Friday in Ft Lauderdale

Today was another beautiful day in S Florida - a little chilly this morning, but by afternoon it was lovely. We picked up Sudi & Howard and had lunch at Bru's - we didn't eat outside though...it was too cold! Then we took a road trip to Coconut Creek to the DSW for shoes. Sudi found a pair and I was able to find some slippers for home (warm ones!) On the way back we stopped at K-Mart to look for a 12" bike for Danny and we got lucky. They had several to choose from. Since DB likes green so well, we got him a green one. We took it over to Jami's where Dave put it together. It said "easily assembled" and it truly was...I think it took Dave about 20 minutes and it was fully assembled! When we picked Danny up at school and brought him home, he saw his bike and the smile didn't leave his face for at least 2 hours. We got him on the bike and taught him how to pedal and he was off! He kept yelling, "Kelly, I'm riding a big boy bike!" Jami's housekeeper brought the girls home after school and with her 4 children, we had 7 kids out in the street riding bicycles, trikes, or scooters! Her little one was content to ride a little push truck. It was pretty neat - we just sat in our lawn chairs and watched them. Tom and Jami neither one got home before dark and Danny's afraid of the dark, so he got to ride his bike in the living room to show his mommy & daddy his big boy bike! Megan took her dad outside to show him how she could ride - even in the dark! Megan also lost a tooth somewhere in Nicole's van. She's had a really big week!

Tomorrow we've got the kids all day. We have to take Megan to ballet at 9:30 and then about 11:00 we'll have all 3 kids until Tom gets home from a wedding reception which starts at 5:00 or Jami gets home from inventory in Boca. We're going to be tired tomorrow night!!
