After hanging out at the fountain for a little while, we decided to go on a bike ride. We rode all over the neighborhood and even into the Meritage subdivision. Our kids were real troopers. Jonah finally mastered his brakes; Eden still needs some help with that. Eden started wimping out after a while, which was weird, since she's usually the one who doesn't want to stop riding. She eventually quit whining, especially when we stopped at the park for a snack and to play a little before heading home.
We are back in our routine now; it seems to take a few days to recover from a vacation and get the kids back on schedule. Summer should be fun. I signed up all of our kids for two sessions of swimming lessons. Even Levi and I are getting in on the action; no more watching the kids on the sidelines in the sweltering heat! I got smart; we're doing a toddler class together. We also got summer movie passes through Jonah's school for really cheap, so we'll be seeing some movies this summer as well. Fun! I'm not even dreading school being out now ☺
Levi got a haircut the other day. I didn't want to cut those lovely red locks, but with summer fast approaching, I find it only humane to let the boys save their shagadelic 'dos for the winter months. I just keep telling myself, "It'll grow back!" Good thing he looks cute with shorter hair too. (Is it just me, or does Levi have a huge forehead?)

Yes, look at our lovely bougainvillea! I have to admit, I love opening the windows every morning to these lovely flowers! I decided to take some pictures of the bougainvillea (and the kids) today. Here's Jonah, acting like a monster from Scooby D0o. (By the way, Jonah is going through a major Scooby Doo phase. No, it's actually more of an obsession. I think I'm going to have to confiscate the Scooby Doo DVDs for a while so he doesn't forget how to walk. The kid could spend hours in front of Scooby Doo. No more!)
Eden, being sweet...
and silly!
And I know it looks like Levi is in pain here, but this is his "scary face." That face actually is pretty scary!
Have a great week, everyone!

Sounds like a lovely weekend! We need to get out more.
The thing about the haircuts for me is not that I'm cutting off their hair, because it will grow back, but it just makes them look soooo much older!
I hate trying to adjust back into your routine after a vacation. It almost makes me dread going on a vacation in the first place, but not enough to stop taking them :)
Ok, I am totally jealous of your bougainvillea! I tried to grow one in my yard, but it totally croaked during the winter. My spirit was crushed and I haven't tried again...Yours looks great and is an awesome place for pictures!
