This is the face of a crime victim ...VICTIMIZED: Today Christian and I were down in the alley moving some stuff around and Annabelle came out to ride her scooter. Only one problem - there was no scooter to ride. She couldn't even ride CJ's scooter because both of their scooters were gone.
Christian is pretty sure he saw them yesterday so, they left our place sometime last night or today before 1 p.m., when we got home from morning running around. Should we have locked them up? Yes, of course? Should someone have rolled off with them because they were not locked up? No, of course not. Bottom line is, CeeJ and Bee are scooterless now.
The scooter caper comes on the heels of us noting our Most Favoritest Shovel in the World has also gone missing. The "Contractor's Grade" one with the fiberglass handle. Never thought I'd use "love" to describe a shovel, but, by god, I DID love that shovel.So here's our APB: If you see anyone riding two Razor scooters carrying a contractor's shovel, call 911!!!!
Clearly, we are going to have to shore up our perimeters 'round here.
Oh, and Annabelle was happy to find a kitty in the alley today. We have pretty much removed it from the suspect list.
IN HAPPIER NEWS: The kids started their week long, half-day yoga and music camp this morning. It's down in the Lakewood neighborhood. 
They both report really enjoying it.Afterward, we stopped at the Lakewood Playground across the street with their BYF (best yoga friend).
FREMONT STROLLS: This afternoon we did something we rarely do - a little window shopping. We were over in the Fremont neighborhood, which we love. We browsed the Fremont Vintage Mall, were we scoped out all sorts of treasures - and bought a few 'new' plates - in the oh so atomic Temporama pattern, which is our fave.The entrance to the mall has great murals several feet long lining it. CJ's favorite was Bruce Lee. Bee made a beeline for R2-D2. 
GOOD HABITS: While bedtime stories were all the rage for the past few months, for the past couple of nights, the kids have opted to read before zzzzzz. CJ's sticking with a "Diary of a Wimpy Kid ..." series book, while Annabelle mixes it up.

I can feel your loss. When I was 12 my brother left my bike in the front yard on a Saturday morning. When I got home from the Saturday Matinee it was gone.
ReplyDelete175 science experiments? cool.
@ Grandpa R - send me a description of your bike so we can watch for it while we're scouting for the scooters! ;)
