Groovin'

We've been groovin' with the weather - not hot, not cold most days = lots of tractor time and bike time! Carter got a new bike for Christmas and due to a few falls had refused to ride it, until we started talking about getting rid of it and THEN he was in. He still doesn't love to ride in our sloped driveway but loves to ride around the pond and the little brother keeps up pretty well which means I can actually get some exercise with them this year - maybe not for a long or super intense but some exercise none the less (running to keep up with Carter around the pond this evening to catch up to Sean and Lincoln was totally good exercise tonight). Lincoln seems to think his blanket or "baby" likes to bike ride too - so baby often ends up in a backpack (or pack-pack as he says) to go on our rides which is preferable to how he was trying to sit on it and ride.

Lincoln has become a pill the last few weeks, he's totally 2.5, I guess, working on 3 (let us all hope that 3 doesn't last the entire year like it did with Carter) or you all better be praying for my mental health. Lets just say that today I would have paid good money to send Lincoln to school and keep Carter home with me - and I think the plants would have to agree after Lincoln tortured them in the planters.

Oh well, they bring me laughs too right - like yesterday when Carter told me that Lincoln kicked him in the fore-noggin' (he was 100% serious not trying to be cute at all) but it was very cute. And tonight I thought I'd be cute and draw a MOM tattoo on Lincoln's arm - Sean said this was a bad idea because he'd color himself and he was right (I can say that because he doesn't read this blog) anyway, Lincoln went to town and I told him to tell Sean he was Jesse James which he did and at least I had a very good laugh.

The boys are missing Iowa these days, Lincoln begged to go to Papa Work all day long today - they will get a dose of Iowa in the form of a visit from Lindsay and Cael next week and they couldn't be more excited to see them!
