Bicycles for Easter

I think I'll put first aid kits in the kiddos Easter Baskets this year.  Nestled right next to a giant box of band aids.

Why?

Because the Easter Bunny is bringing them new bicycles.

I'm ashamed to admit this, but JT has never had a bicycle.  I know, it's horrible!  At least Patty received a tricycle for her second birthday.  My poor kids.  That should tell you how much time we spend outside. 

Well, that wrong will be righted in a little more than a week and my nerves will most certainly be shattered.  Now I just have to sneak to Walmart for helmets and all the other edible goodies to fill their baskets. 

I did learn a few important things this morning, though.  First, never start shopping for something for the kids when they are home.  It's like they have radar telling them "mom's looking at toys!".  Second, I don't  know my kids as well as I thought.  And third, there seems to be absolutely no rhyme or reason for the pricing of kids bicycles.

I was all set to order a Toy Story bike for JT this morning when he woke up and found me at the computer.  He very quickly informed me that he did not like Toy Story anymore.  So glad I didn't buy that Toy Story bedding for the bed he won't sleep in!  He picked out a bike with brakes, he could see the wire in the picture.  And that's the only thing he was concerned about.  Not really the color, just the breaks.  Boys!  Go figure.

Patty got in on the action too, and fell head over heals for the blue Cinderella bike.  I had been eyeing a pink Barbie one for her.  She loves most things Barbie and really hasn't gotten into Cinderella so I am very surprised at her choice.

Let's hope they haven't changed their minds by Easter morning!
