Two Hour Delay

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Last night we found out the Austin School District was having a two-hour delay this morning.  I'm really not sure why.  There wasn't any ice or anything.  It was especially cold for here.  I think in general it was the high overpasses we have throughout the city that were dangerous.

It was nice sleeping in a bit.

We took the kids to school.  They were in good moods.

We drove to pick the kids up from school.  They were both in good moods.  Evan was in a good mood despite not having recess outside for two straight days.

For dinner I made steaks.  Evan and Noah both ate a ton of steak.

Rachel left to go tutor.  Evan watched the second half of the Villanova basketball game.  I had to do some work but I could hear him cheering in the other room.

Until next time...

Bike or Walk

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

There is only one bus that delivers kids to the school where Evan and Noah go.  The rest of the students at the school must walk or be driven to school.  Apparently, though, more people are driven to school than any other school in the Austin School District.  I guess all the other parents are lazy (but I'm not judging) and drive instead of walk.  But seriously, the district decided to start a thing.  For every kid that walks or bikes into school and came down one of the trails, they got a raffle ticket and a sticker to wear at school.  They will do this every Wednesday in February.  The winner of the raffle gets a new bike.

So this morning, Evan rode his bike and Noah took his scooter.  We saw people walking or biking to school that I had never seen before in my life.

I had a client come over for a meeting this morning.

In the afternoon, Lizzy, Rachel and I picked up the boys.  One of the girls who loves Lizzy, Savannah, would let go of Lizzy when her mom said it was time to go.  She just held on to Lizzy and hugged her.  Lizzy loved it.

Rachel made chicken and fish covered with panko breadcrumbs and chorizo for dinner tonight.  I ate the chicken and she had the fish.  Neither boy would try it.  It was pretty good.

The boys are about to go up to bed.

Until next time...
