Just Make Me Laugh

A couple of weeks ago, the boys rode their bikes well beyond the distance they can ride without an adult. When they returned, we grounded them from their bikes for one week. When they woke up the next morning, they found all the bikes locked up together with a bike lock, ensuring they could not be used. Instead of being upset, they thought it was so funny, that they proceeded to show everyone in the neighborhood and everyone who came over how they were grounded from their bikes!

Tonight, we decided to let the boys watch the "old" version of The Karate Kid. They were enthralled with it. O stood up after a while and took a bow to all of us, giving us all a good laugh. There was plenty of "karate" going on as well. I may come to regret this decision.

Yesterday, we lost K for a couple of minutes. I hadn't quite gotten to the panic state yet, when we found her upstairs with the door shut sitting in a chair at the table with a pen in her hand looking very pleased with herself. Really, is she getting so independent.

Sometimes I forget to write down the simple little things that happen in a day that just make me smile. These will be a reminder for me and a chance to smile again as I think back to these moments!
