby went on a "Daddy Date" to some fantastic sports facility with race cars and batting cages and mini golf and rock climbing. They were gone for hours. Stories of Buby's awesomeness are still trickling in, but I'll tell ya he was fearlessly hitting balls at 50+ miles per hour next to some 7 year old the same size. I wish I was there to see it.







Buby filled in a hole courtesy of Jazzy. He can't stand to see her dig in his garden, and when she does he runs to the nearest shovel and fills it in.







After dinner I took the kids on a bicycle ride around the village. We were gone 45 minutes, and I was proud of myself for pulling 80+ pounds behind me. Truth be told, bicycling feels amazing to me. All the time. Preggers or not. I love my bike.







And despite their sad mugs while waiting for me, they very much relished the ride. Several times I turned back and saw Buby holding Bleu's hand or kissing her cheek. He's such the big brother. Bleu just giggled.


The kids asked if when the new baby arrives they can lay him across their laps in the trolley. I told Buby next summer he'd be riding alongside me like his Daddy. Cool to think.


Before heading up to bed Bleu and I hopped on the swings for a bit to watch Buby play a game of backyard soccer with our adorable neighbor Allison. She's three whole years older, but they still invite each other to play. Tonight, though, it occurred to me that someday she could be that super cool older chick next door... the one who steals Buby's first kiss in the 3rd grade. Eeks.
