Evergreen Wreaths

For Sale

As a fundraiser the kids school is selling evergreen wreaths. They offer to ship them UPS so I thought of setting this up to see what I could do to add to the schools ever bare coffers. Obviously you will need to include a shipping address when you pay for them, and No they can not be sent to a PO Box.

20 inch Mixed Green Wreath
$29.00
24 inch Mixed Green Wreath
$33.00
24 inch Mixed Green Swag
$27.00

All three of these buttons take you to a payment page on paypal. However you want to pay them is fine. I will ultimately collect and place the orders on the 7th of november. With local delivery here on the 22nd of November, I am not sure when you will receive them through UPS but I imagine it will be close to that same date.

Biking to School

Keigan got his wish and was allowed to bike to school this morning. Distance is around 30 blocks, with the last few up a fairly significant hill. He walked for part of it, then decided to finish it out on the bike, I suspect the idea of being on a bike ride, and having to reach your destination on foot was not what he wanted.

My trip was a little harder than usual because I had the trailer attached and was pulling both little ones. I took several breathing stops, with my inhaler coming out at the end. I had remembered to pack my nebulizer, but didnt need it. Even though this week has been worse for me than the last few. I still think that one week out of the month I seem to have a worse time than others.

My round trip was 59 minutes. I consider that 1 minute a larger number than it should be, as it allows me to claim it took less than an hour. Factcheck.org classifies this as an exxageration, but still basically truthful. My plan for Lunchtime involves shaving some time off of that. And after school I plan on taking a little longer, and allowing Caden to bike to pick up his brother.

Lunchtime update

94 minutes I miscalculated and arrived at school 40+ minutes before class was dismissed. Time spent riding there was 22 minutes, one stop on the hill to catch my breath. Time spent on the return trip 18 minutes.

Afternoon trip

86 minutes Trip to school with Caden on his bike only took us 25 minutes with no stops on the hill. The ride home was 20 minutes. Im not sure that they could do it everyday

I know I couldnt make that trip three times a day everyday, it leaves absolutely no time for anything else. After getting lunch for everyone we had about 30 minutes before we had to get ready for the last trip, at the end of the school day.

Duelin Fiddles

Keigan and Hannah, are standing outside in our shared driveway, practicing their violins, before school and lessons tomorrow. The younger siblings are all gathered around watching the impromptu concert.

I am not sure if I scored cool points or furthered my sons embarrasment, but I am still able to play most of Mary had a little Lamb. its The last note that I can’t remember.
