I spent most of the day rejoicing in the fact that I am not going back to work until April 5th! Whoo hoo! I loved every minute of my lazy morning and having very little on my agenda to do. I made the girls whole wheat pancakes for breakfast and neither complained that they were different from the ones I used to make, I cleaned and organized, and I started a new chapter book with Madeline. It was nice.Kent went out later in the day to purchase some lumber for an outdoor table he is going to make this week, and he came home with some surprises for the girls. As a general rule, we don't buy our kids presents unless it is a really special occasion such as Christmas or a birthday, but I really wanted Madeline to have a new bike. So, we sat the girls down, explained how proud we were of their accomplishments: Madeline's efforts at school and with homework, and Sophie's success with potty training, and we surprised them with some rare gifts. Sophie got a new stuffed animal that she named Tinkerbell, and Madeline got a bike without training wheels.
The new bike came with excitement followed by some falls, frustration, and the breaking of a garage door sensor on Kent's side (sorry Daddy!), as well as some success. See for yourself:
