We have issues.....big and small!

When your driveway looks live a vacated bike shop, it's a sign there are lots of kids in the house.
 And in our house, the only time every bike we own comes out of the garage, it typically means it's flat tire repair night!  You know, we only fix flat tires when the kids have practically outgrown the bike and the child can no longer ride it comfortably.  Isn't that how it's supposed to work?
So, our big problem is that a whole lot of our bikes are waaaaaaayyyyyy too small.  Or maybe the problem is that the kids like to ride the bikes that are too small!  By kids, I also mean my husband.  Case in point:
Even Aaron tried out the too small available 2 wheeled toys....
The small problem?  Laurel.  She's still working on figuring out how to pedal the bike with enough power to make it even MOVE, let alone ride it without training wheels.  Of course, riding with flip flops on is a bad idea....the rule is no flip flops to ride so I have no idea how she ended up on a bike wearing them.  Sheesh, what a bad mom I am, just clicking away taking pictures!
The only kiddo that enjoyed riding his own bike more than riding someone else's was Luke, proving once again that he can now ride a two-wheeler ALL by himself!
Although the pictures seem to say we have no bikes for the kids in the right size, they actually all have bikes that fit them right.  Jacob and Gregory have moved up to mine and Bill's bike, Eric moved up to G and J's most recent bikes and Luke now rides Eric's old bike.  Once Laurel is strong enough to pedal her bike for more than 10 seconds, we'll move her on up to a bigger one also.  If it's one thing we are good at in our house, it's recycling!
