WiR: July 20

Monday 7/20/2009:   The kids got new bikes.  Little Man a 16″ Lightning McQueen Bike and Baby Girl a 12″ girls bike.  The other red bike we had decided the pedals wanted to come out.  The bikes were put together and the kid tested their new bikes with several block laps.

Tuesday 7/21/2009: I went to Monticello for a funeral in the morning, but I decided to bring my bike and go for a ride around town with my sister.  We rode about 6 miles before someone had to go home to pee!  LOL!!  We also did more block laps with the bikes.

Wednesday 7/22/2009:  After dinner, the kids rode their bikes to the park and I walked.  We had a pretty good game of tag too.

Thursday 7/23/2009: I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to ride (it was kind of foggy) so I did Wii Yoga.  All the poses except Dancer & Cobra.  It wasn’t so foggy at 6:30, so we rode the bike to school anyway and block laps.

Friday 7/24/2009: Fun Run day!!  We walked to the school and I ran with Baby Girl for her lap.  We did it in 3 minutes!!  Not bad considering I was holding her hand for 95% of the time.

Saturday 7/25/2009: We went to the park and the kids rode two laps on the trail.  Hubby and I walked.  Each lap is half a mile, so the kids rode 1 mile on their bikes!

The toy

Here it is!  My bike rack on the van with the bike on it.  I had it ready to go when I visited my Dad’s house, but we ended up not riding. 

WiR: July 13

I tend to not ride the kids to school on the bike on Monday’s.  I let them sleep in a bit (well, wake them at 7:00) Monday mornings.  I’m not that concerned about Baby Girl, she somewhat naps at daycare, but Little Man doesn’t and he can be sooo grumpy in the evening and downright mean when he doesn’t sleep enough.  When I do ride in the mornings, I start waking the kids up around 6:30 so that they can eat breakfast if they don’t like the breakfast offered at daycare.

I think on the days that I don’t ride the bike to daycare, I’ll do a DVD.

Tuesday:  Bike ride to school.  There were a couple of inconsiderate driver’s and I don’t care to rehash that now, but if you care to read, here you go.  We also did 4 block laps (0.15 miles around) for 0.60 miles.  C rode the bike for 2 laps and K for 2 laps

Wednesday:  did 100 crunches (25 each of double, left  side, right side and regular) and 5 pilates roll-ups.  After dinner we played outside and did 5 block laps for 0.75 miles.  K rode the bike for 3 of them and C for 2 of them.

Thursday:  bike ride to school, uneventful.    4 block laps that evening.

Friday:  Kids Run for fun.  We ended up driving, but I did end up jogging the lap with Baby Girl hanging on to my finger!

WiR: July 5th

Sunday:  Bike ride to the Library.  OMG, I thought I was going to die.  Lots of hills and with the kids.  Hubby came with us and we switched bikes for a bit.  Total round trip was not quite 11.5 miles.

Monday:  Day of rest.  I needed it, but I felt incredibly guilty for not riding the bike when I took the kids to school or went to Meijer.

Tuesday & Thursday:  Dropped the kids off via bike today.  The bike portion of the trip was about 22 minutes.

Sunday the 12:  We went back to Moraine View State Park for some swimming at the beach (building castles) and a bike ride around the park.  We ended up going straight through and it was pretty nice.  Very hilly…

WiR: June 29

Monday:  A bike ride to CW park

Tuesday:  Bike ride to drop the kids off.

Wednesday:  100 crunches!  25 regular, 25 left side, 25 right side, 25 double crunches.

Thursday:  Bike ride to drop the kids off.  We also took a bike ride to the park that we pass on the way to drop the kids off, SP.

Friday:  Bike ride to the hair Salon, just past daycare and on the way home we stopped at SP.  C didn’t get to play on everything last night.
