As school is starting and the house is without the noise of kids running around, I had the chance to reflect on the summer and what we did.  I never thought I would have the feelings I had when the kids left for school, but never the less I had them!  I&#8217;m not going to [...]]]></description>

Editor&#8217;s note:  In case you missed it, catch-up on Part 1 of &#8220;Hell on (Two) Wheels&#8221; before reading on.
OK, so we finally got home with a bike that: a) fit my son, b) had training wheels that were actually attached properly, and c) looked bad-ass cool. Check, check, and check. Now it was time to [...]]]></description>

Kids always seem to be surprised when they are caught in the middle of a lie &#8212; Mom really does have eyes in the back of her head!  She really does talk to that little bird!
