First off, we have been having terrible weather here, cold, really rainy and some days I feel like I’m back in Washington! Anyway, we had to take a couple pictures of the bike trail, which is completely underwater and blocked by debris. The kids have fun throwing rocks in the water and playing Pooh sticks (dropping sticks and having them race to the other side to see which comes out first). We have been riding bikes a lot lately since Ainsley got her new bike, a bike built for two (she asked if she could go in the mud!):
Reggie is continuing to do really well in t-ball and I feel like I am watching someone else’s kid. He actually wants to learn to catch and the first thing he said tonight was, “I only dropped one fly ball!” It is fun to see his hand/eye coordination starting to click. He is definitely the coaches pet (although he has no idea). He got to be the first one to pick his jersey number, play pitcher in the first game and be the home run hitter twice. The coach gave him the gameball, which has been a prized possession that he has taken everywhere. Here he is in his Yankee uniform (which we couldn’t get him out of for 3 straight days!).
Ainsley has been hanging out with me during all this baseball time and we do all kinds of fun things like make spaghetti at the playground out of bark and various other things, play tag and grocery shop (I forgot the camera again!). She gets a free cookie and is very excited about that. We stopped by the deli to get some turkey and they gave her a slice of cheese, so snack time was taken care of :o). It is like a switch has gone on and she wants to help me do everything…I caught her and Reggie folding clothes and it was too funny not to share:
Pump It Up:
The kids didn’t have school on Monday, so we headed to Pump It Up and had a blast. It had only been open for about 2 months, so all the jumpers were new and you could really tell. The slide was lightning fast and thank goodness for the bumper at the bottom or we would have been in real trouble. They also had a new jousting area that was super bouncy like a trampoline. My back was feeling great and I was bouncing all over the place with the kids :o). It was a really fun day and reminded me of the freedom of having no school. I took lots of pictures, but most of them are blurry. I did get one of Ainsley eating a fruit roll on the way. Libby brought them in the car and she had never eaten one and didn’t quite get the concept of taking it off the plastic. She was a mess when we got there and had managed to eat some plastic, yum, yum!!!

Tuesdays:
We are taking a little break from one of our playgroup on Tues., so that Reggie and I can have a little one on one time and we’ve done some fun things so far. We partially built a robot puzzle one week, last week we went bowling and rescued his stray baseball that he hit across the street by the bike trail and this week we rode his bike to Pleasanton and did a little of the dirt track that had thankfully dried out. I was surprised he went over so many of the hills because I did and was getting a little nervous, although it didn’t help that my pedals kept getting caught on dirt peaks. Anyway, it should be a fun, adventure filled spring :o).
