Inside

It's much too cold to be outside. I really, really, REALLY can't wait until spring. In the meantime, we'll make due with what we got, I suppose.

Anyhow, tonight we went to the fire station for some automobile cleaning and also took along Emma's new big-girl bike (versus a tricycle) which gave her (and Joel) something to do while I slaved away - cleaning. Truth be told, I like it that way :) It's also a great way to burn off her stored up energy right before bedtime.

Here's a bit of video that shows Emma practicing on her bike and trying to figure out the whole "brake" thing.

Thanks to someone so kind, one of Emma's Bday cards
included many Hello Kitty tattoos. Emma apparently doesn't
mind sharing these and insisted that I put one on

Seriously, run the other way if you see a crazy, green t-shirt wearing,
Hello Kitty tattooed woman, driving a fire truck...fear for your life!
