A day in the life of Jackson & Parker's mom: Teeth and Bike Time!!

Today was the busiest day I have had in a while. I am babysitting Uncle Keith for my mom a few days this week. Ahhh the joys of spring break. But in all seriousness, I am stoked!! I have a car for a few days this week and plan on being as busy as possible.

Today was early...for me at least. I was at the mall with the kids before it opened... that's pretty early for me to be functioning. Thank God for TIM HORTONS!! The kids were awesome for the most part through the first trip through walmart... I bought some junk..and a wicked helmet for Jackson. A trip upstairs to Go bananas for an hour or so... but not long, because the spring break, cloudy day mob of kids piled in there. And with Parker the monkey clinging to my side, I didn't want to go hunt for children through that darn jungle. So off we went back to Walmart. . Jackson finally cracked and had a melt down, and I became one of those people... the ones with the kid like 10 feet behind them wailing. And that was my cue to quit while I was ahead.

Back home by noon.... really...only noon?? The afternoon went by pretty smoothly. Parker crashed out after the exciting morning, the boys ate chicken noodle soup for lunch and cuddled up on the couch and watched cartoons. Jackson told Keith the like spending time with him.. it was very cute. The Car and The Uncle were gone by 3:30

We tidied up and did some laundry just before Cody got home. Then Jack and I were off again, this time to try out his new helmet!! It has aliens on it, and little led lights that blink... He said it was like Franklin's. After 6 months of tring to get him to try on helmets! I win!! yay!!

I wish he would have let us try a helmet on earlier.. he did so well!! It was his first time really riding his bike and the first time riding on the road(cause he wouldn't wear a helmet). After a few pushes he knew what to do, and I jogged next to him. If only it didn't have the pedal brake he would be totally crusin.
