Buggy Ride With Mom

Miller and I went for a bike ride this morning. Let's just say that this old lady is out of shape. My butt bones hurt from my seat, my legs are tired, and my arms are feeling weird. Oh well, hopefully it means I worked something and this pretend diet/life style change is going to work. Ryan will say that at the pace I was riding, it's going to take me years because I was pretty slow.

I am abandoning the boys this afternoon for lunch with the girls and then going to see New Moon. It should be fun but I feel bad leaving them this afternoon. Tonight/tomorrow I have to burn the midnight oil and get some work done. We had the nice Friday afternoon "you gotta get this done" speech and the timeline requires weekend work to do it. Yuck!

Buggy and Hat

Ryan has been taking Miller for bike rides everynight this week. We have a "pull behind the bike" thing for Miller and me and now Ryan has a seat on the back of his bike. At DC, they have a giant red race car thing that holds up to six kids. They use this to take the kids outside and on walks with. They call it a buggy and Miller loves it.

We are good parents and make Miller wear a helmet. He calls it a hat. So, this morning he wakes up and starts wanting to wear his hat. Ok...

All he wanted to do was wear his hat and go for a buggy ride. From that adorable muffin covered boy came a full blown meltdown when we told him he couldn't go for a buggy ride before school this morning. I can certainly see some battles ahead because he is very strong willed (hmmm...strong will = Erin, stubborn = Ryan).

Congratulations to Dr. Froyd!

Congratulations to Sean in becoming the first Dr. Froyd of the family. He did a great job and I am proud of him. Disertation defended, announced as a Dr. and I believe a bottle of Mead was opened in his honor.

Now...about 20+ years from now I may have to give him a run for his money and become the second Dr. Froyd...

Early Presents for Miller and Me

Last night, Miller got not one, but two new play sets for outside! He has a house and a tower with a slide. We played outside for over half an hour last night and today I think he's put in close to two hours already. I will post picutes later tonight.

As for me, I got a new laptop! Ryan surprised me with a new HP for my birthday. He couldn't wait to give it to me (a month early for my birthday). What a great surprise. It's sweet but a lot of new settings for me to figure out and customize. It has Windows 7 on it. I hope W7 is much more successful than Vista. :)

With all the new things to play with in the house, who has time for chores?
