The morning after...

The kids were so excited to go with their Dad to the Zoo yesterday. When they got home, Mariah cried herself to sleep because she didn't want her dad to go. Then this morning, all the kids wanted to play with their new things. Mariah actually got a helmet with her new bike, so she was good to go. Mikayla had her Cinderella outfit on for a while this morning until she felt the top was too itchy. But those slippers are not leaving her feet. Alex, on the other hand, has not been able to take his skateboard out to have fun with it yet. His Dad said he couldn't find any boy helmets, so we looked around and found his bike helmet and he can use that. But I think I have convinced him that he doesn't want to ride until he has pads as well. He took it intothe kitchen and tried riding it and fell off onto the tile floor. It HURT! So now he won't ride till we get him some "good pads". We'll just have to see how it goes.
