Jenna the biker

Growing up one of my favorite snacks was "ants on a log". This consists of celery topped with peanut butter then topped with raisins (not real ants). Yum! We don't always have celery at the house (who does?) but we happened to have spinach. Jenna thought it would be delicious to make ants on a log with spinach. Tiny victory dance. For this I really should get a good Mom award. Who would have thought you could make ants on a log MORE healthy??

Obviously Sarah did not want "ants on a spinach leaf" and instead opted for the cupcake.
For you Mommy...no spinach for me

 Now that the weather is nicer we are back to walking home from school. I pull the wagon with Matthew and Sarah sitting peacefully to pick up Jenna from school. As soon as Jenna exits the building Matthew is giddy with excitement. He grabs her hand and walks with her the entire way home (while Sarah stretches out in the wagon).

 Today we took our first family bike ride of the year. The most exciting part of it was that:

Jenna rode by herself!

Jenna rode to Handels ice cream and back. This is a 4 mile round trip and she did a great job. She was rewarded with cotton candy ice cream too! Sarah now moved to the trail bike on the back of Erik's bike and I only toted Matthew in the trailer. Nice! I'm excited for us to bike more as a family.

I think she's ready for pelotonia
