Today is Earth Day. We didn’t really celebrate it. We’ll have to start figuring out how to do that in a way that the kids enjoy.

Yesterday I took Joe to Monster Jam. I don’t think he was too impressed, until he got his toy monster truck (for $15), but he has been talking about it all day and asking to go back. He’s also addicted to Mario Kart. He played it at Mathias’s house after playing a few times at our house, and ever since then he’s been trying to play nonstop. And he pitches mean fits when I say no. That said, I’m not far away from having some true competition. How long until we get a Wii?

We’ve also been riding bikes quite a bit. Joe has gotten good, Izzy is a pro (starting to ride with one hand, about to try no hands). The only problem is they only want to go in the road now, and Joe can’t restart if he stops. But he is rolling now.

Izzy turns 6 Wednesday. 6. Kindergarten is almost over. Slow down.
