My Rollerblader...

This picture was taken on April 28! As of lately our life has been filled with lots of rollerblading!

I mentioned previously about my fiscal fast I went on for one week. It was a challenge/deal from Aaron and with Aaron. I really wanted to get Abby rollerblades. I like to challenge Abby with new things, especially athletically. She has so much energy and personality and if I challenge her and channel in all that spunk....she learns and grows more. Every night when I tuck Abby in bed I say to her "Dream big kid" (I also say it to Stockton now, he likes to be like Abby!) and our favorite book is Dream Big Pig by Kristi Yamaguchi. So how does rollerblades and a fiscal fast go together???? Aaron and I usually don't just go by our kids new big things for fun.....rollerblades and the gear being the big thing... we wait for a birthday or a holiday. But Abby's birthday is at the end of the summer, so what good would it be to get rollerblades then??!! So I said to Aaron if you let me get Abby rollerblades and all the gear I will go on a weekly fiscal fast. He agreed... I also threw in that I would have Abby rollerblading by the end of the week....it actually only took her a couple days to get it... AND I had a coupon and all the stuff was on sale so i was smiling (Aaron too)! 

So it was a fun week. I loved watching Abby accomplish rollerblading and not spending money for a whole week was fun!
