We have been successfully biking to and from school. However, today we had quite a load so we drove.

First off - my oldest has his first saxophone lesson today. I tried to rig a away for me to carry it on bike but it just wasn’t happening.

Then, my second grade son had gotten permission to take his hermit crabs in to school whenever he wanted, so since we were driving I said today would be a good day. So he says, “I have to go next door and get them.”

“Why are they next door?”

“They had a sleepover.” Of course.

Our neighbors and his best friend have hermit crabs (or tree crabs) as well so they’ve decided they like to have sleepovers.

I told him it was too early, he’d have to bring them next week and went on with my morning routine of trying to get myself and kids looking somewhat presentable and assisting them in packing lunches (they pack their own lunches, but a little help gets them there neater and all in one piece), sending in book-fair money or whatever that morning entails.

Next thing I know, in walks my second grader with his crabs in tow:)

A little later I asked him to see if his teacher liked hot peppers because I have an overabundance in my garden, he said she likes green peppers so I picked and sent in some Poblanos.

Amazingly, we made it to school on time. Each of my three kids made it to their class line (which are all across the school from each other) and into school with instruments, animals and vegetables.

What a morning.
