Bike Repairs...

This is what the back tire of Ben's bike looks like after a mere 36 days...  yep, it's popped...  pretty impressive!  Ben is very worried but we have assured him that we will fix it tonight...

After snapping the picture of Ben's bike, we headed to school to share our praying mantis!  The boys were very excited and all of the kids got to see it.  (I am told that our little friend had quite an eventful morning and may be a little traumatized after being handled by a couple dozen preschoolers!)  When we made our way home after school, we decided to let the mantis go.  Both boys agreed it was the best thing so he could go find all of his friends because they probably missed him!

















After nap, the boys and I made some Cars cookies to take our minds off the fact that we couldn't use our bikes...  it worked surprisingly well!


And after a quick trip to the WalMart (in which Ben fell and knocked his head on the floor pretty much as soon as we got there...)  the guys fixed Ben's bike!  (After we iced Ben's head, of course, which got me thinking that we really need to keep some kind of ice pack in our vehicle at all times...)  Anyway, thank goodness the bike is now fixed and we can carry on as normal!  Ben was overjoyed!  Hopefully this tire will last a little longer than 36 days...
