Birthday Bikes

Since Jemma is an only girl... and we are cheap... and our favorite product ever made is spray paint... It isn't surprising when Jemma asked for a bike for her birthday we did a little recycling with the old one we had laying around.

*Note to those who would like to refurbish an older bike. Do not spray paint in the kitchen. Even if you lay down plastic sheeting. Just take it outside. Lesson learned.

After I went to bed. Matt went to the store and found stencils to put the butterfly and flower decals on. I thought it added a nice touch.

We didn't forget the clear coat finish to make the bike shiny. It was a must.
Turned out pretty nice if I do say so myself. Jemma was thrilled! That's what truly matters most.
Jacks also asked for a bike for his birthday. He wasn't quite as thrilled to see his bike at first because we hadn't added the training wheels yet. But once we put them on he couldn't wait to go for a ride. However, this summer he'd better be ready. We are taking the training wheels off, permanently
