My Biking Maniac

This particular bicycle can be found at Wal-Mart for $60 or Toys 'R Us for $75. However, we found it at a Rummage Sale for $20! Elijah always goes for this bike when we are dodging the toy aisle in Wal-Mart. He hops on and pedals away (he has been pedaling for about 3 months, now). Well, we just couldn't justify paying what the stores charge- even though those big blue eyes are so sweet. So, we were so excited when we found this, barely used, bike.


Now that he has an awesome bike, he suddenly has become the coolest kid on the street. We live on a street with a cul-de-sac at the end. He gets his helmet, jumps on his bike, and off he goes. It's so funny. We can just sit in our driveway and watch him as he heads down the sidewalk, rounds the cul-de-sac, and comes back down the street on the opposite side. Then, when we say it's okay, he crosses back to our driveway and does the same thing all over again. The big kids all want to ride his bike, but I tell them no. Seriously, he's a 2 year old, very territorial boy. There's just no way that can end well. They can't catch him anyway, he's surprisingly super fast!


Really, can it get much cuter?!

Torn on da Tob (AKA: Corn on the Cob)

One night for dinner we were eating corn on the cob. I always cut the corn OFF the cob for Elijah, so it's easier for him to eat. Well, for some reason, he thinks it tastes better ON the cob (just like his mommy). So, his "bite" of mine turned into my whole cob, plus another! It was pretty cute, if you ask me, so I got out the camera and started shooting because I couldn't resist.

What garden?

Okay, so it's been a while since I have blogged. Unfortunately, I just haven't really felt like it, to be quite honest. So, now I'm feeling in the mood again.

We had high hopes for our garden, however, the moles and deer had high hunger pains, apparently. Between the flood our garden underwent the first few days after it was planted, the sneaky moles, and the deer our garden was a complete and total failure. :( Sad. Now, we will have to hit up some farmer for corn stalks for our fall decorations outside our front door. Our produce will still have to be purchased at Hy Vee and our pumpkins will have to come from a commercial patch.

I would post a picture, but really, who cares to see the grass in our backyard. Because, that's all it is now :) LOL
