Lola in Texas again - Austin Day 5

The kids successfully slept in their own rooms last night, and woke us up when the light turned green!.  Well T told B with the light turned green...

They came downstairs where T says "I told you, you would sleep in this room".  We hadn't decided before they went where we were going to sleep.

It was a school day, so get the kids dressed, and off to school/work with DD. 

MBMell and Lola had a lot to do today.  Oh and it was "cold" in Texas today, started at about 2 degrees Celsius this morning, with a high of 10.  Pack up as much of the stuff left at the old house as possible.  Packing before lunch and one trip to the new house in the Tesla fully loaded.  Then for lunch to Shake Shack again (so good), but a stop at home depot for some supplies and Wholefoods for some groceries.

MBMell backed the car in!

Back to the old house to do some minor repairs and pack the bathrooms, and clear out the house.  We got everything in the car but a few bins and one big box.  Lola was a super packer and even got the 2 kids bikes in the car!

Dropped that stuff off, and off to pick up the kids from School.  They were sure excited to see us.  We only got asked 3 times if we were sisters/twins today... no just friends that act and look a like.

We then had to go back to the old house to meet some neighbours who were taking the crib/beds and some other stuff from the house.  Little snag as the cribs wouldn't fit out the door, but eventually they got it out.  Lola entertained the kids, and let her collect somethings outside.  They picked some "flowers".  They were so excited.

The Empty house!

Then to the house to make a meal!  Tilapia (lemon and dill), rice and roasted brocoli.  No leftovers, we must have worked up an appetite.

Then bath time and bed.  The kids were a little excited at bed time, but once separated, calmed right down and went to bed.

We were excited to finish our closet (cut the dowel at home depot to fit, but was an 1/8" of an inch to big, so asked the guy doing the reno if he would cut it for me... just in 2 seconds he cut it off, and it fits great!).  We unpacked a lot of boxes, and they are all out on the curb ready for recycling day tomorrow.

We ate ice cream (lola's favourite Austin Local coconut maple) before bed.  26,420 steps today. Feet are tired.  Have some things still to get done tomorrow, before my flight.

Oh and back in Manitoba, AA is still in Thompson enjoying the frigid temperatures of -34.

It will be a sad day tomorrow, but hopefully also productive!

Night, Lola.
