December Fun

Well, you would think that a post entitled "December Fun" would somehow involve SNOW or some other winter activity here in Iowa.  Nope.  We have not seen a snowflake yet!  And yes, I realize that I probably just jinxed it.

J got a "brand new bicycle" (he really does call it that-- he never calls it a "bike."  Always a "bicycle") from Grandpa and Meema Wissink, and Adam put it together for him last weekend.  He sat on it for awhile in the living room, and then after a few days Mommy got sick of it taking up valuable living room space.  So we hung it up in the garage, thinking we'd get it back out in the spring.

Well, Iowa weather is weird.  We were not anticipating 60 degree temps the past few days!  So yesterday after we went for a walk, J saw his bicycle hanging in the garage and just begged and begged to get it out!

He thinks he's pretty big stuff on his Big Boy Bicycle!

He can't pedal it.  Seriously!  For some reason all he does is try to pedal backwards, which is the brakes!  So he only goes anywhere if we push him, and even then with some momentum he can't pedal it!  Yet.  We'll try it again in the spring. :)

So then he was frustrated and wanted to get his old bicycle out!

It's so fun to try to run Mommy over!

Now that, he knows how to pedal!  Fast!  Especially when going down the driveway!

It started to get dark, so we had to head inside.  This is how J felt about that!

Sure wish this nice weather would stick around longer!  It actually is still nice today and will be again tomorrow, but then I think it's supposed to cool down again.  Hopefully our outside lovin' boy will get some more play time in the next couple days before it cools down.  Still no snow in sight!  Sad for Adam, he is dying to get his new snowblower going!
