Tonight we sketched all of the Spongebob characters with sidewalk chalk (Plankton was eeeeeasy lol), and found a dead bird ..... DJ thought it was just a feather, and you should have seen his face when an entire bird came up out of the woodchips!!! And I really need to get Lily's description on video of 'the bird flying with his head turned sideways, he didn't see the house and crrrrrack, broke his neck' lol. We also spent many fun hours on bikes, scooters, and longboards. The kids and a couple of neighbors were sitting on the longboards and coasting down the driveway, into, and across the road --don't worry, we always had someone on car patrol. :) Kyle helped the younger ones, and made sure everyone was being safe (love how helpful and good with kids he is!). All of the kids were so brave, going off of the bumpy driveway onto the pavement. I was nervous just watching them!! So, I finally tried it myself, but chickened out and slowed myself down with my feet right before the bump..... the neighbor got a kick outa that lol. And Toby had been trying to get more control of his longboard by turning after he entered the road. After a successful run, he happily pushed his longboard in front of him in a proud manner.....hit a crack in the sidewalk....and practically impaled himself with his longboard!!! He seriously hit so hard! He stepped back dazed and confused, and obviously in pain. After a few breaths, he was ready to ride again! I would have been out of commission for at least a month!
