It Took a Village

This will be my last Sacramento "catch-up" post...then on to some DC pics, I promise!  I just wanted to give a shout out to everyone who helped me out the week before we left (when Steve was already in DC).  I was truly blessed by all of the amazing family and friends who watched my kids or helped me with cleaning and packing.  At times, the generosity of my "village" literally moved me to tears.  So, thank you.  You know who you are.  I love you so much.  I never would have finished everything without you.   

One of the only nights that I didn't have someone watching my kids that week, I took the boys out for a bike ride around our block to kill some time in the evening.  What ensued was rather hilarious so I thought I'd post these pictures.  Steve - see what happens when you leave me home alone with the boys?

It started off as a nice bike ride around the block.  Suddenly, our neighbor started to wash her car.  The boys couldn't resist the water that was quickly filling up the gutter.  They hopped off their bikes and into the gutter. 

Whee!!  This is so fun! 

Note: shoes are off, but helmets are still on. 

The bike ride somehow became a Crocs "boat" race. 

Really good times.
