I didn’t realize until I sat down to do this blog that I didn’t take any Brendan pictures today. We had so much to do today, I didn’t think about the camera.

I only snapped some pictures of Trevor’s astounding bed-head this morning. I couldn’t decide which pictures were the cutest so I just posted them all.

The boys had a simple day, we did a lot of chores and projects. I took Trevor on a long bike ride at night to see if anyone spent black friday putting up lights. At least 3 houses on every block had something up, and Trevor was very excited. The weather was perfect for riding.

The trouble with having a slow day and trying to take it easy is that the boys get much more well rested than we do. They were recharged and ready to GO!! We have a nurse out on leave now and no replacement in sight yet, so I was on my own with them a good part of the day.

Crazies

We spread and sorted toys, it is a go-to activity for me because it always needs to get done and it helps keep them busy

Giving his brother a little kiss

So cute!

I like to sit in a chair like this too

With the lowering kits installed, we were ready to take the new bikes for a spin this afternoon!

They aren’t ready to go very fast, but Trevor is trying out the knee and elbow pads that Gramma got him. They fit nice! He calls them his knee helmets. I know he is going to need these!

Gramma also got baskets and bells for the bikes. Brendan loves the flick-style bell with the compass.

Don’t laugh at Brendan’s outfit! We were headed outside and it was cool, so we grabbed the first soft pants we saw. They don’t match at all!

Trevor learned how to blow dandelion seeds all over the yard 🙂

Trevor is learning really fast how to balance and walk with his bike. I was impressed!

I haven’t put the decals on the bikes yet. The baskets came with a big circle one to put on the front, I think I need to make a custom sticker instead!

We meant to have a day of doing a whole lot of nothing and that is pretty much how it went! Other than tending to the crazies, we were pretty lazy. I made some nice turkey lettuce wraps with leftovers, the boys stayed in pajamas most of the day, watched the parade, and played iGuy.
I am thankful for days that are simple. (as simple as possible around here anyway)

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving day. We are thinking of Gramma and hoping she starts to feel better soon.

Here is something from the boys. I couldn’t find the good paint, but this will do! Happy Thanksgiving!
