Look! Kids, its called grass!

Well the week is winding down and I am looking forward to the weekend. I like my half days on Fridays. That little bit of extra time for me seems like such a bonus for my weekend. I am such a lounger. I could do weekends all the time. I love being home and just chilling, curled up on the couch with my husband having movie marathons or being able to cook those nice heartwarming meals that are so neglected during the week.

It seems harder and harder these days to get my kids outdoors. I dont know if it is the constant electronic in there face or the gloomy weather we have had lately but I hope to change that soon. I noticed just last weekend when I went out to rake the backyard that I was accompanied by my entire family. They did not rake but we were all out there enjoying the beautiful day. Saturday was a gorgeous day, the sun was just warm enough to allow you to enjoy it. Of course I didn't get my legs tan at all. Ugh!

So... this weekend my plan is to get my brand new bike all set for me to ride, seat adjusted and tires inflated. Grab my kids and go for a ride. It has been forever since I have ridden a bike. I am excited about it. A little scared but I am sure once I get on that shiny blue bike with its silver fenders I will be happy as happy can be. My kids also got bikes and mine and my daughters match, my sons is red. We all have helmets. I want them to go farther than they have ever been allowed on there own. My legs may regret it after I get there but it will be well worth the time with my children outdoors. Look! Kids, it's called grass! It's not that bad, yet, but sometimes it seems like it.

Gotta go ... my son missed the bus
