Saturday we went to a bike store looking for a more comfortable seat for my bike. The bike store turned out not to be a good idea because a) there was a big dog in the store and Rebecca was afraid of it and b) Ben knocked over like four bikes. I was outside with Rebecca so didn't witness it, but Joel claims Ben knocked over like $10,000 worth of bicycles. We left in a hurry without purchasing anything, with both children crying, and went to Dick's instead. Much better idea.
Saturday evening was a much more enjoyable time, because Joel's parents babysat the kids. Joel and I went to a wine tasting at Total Wines and bought a few bottles of wine, had dinner at Dean & DeLuca, dessert at Pinkberry (of course) and saw Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
Today we ventured out on a disastrous bike ride on the Greenway (both kids very whiny and refused to ride their bikes after a while). Upon reflecting that it was 87 degrees and we hadn't brought any water bottles along with us, we conceded that maybe this was partially our fault. Then, out of near total boredom, we went to the pet store and played with some puppies, and the kids and I all begged Daddy for a puppy, but he said we could not buy a puppy on a whim. Probably a good decision. Though they were very cute puppies.
Tomorrow Becca goes back to preschool, and Joel and I go back to work. Ben doesn't start school until Wednesday, but he has his Open House to meet his teacher tomorrow morning, and then his grandparents are taking him to lunch and a movie, so he should be pretty well occupied for tomorrow at least.
