A New Boy Bike

 When you have 4 children and try to be frugal and not buy new stuff for each child  that last child sometimes get the dregs.  That is what has happened with this little tricycle.  It had seen it's day about 2 kids ago.  I've been talking about painting it and my boy and  has been obsessed with the idea.  "Mommy, today we going to paint my bike?"  So when we lost power this morning for 4 hrs I decided to go and spray paint the bike.  Here it is looking so fine.

 I taped all the plastic parts and wheels.

and then spray painted it hammered black from Rust-o-leum

 Then I pulled out my trusty Sharpie oil pens (red and gold) and had some fun making the bike more boyish and fun.  My son loves it.  He calls it his Lightning McQueen Bike.  Total Cost $0.  I love leftover paint.

 I know that McQueen doesn't say, "POW", but "KA-CHOW" just was not going to fit.

 It not cold enough here for shoes (yet) so I don't  wear them (even when I'm outside).

I think we'll go try out the NEW wheels.
