Energetic little boys are tough to wear out. But I’ve been trying my best to tucker out the one I have. Hence, posting has been light lately.

Recently we did a “Seth’s Nirvana Day”. The day started with me cursing while trying to fit two bicycles into the back of my vehicle. That part wasn’t exactly fun but once situated we were on our way, as Seth played air guitar to a few while heading to McDonald’s. We took our lunch out to a park with a bike trail he’d yet to try.

BS (Before Seth), the hubs and I loved to go biking in various parks throughout the St. Louis area.  The bumpier the trail, the more fun we had. So when Seth started to get good at bike riding, the hubby introduced him to a few local trails. Seth loved the feeling of wind in his face and pedals beneath his feet.

But prior to a week ago, I hadn’t been on my bike in many, many years — as in before I was pregnant with Seth. I was a little worried but knew our little “date” would make for a happy boy.

So we tried out the new trail and explored some areas off the sandy path. Seth loved it. And I was suprised at how easy it was to get back on the bike and ride out the bumps. I’d forgotten how much fun it is to ride a bike.

I did remember how my big ole’ butt would get a bit sore from being perched atop that teeny, tiny bicycle seat. And, yup. Same issue this time. Only I don’t remember my butt STAYING sore for a whole week. But I’ve got a plan for next time. 

After a few hours of riding, we went to Dairy Queen for a Blizzard. We ate that outside as well. There was also more jamming. It was a great day for a wild little man on the cusps of seven.

We’ll be going out again soon to explore a few more trails. If you see us, say “hi”. We’ll be easy to spot. Seth is the blonde kid who’s ”squirrelling out” nonstop (and I mean non. stop.) on a blue bike. I’ll be the blonde with a big, cushy pillow strapped to my butt.

And if you were thinking about a PUR pitcher? Here’s a revew at MotherOfBun Reviews… Oh and a review of some pretty tastey peanut butter too as well as a Father’s Day gift idea.

… Oh yeah and here’s an article about a St. Louis couple who launched a fitness biz, how ADHD kids affect marriage and a cool website marrieds in the ‘lou can use. Oh and when you or your honey travels? Here’s how to keep that lovin’ feeling strong.

A great friend and I also have another project in the works. We’re not ready to debut just yet. But in a few days we will be. And when that happens, I’ll let ya’ll know!
