Don't You Want One Because I Do...

I have been coveting this bike for the last few months!! What an awesome way to make a quick trip to the grocery store, the park or even to pick up Kate from school. So environmentally friendly and so darn cute! The best of all worlds. That was until Madsen Cycles started a giveaway for one of these awesome bikes. Nothing could be better.

And if you aren't into toting your kids around, Madsen Cycle also offers these rockin' version...

Last Week of Summer - The First Time

Well, for the first time, this is our last official week of summer before Kate starts kindergarten. It is so hard to believe that she will be in elementary school. Where in the world did the time go. Not 4.5 years ago, she was sitting under billy lights in the NICU and now she is going to school.

She is super excited and I am apprehensive and a little scared. Scared that she won't succeed, that she will talk back to her teacher, that she won't love or even like school like I did, and that her shy self will take over and make it hard for her to make friends. Man, she is a lot like me. Why, oh why, does my child have to be shy? I pray that she grows out of her shyness and that school is a great experience and that my apprehension doesn't affect her.

So for our last week, I am trying to pack it in - 1) because school starts next week and 2) because Alan is traveling all week in Colorado. So, we are going to the pool (went today and probably tomorrow since it is quite hot here), going to the park, having friends over, and taking a trip to the Discovery Museum in Sausalito with friends. Also on Friday, we finally get Kate's class assignment with a ice cream social to follow at her school and then probably the park by her school to follow.
