Rain + School Day 2 and 3

We have had a ton of rain the last few days.  It cooled off and we had a high in the 60s today.

I had to move my last class indoors yesterday because it started to thunder and lightning.

School is going well for everyone.  The boys aren't complaining too much.  Noah gets lots of long breaks, which is good.

Today I tutored in the morning and then again in the afternoon.

I'm considering selling my blog and got a preliminary valuation of my site.  Tonight I spoke on the phone with a friend who sold her site last year and she gave me some great advice as well as the agent she used.

After dinner, Morry and I took a short walk with Chewie.  We saw a couple of deer running around and then saw a car hit one of them!  It ran off, so I hope that was a good sign.  

Well.. not much else is happening around here.

Heavy Rain

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning it appeared to be sunny.  We put a leash on Lizzy and got ready to walk to school.  When we got outside, it was drizzling - in the sun.  We ended still walking because we weren't really getting wet.

In the morning I had a meeting that I went to in central Austin.  Rachel stayed home.  Around 11am, the skies opened up.  It poured and hailed with thunder and lightning.  It was crazy.  Our backyard is not able to soak up water quickly anymore.

I stopped at Smoothie King on the way home from my meeting.

The rain stopped after about 30-45 minutes and the sun came out.  We walked to get the boys.

In the afternoon, Rachel went to tutor.  Noah and I took Evan to the doctor.  He's been coughing for a week.  He's had no other symptoms.  I think it's affecting his sleep somewhat and since today is the eighth day of coughing we decided to take him.  The doctor didn't think he was sick and prescribed an allergy inhaler for a week.  He should be ok.

We came home and had steak, salmon and corn for dinner.

The boys are about to go upstairs to bed.

Until next time...

Non-Stop Rain

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

The rain keeps coming.  And right now, it's not predicted to stop any time soon.  It was lightly raining in the morning so we drove to school and walked the path.  Poor Lizzy hasn't been able to walk to school in a while.

Later in the morning, Rachel went to get her hair done.  From there she went to Deborah's mom's house to help Deborah with the mess.  Deborah's mom passed away last week and Deborah needs a lot of help to get things in order so Rachel is helping.

I didn't go anywhere today.

In the late morning we had thunder and lightning here.  There was a tornado warning so they pulled all the kids out of the portables.  We had to go into the school to pick the boys up.  Evan thought everything that happened was the coolest thing.  He couldn't wait to tell us about how the thunder and lightning and the the lights flickered when he was in the cafeteria.  He said it was so loud that they wanted everyone in the building.  He was so animated as he was telling the story.

Rachel didn't have to tutor today so we all stayed home.

We had garlic chicken from the crock pot for dinner.

The boys will be getting ready for bed soon.

Until next time...

Extra School

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

We woke up to thunder and lightning this morning.  It was pretty obvious we were not going to walk to school.  We drove early and parked out front and walked the boys in.

At lunch time we went to Wholy Bagel.  They had too many whole wheat and blueberry bagels so they gave us a bag of bagels for free.

By the time the kids got out of school, it had dried out so we could walk to school.  Noah stayed at school.  As part of a fundraiser for school, Noah's teacher offered an extra two hours to stay at school where they were able to do some fun things in exchange for a donation towards the school.  Noah chose to stay, so only Evan walked home with us.

At 5 we picked up Noah and drove to Bicycle Sport Shop to talk to them about bikes for the boys and what sizes they needed and stuff.  Evan took a test drive around the parking lot.

Then we went to Home Slice to pick up pizza to bring home.  There was a 45 minute wait for pick up so we sat outside and the boys played ping pong waiting for the pizza.

When we got home, we ate.  Evan had a ton of pizza.  He really loves Home Slice.

The boys are about to get ready for bed.

Until next time...
