Bike riding....

Today the boys rose heir bikes to school today for the first time. We did a practice run yesterday and thank goodness we did. Ole man skinner had parked a tractor disk across his bridge so no one could cross.  We had to cut a few planks and make a make-shift bridge so it all worked out.  Stratton cried and cried cuz the mosquitoes kept getting him. They got to school ok but on the way home Stratton's chain broke twice... And the pesky mosquitoes got him again. He cried and said he's never riding to school again.  I had waited for them at the bridge just to make sure they made it and Dax informed me "you don't have to check on us mom". He is growing up on me.  

Today Elle told Doo-Doo dhe had a secret that she couldn't tell me. "She's going to find a golden ticket and go to candyland". Apparently she thinks Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a real place.
