What a fabulous couple of days. The weather's been so nice the last few days that the kids have been wearing capris and short sleeve shirts during the warmest part of the day. Yesterday we strapped the kids into the bike trailer (thanks Mom & Dad!) and took a family bike ride around town. Mapped it out today and it looks like we rode about 8 miles! We stopped by a park near the end that we'd never visited before and let the kids play, just enjoying the beautiful weather. What a fun and relaxing time! Bike riding is one of the very few things that our entire family really enjoys doing together, and it was great to be able to do it so late in the season. We didn't take pictures yesterday, but here's one of us on our bikes at Yellowstone 2 years ago. Chloe was only 8 months old!
Then today, my little 7-year-old cousin, Kylie, came over to play with the girls, and when her mom (my Aunt Kathy) came to pick her up, she took the girls with her to play at their house. JR was at doctor appts all day, so I actually had some time TO MYSELF! I worked like mad to get all my work done before the kids left so I could do something fun during this rare opportunity. So, naturally, I went clothes shopping. I haven't been enjoying clothes shopping quite as much lately because I've gained weight over the last few months and most things look hideous on me (plus I get pickier and pickier as time rolls on), but this was much needed (because of the unfortunate weight gain), and much appreciated since I was alone. I tried on dozens of things, but only came home with 2 pairs of pants and a skirt - good news financially, but pathetic because a lot of cute stuff just looked horrible on me. Sad. Anyway, the last couple of days have been really rejuvenating, and the timing couldn't be better since I was having a hard time last week.

Good for you, getting some "me" time!! Isn't it sad...back when I was "younger" and my pants would feel a little too tight I'd think, "man I really need to work out!"...now I think, "I really need some bigger pants!" Hahaha.
We've been loving the warm afternoons too! I can't wait to have a bike for each family member so we can ride bikes together. That used to be my favorite past-time growing up!
Huray for sun, hurray for biking, hurray for Nikki and hurray for the Klock family!
Looks like a blast-I love clothes shopping also but find that in can be a rather depressing thing when you try on 50 pants and either walk away with one or none. Hasn't the weather been fantastic!!! We have loved every minute of it too
I can't imagine anything looking bad on you! But I know how you feel. I don't really enjoy clothes shopping right now either. I'm still trying to lose the other half of the 45 lbs I gained with Natalie's pregnancy.
