let's talk about our day.

so while this is far from being a true DITL post, it does hit the highlights. it's been a long time since a good picture laden post. you've hung in there with me. i think you deserve it.

today started with a trip to target. what started as an impromptu errand run for toilet bowl cleaner, turned into us buying canon a bicycle. !!! i tossed the idea back and forth about getting him one now while i know i have the extra money for it, or making him wait till christmas, and decided to just do it now. i feel so bad for him everytime the other boys on the street are riding his bikes and he is stuck with the little tricycle he's had since he was two. so now he has a big boy bike, in all it's Lightening McQueen glory.


oh! funny little side note: after target, we went out to eat at Louie's and C saw these posters and said, "see. you have to be black to do that. the white one isn't doing it. the black man is cause you have to be black to do that." omg. it was so funny. the way the four year old mind works things out.......anyway....

of course we had to get home and put the thing together


and take it out for a spin. canon rode it all the way to the playground at the back of the neighborhood and had lots of room to ride it around since there are only a couple of half built houses over there and thus no traffic driving through.


we played for less than an hour before deciding it was hot and we were thirsty, so we headed back to the house and decided to have some indoor fun and do an alphabet craft. little ones weilding scissors- look out!


glueing on teeth


A if for Alligator!


and then it was back to business as usual since dinner wasn't going to cook itself and i had three days worth of chicken to tend to. so what's a flying solo mom of 3 to do? take the youngest one and throw him on your back, apron on the front, and looks sassy doing it. that's how i roll.


just ignore those water marks on the mirror though, because i never did manage to roll into the bathroom and actually clean it.
