this little piggy went to prada

no, who am i kidding.... i went to bob's bikes.  you'll grow to know through our blog relationship, that i think is going very well- would you agree?,  that my little monkey doesn't let me leave the house without him  (my hubby thinks he is in fear i will sneak back to the hospital and pick up another baby, i can see why he would think that too.....he is only three with TWO baby brothers "i promise angel of mine, NO MORE!")  unless we can talk the hubby into it!  so, the babies were a nappn' and daddyo wasn't far off (last vacation day for him, sad but true, we will miss you daddyo- he spent his early half of the day pressure washing the house and patio from construction mud- thank you x 2!)  so me and my monkey head out to run around town when we fell into bob's bikes.  the monkey's fourth birthday is next week and he is DYING for a big boy bike.... so we made our way in to check them out!  he jumped on the beautiful YELLOW one, argh! that the nice lady sized him to, it had beautiful spiders, double argh! on it.  but the monkey wheeled around the store like he owned it so...... as i am known to do- after asking if they could possibly get it in another color and she ask "oh which color does he want" " i said, he is a boy mam, he doesn't care as long as it has wheels and steers" i did request an additional basket and he brought out a white one with large flowers and said will this work, i know its pink?  no sir, that will not work.  so i called my bike pro, much older and wiser bro.  1. to check on my mom's news  2.  to ask about the bike basket to hear him say "does he want a basket?  really amy, a basket on the front?  no, the monkey didn't ask for one, but see that is just him, he doesn't ask for ANYTHING much, except some juice....but i thought everyone needs something to tote rocks and sticks in, so we attached a water bottle holder to the front.  Perfect!

so we settled on a pretty blue and you can barely see the spiders, ha! they had to put it together so i waited and monkey cruised all over the store.  i did make a call to daddyo to see if he cared if i went ahead and let him get it-  he didn't answer the phone, coulda woulda shoulda-  we carried home a blue bike!  and the monkey was over the moon..... he was "the man" at the afternoon street party that afternoon and i couldn't be happier for him.  afterall, its not a christmas morning santa claus deal...its birthday- there are no rules when you get your gift, right?

the adorable little carrier incase the monkey finds some treasure!  and see you can hardly see the spiders- and i don't think he even knows they are there.... such a boy!!!
