After our breakfast guest went home we got ready for our Ikea adventure. Kaylee didn't have school today (teacher in service day) so we got to do some far away shopping.

 

Aimee (Aunt Emily's sis) made these AWESOME tie dyed clothes for the children I was so excited for Kaylee to wear her hearts tie dye on Valentines day! She LOVED it.

 

My hot lunch date. Kaylee: "Dont' forget my vegetable Mom!" And Regan NEEDED his smoothie. Love those two veggie lovers of  mine.

We were at Ikea for over two hours! They insisted on checking everything out. They literally laid on every bed, and sat on every sittable item,  Regan found a lost/abandoned tape measure and NEEDED to measure everything to make sure it would fit. (Fit where it already was on display.)

A random lady walking past us stopped to comment on Kaylee's hair and how much she loved it. Her husband then commented (to tease his wife) how much he liked Regan's hair do.  She pointed out Kaylee's hearts. He agreed that the hearts were neat.

Jon ordered pizza that we picked up on our way home. Regan after dinner (sauce face!) came to me and asked me to make his hair pretty for valentines day. He had a piece of heart ribbon to tie in his hair. He and Kaylee were dying with giggle fits over Regan's pretty hair. He just couldn't be left out of the festive hair do's!

Oh man! Kids are the best!

We were going to go to the Science Center, but that didn't pan out. So because the children were looking forward to an outing we did bikes and a picnic at the park.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Six kiddos riding bike and only one injury. Not too shabby.

 

 

 

 

Regan when home and passed out. Still recovering from his horrid weekend of spewing bodily fluids. A few hours of hard playing wiped his limited reserves. He napped when we got home.

 

Regan passed out at the dinner table later that evening and didn't get up until 9 the next morning. We carried him to bed, but didn't change him. The thought was that he would wake up shortly and then we would change him. He happily wore this outfit two days in a row.

I've been eyeing these for over a year. Jon finally convinced me to buy them Best.Decision.EVER! This was the best family bike ride ever. Last time we went around the block Regan was DONE half way and we all had to endure his "I can't do this." "I need help. "I'm too little." And he had to listen to a string of repeated encouragements from the three of us.

This was infinitely better. All smiles, no tears of frustration from newbies. This is what a family bike ride should be.
