Outside Time

Today was very busy for all of us. This morning we had Parker and Kevin's birthday party at Out of This World. It was a fun party and very large... about 40 kids. Kristin and Kellen both had fun playing on the different play structures. And this time, neither kid got hurt! A magician showed up at the end of the party and Kristin had a blast watching that. He did a really good job. Aaron and Kellen left as the magic show started to get Kellen home for a nap. Kristin and I stayed a little longer and then too headed home.

While Kellen was napping Kristin helped me plant some radishes in the garden, Aaron got the car seat for Kellen switched in the car, and we put together Kristin's new bike. Kristin wanted to take a ride on the bike without the training wheels, so Aaron got her all suited up with padding and she attempted it but quickly found how hard it was for her to keep the bike upright. ;) Needless to say the training wheels went on. Maybe we will try later in the year once she has had some practice on this bike. When Kellen got up he came outside to play with Kristin. Aaron headed out to run an errand and the kids and I headed towards the back yard (much easier to contain them!). After a little while we headed in for dinner. After dinner the kids and I took a quick walk around the block to get a little more time outside. Aaron has a hockey game as I write this, so he left around bathtime. Whew, I am tired, and the kids both seemed to fall asleep quickly tonight. :)
