Scooter Time

It has gotten a lot cooler here in Indiana the past few days. I wanted to get rid of the 90+ degree weather we've been having, but man, I would really like some 70 degree weather before going straight to the rainy 50-60 degree temps...

The kids are both still really fighting colds, but we were in need of some fresh air so we headed outside to try out Avery's new scooter. On a trip to Toys R Us this past weekend to kind of scope out possible gifts for our soon-to-be 3-yr-old (19 days away now!) Avery fell in love with a scooter. Since it was majorly on sale and we had rewards and a birthday coupon, we couldn't pass it up right on the spot (we're talking 13 bucks, dirt cheap!). Avery couldn't wait to help daddy put it together and then begged me the moment she got up this morning to go outside to ride her scooter:)

Such a happy girl to be outside on her scooter!

I think her favorite thing about this scooter is that it's pink, second favorite thing, it has a bag on the front! She was putting all kinds of things in that little bag!!

My big, handsome man! We got Spencer some new gym shoes over the weekend and had to get him a size 7!! Avery's in a size 8, so they're only one shoe size apart now. I cannot believe how much he's growing. We also got him a very short haircut this weekend, which I think makes him look so much older!

The kiddos trying to ride together...Spencer just doesn't quite get pedals (neither does Avery, really). We're really looking into those balance bikes for next spring when Spencer is 2 (Nickey, your girls make them look so fun and after doing lots of research on them, I think they would be really good for my kids!).

Resting a bit. We were running around playing "soccer"-one of Avery's absolute favorite things and I guess she got a little tired:) Spencer was sitting but as soon as I break out the camera, he runs towards it shouting "cheese"!!


Hope everyone's enjoying the cooler weather (in most places!).

That scooter is great. Josie has been asking for one for a while now...maybe for the holidays. Spencer looks so grown up with his new haircut. I can't believe how fast they grow.

Sounds like fun! Yeah- Dylan's not the biggest fan of the pedals either!
