Bike Rally

Since I skipped out on work, I also skipped out on checking my e-mail.

Missed the part about the bike rally of decorated bikes and helmets – tomorrow!
I picked The Girl up form school and got her to her Kumon lesson. On the way we talked about whet to do about her bike.

After Kumon we hit up Wal-Mart and got lots of flowers and ribbons and streamers.

After supper we got all the goodies and her bike out in the driveway. We wrapped the flowers all over he bike and added a few blue ones for a pop of color. We made handle bar tassels out of the curly ribbons and wove the streamers into the wheel spokes.

She was thrilled – But then she went to school

Only a few people decorated bikes and she felt that she stood out too much – even though she got lots of compliments on her bike. She asked that we delete all the pictures we took of her and her bike. I told her that we should keep the pictures because they could help us remember all the fun we had when we decorating the bike. She reluctantly agreed.

At least one good thing happens. She got picked for the Grade 4 Student of the Month – only one out of six classes! She was pretty thrilled and we were very proud.
