Where to start…..
The kids are back to school. They both seem to love their teachers and so far they are really enjoying being back. It’s hard to believe we have a 3rd and 1st grader. Aidan has started guitar lessons this year, and now he thinks he is a total rock star. He’ll have a recital in November, and will be playing Sweet Child O’ Mine by Guns and Roses. I told him I actually saw them in concert, 2nd row thank you very much, and earned some cool points.
On Labor Day weekend Aaron competed in is first triathlon, and did very well. He finished in the middle of the pack in his age group with a time of 1:51:00. He said he under estimated the swim and transitioning from biking to running, and already has a new goal for the next one. Aidan has a year-long social studies project called the Museum Project. Every 9 weeks he has to go to someplace historical whether it is a museum, a statue, or some place significant where someone made a difference in their community, which brings us to the cows. Austin’s downtown area has about one hundred ceramic cows – all painted or decorated by local artists. Later this year they will be auctioned off, and all the money will go to the Dell Children’s Hospital. Each cow is supposed to bring in $10,000 or more. I thought this fit Aidan’s criteria so this morning the Bundschuh family set off for downtown with a map and names of the cows. We ended up seeing a little over 20 cows.
