Back to normal with a bump in the road

Today was an interesting day at school. The short story is that we had a lockdown. There was a local bank robbery and the armed robber had tried to escape on foot and headed towards the schools. So as a precaution, we locked down the school. There was scary moments when we didn't know why we were locked down or what was going on, but all in all it all worked out okay.

Ahren had choir practice at church after school, so I tried a new adventure - taking both kids downtown on our bikes. I was a bit of a nervous wreck, but they both did well. The three of us biked to church and then Sean and I biked to DQ and he got a milkshake, I got a drink and we picked up a Blizzard for Ahren. Then we biked back to church and chilled while we waited for Ahren to finish up and we all biked home.

Tuesday early evenings are a funny time at church. There are bunches of moms and kids and they have a little potluck-ish thing that they do, someone makes dinner and brings it for everyone and everyone has a little dinner while they are hanging out waiting for the kids and stuff. It's really pretty cool. I'm feeling like I'm going to need to start contributing to the meal stuff, since lately I've been waiting for Ahren while she is in choir.
