Crazy Weather Perks

The tropical system that moved through central Texas yesterday brought the Caswells a nice change of pace. (Sadly, it also cancelled Mr. D's first soccer practice...he was totally bummed.) But we made it up to him by totally chilling out with a nice warm bowl of chili and a fun fall show with the cozy background sounds of rain and thunder. Our morning continued the slow pace when we got a call from the school district (after I had already gotten out of the shower, of course) that school would be starting 2 hours late today. Woo hoo!!!! We took the morning slow, actually making a nice warm meal and having breakfast together, watched cartoons and got ready without the rush and stress that our typical mornings usually bring. We left the house nice and neat AND EARLY at 9:10. What a great way to start the day, if only every day could be a late start. Actually, I wonder how we advocate for a permanent change to the elementary school day start time? Seriously, 7:15 is way too early. ;) I'll have to research that.
