A new ride....

Earlier this week, I found out what I was getting for mothers day.. BK had cooked up a good plan & RAR spilled the beans. It would've been still somewhat of a surprise, except I asked about it. RAR had told me a few things were coming my way - a drum (with drumsticks), a dinosaur, and a bike.... well, guess which I got? That's right, a bike... BK had done some research (and you know how BK always researches things before they are purchased in our household) and so the plan went that they were going to take me straight to the bike shop & let me pick out my bike.

However, since RAR had said "a bike" earlier in the week, I had been tipped off. So I asked BK "am I getting a bike?" and he said "why do you have to ruin it?" So Sat am, we planned to head on over after nap.. however, we didnt realize the store closed at 4, not 5, so we whip up, and there is a big CLOSED Sign. All H breaks loose in the back seat as RAR melts down "I WANTED TO GO TO THE BIKE SHOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP" this goes on for awhile.. there is no calming her down. So we divert over the library where we need to sit into the car until we can calm down...

Fast forward to Sunday am... I sleep in, then get a yummy breakfast, a shower and am ready to start the day. After RMR wakes up from her am nap, we head over to the bike shop - BK shows me the ones he looked at (one had already been sold) and I find one I like - take it outside the store & zip up & down the street. Thats the one! so we also get a helmet for me & one for RAR (As she has been wearing BK's when she rides her trike). We decide I should prob ride home since the bike wont fit into the back of the car (it probably wouldve fit, but still) so the family heads home & off I go. I was really enjoying zipping through the streets of Qtown..

Went on a few more rides thru the hood today and had a great dinner (ribs on the grill). All in all, a really fab day. BK & my girls made it so special. I did miss being w/my mom - everyone was at my cousins for dinner, but I couldnt have asked for a better day. It's days like this when you sit back & say a little prayer b/c I don't know if it gets any better than this.
