Hot Bikes, Cool Mama

Growing up we had a ton of bikes. My older stepbrother was always doing something cool to his bike. We loved to get chrome tire caps. We also loved to piece bike parts together and repair our own bikes. That is how I learned about channel locks and vice grips, and all kinds of measurements on wrenches. Who knew this little obsession growing up would help me in my much beloved career as mommy. My ds6 has had a problem with his chain falling off of his bike. I thought my dh fixed it, but I guess not good enough. While outside enjoying our beautiful weather, nice and sunny with a cool breeze, I called for a race down the long path to the mailbox and back after helping him get his chain back on for the 2nd time today. On the way back, that old chain fell off again!!! You should have seen my son's face when his mommy flipped that bike over and tightened that chain. He and my dd8 were so impressed at my skills!! Then I just couldn't resist flipping the bike back over with a fun flip with one hand by one tire!!! It was great! I was the rockstar of our house today. Hopefully it is fixed for a while. :)
