Duel biking and early bird special

Both kids rode their bikes to school today. It went pretty well.  Serafina did fall and need a bandaid outside of her classroom, but that was to be expected.  Despite the topple, she's getting really good on the balance bike and will probably move up to the "big girl bike" any day.

Tonight Tom went to a concert so I took the kids out to dinner.  We went to a diner-style restaurant and got there around 5:45.  There wasn't anyone under 75 in the joint.  In fact, one woman was celebrating her 95th birthday.

In addition to being a popular destination for the older crowd, this place is good for kids.  They bring out some fun fruit right after you sit down.

And of course, crayons.

The kids ate well and were mostly well behaved.  I'm glad we went out and spared me the cooking/cleaning up.
