Haircut & a new bike!

Saturday was a special day - I told Mike he could sleep in for once while I got up with the kids. I cleaned, showered, and decided to go to Best Buy because there was a coupon for a couple of CDs I wanted. (Am I the only person left in the world who still likes CDs?) I went back to the computer and OF COURSE had trouble with the printer. I got all in a huff because I was trying to keep Hudson quiet and trying to print out the darn coupon. Well, it didn't work, so I was like, FORGET IT! I took Hudson out of the room and noticed again how long his hair was getting. I grabbed my scissors and went for it. Wellll, let's just say it didn't work out so well. The back looked okay, but the front? Notsomuch. I text Stacie for help and she said to bring him over. :) She fixed him up real nice and he looks much better! Thanks Stacie!



--------------------------

For Maddy's birthday (which I haven't even blogged about - EEK!), Mike and I got her a bike. A ghetto one from WalMart that Mike picked out. Like, g-h-e-t-t-o. Well, Maddy loved it. But it took about five seconds of her 'riding' it in the house before we realized the chain guard was cracked and somehow was blocking the chain so the wheels couldn't move. (Nice pick there, Mikey.) ;) He also got her a helmet that *GASP* was too small! So she's been waiting and waiting for us to get our act together and exchange her bike. We finally did that on Saturday (after the haircut incident), and we found the perfect bike! Well, Maddy found it. I wanted to get her a bigger one, but she was set on this teensy tiny Barbie bike along with a bigger helmet. As soon as we got home, she went to town on that thing. After much practicing, I went inside to take a nap (luxury!) and the kids stayed out and played.

The Hud running around like a crazy person


Go Maddy, go!!




She was so proud of herself. Love her!

This afternoon, the weather was amazing! We all went outside to play and ended up taking a walk - me pushing The Hud in the stroller, and Maddy riding her bike! So awesome!

First off, Hudson is a MINI MIKE! Just now it popped out at me! Second, I can't believe Maddy is FOUR. Third, who wouldn't dig that bike with a bell, streamers AND a basket? I mean, c'mon! Lastly, what's a nap and how did you swing that on a Saturday??? Impressive.

Danielle, you have inspired me to be a better blogger and photographer. I wouldn't have any pictures documenting the fun things we do, if it wasn't for you! Love the pictures of Hud and his haircut. I am there when you need me ;)
