About a month ago I wrote about Grandpa Mike buying the kids ice skates, which they loved. However, we haven't had a very cold winter and we haven't taken them ice skating since. With the 40 degree weather we have been having, I am thinking that we missed our chances to go ice skating this winter, at least outside, where I think it is the most fun to ice skate. My niece informed me that there is a mall here that has a plastic ice skate rink where we could go ice skating, but (and I know that I am being selfish here) I am not going ice skating on plastic or in a mall. Bowling Green University has skating lessons, so perhaps I will get up the energy to call them and see if I can get the kids signed up for classes there. However, I feel like all I have been doing lately is making doctor's and dentist's appointments in my free time and Isaac's birthday is coming up, so I think it will be awhile before I get around to that. So instead, I bought the kids roller skates. Meijer had a pair in Mackenzie's size on clearance, and a pair of Cars roller skates for toddlers that clamp onto shoes, so I decided God was trying to tell me it was time to move on to spring activities and I bought them. Well, I probably don't need to even type this, the kids loved them. Luckily we have a huge flat driveway, so we didn't have to go far to try them out:
We also registered to register Mackenzie for kindergarten, which was very exciting. You would have thought we were registering her for a college where only the first 20 kids registered get in. Anyway, we have an appointment on March 5 to actually register her. We are going to send her to all-day kindergarten since she will turn 6 the second week of school and all. Luckily the day care they are at now has before and after-school care and the bus will take her the block and a half between day care and school, so that is easy. She is really excited to ride the school bus. Every morning when I see the teenagers standing by the street in the dark at 7:15 am, I wonder how long she will like riding the bus, but for now it works.
