Warm Weather, Spaghetti and Big Ouchies

Weather in St. Louis can many times be unpredictable.  Last week the temperatures were below 10 and the ground was covered with snow and ice for miles across and down.  This week, the temperatures slowly climb from the 30's 50's and today we hit the mid 70's.  Seriously?  Are we once again being teased by this beautiful weather? 

I don't care what it was, I was enjoying as much as I could.  Well, as much as a mother with tons of housework and a day off can.  I had the shades pulled, windows opened and I was airing this house out.  Now, not that our house has issues, I just love the first time you can open those windows and feel the fresh air, don't you? 

I did 4 loads of laundry, swept and mopped the floors and cleaned the bathrooms.  I felt pretty good about my day.  When Grace came off the bus I was ready to take her bike riding.  Let's enjoy this weather together!  She was excited too! 

Doug decided he would take her out while I finished up dinner.  I honestly didn't mind.  I was out for a bit today and really just wanted Grace to enjoy the weather.  I continued on the cooking of one of Doug's favorite meals, Spaghetti. 

  She was set and ready to go.  Helmet on and smile glowing as always!

First daddy has to pump up the tires.  She is taking the new big bike out. 

Yes, we had a bit of an accident.  The tears and blood are all gone.  It was my sweet girls first big crash.  She ran into a curb. 

A few little scraps up here too mom.  Are we going back out tomorrow?  You bet!!  You have to get right back on that bike!
