Biker Dudes

I was planning to get trikes for the boys for Christmas, but then one day my mom called me at work and said she was standing in a thrift shop near two trikes for sale at $3.50 each, should she get them? "Of course!" I said. Now I'll get them an Elmo doll instead and maybe a play kitchen.

Lm likes to wear Grandpa's cap...

Lk on his trike, he rides it all over the house at high speed, and through Grandma's house, around the table, down hallways at full throttle. He doesn't seem to care if he runs over our toes either...

People often say Lk is "all boy." He and his brother both are fascinated by cars and wheels, diving off the couch, and roaring like lions. Here's Lk hammering away.

My little bird on his "new" trike...

I remember when I was pregnant and I found out for sure I was having two boys. Shortly afterward I was in the local grocery store to pick up a few items and two boys around the age of 4 flew past me running down the aisles and creating a little havoc. What with the hormonal changes and all, I started crying because I could see my future right there. I never thought I would have the constitution to raise two boys as I've always been more of a sensitive, feminine type. In short, if people were cars, I would be a VW bug trying to raise two Hummers.

Now of course I love it, and my guys are so loyal to their mom. They obey me most of the time when I tell them to do stuff. Lk will even pick up all his books at the end of the night and put them away without me having to tell him, isn't that sweet? I sure love being their mom.
