It's a Bike!

Sorry for that little lapse in time.  Other adventures were happening and I couldn't get to writing.  

So we left off with Beauty doing something charitable.  Something that was her own idea.  Beauty learned how to ride her bicycle without training wheels.  She is constantly wanting to go outside and ride her bike now.  

The "problem" is her best friend doesn't have a bike.  Her friend is in a foster family and I won't get into any of that except to say there's no bike.  Beauty asked me a very simple question:  "Can't we just buy her a bike?"  I don't know if you've seen the price of kids' bikes lately but it could easily be around $50-80.  That's simply an amount we don't have to spend on a bike for a friend.  

The next day we headed into Goodwill to browse around and look for something I could paint and upcycle.  Lo and behold there was a bike!  The price was $10.  This was an amount that not only could we afford but Beauty wanted to use her allowance money.  She bought the bicycle with her allowance money for her best friend so they could ride bikes together.  Now they are the 2 happiest little girls riding around on their pink, slightly old and rusty bikes.  An amazing act of charity and friendship in my book.

Mr. Father decided Beauty needed a killing tool bow and arrow set.  Boy does she love this.  Boy does she have a lot to learn.  Mostly not loading it backwards and shooting herself.  Ahem.
