Bike Trailer Test

On Saturday, we decided to go for a bike ride with Pietro's new trailer! Amedeo got a new helmet and some new inner tubes for Pietro's old tires.


It is important to start off the ride with a snack!



Poppy needed lots of help adjusting the bikes. Thank goodness Amedeo was there!


Fortunately, Amedeo loved his first ride. I was worried that he would cry and scream...he calls it the "Choo choo car." Hopefully we will get lots of good use out of this in the summertime!

Zoo part II

I'm going to rewind a little...Friday night we had Alessandro, Tanya and Noe' come to see us! Alex and Pietro went to school together. He and his family are taking a long vacation to see the US. We were lucky to have dinner with them Friday night. The boys dig carrot cake!


This is at the zoo on Sunday...Amedeo in the Tundra-Mobile. It makes me have heart palpitations thinking about him behind the wheel of a car. Crazy boy!

Amedeo felt a true kinship with the monkeys.




The End.

Everyone is doing it!

Going to the zoo, that is!!! The weather has been great! Pietro had a friend come into town, so we all went to the Baltimore Zoo.

There were many expressions of JOY! Just in time for spring.

Messy Feet

Lazy mommy has not been blogging. We did many fun things in February and now that March has arrived, I felt the need to update. I am so eager for spring to come. We are digging deep for things to do inside the house. Many of my mommy friends have blogs that I check regularly. They all do an awesome job with regular updates! One in particular has encouraged me to think outside of the box. Melanie blogs about art and learning projects for her daughter that have inspired me to have a little more fun on a regular basis. I loved her idea about painting with Q-tips and marshmallows...we didn't have either of those, so I decided to try another novel painting device....Feet!


This was a few minutes after he got up from his nap, so he was a little sleepy. Probably, he was a tad skeptical too!



Now, you want me to do WHAT with my feet?!?!?


Oh, ok...it isn't too bad.


I think he did have fun...he's just not showing well.
