Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning, I had the StoredIQ office manager come over to the house to help me get some QuickBooks stuff in order, so I could generate 1099s for the people who have been helping me. Because of that, Rachel planned to take the boys out. She arranged to meet one of the moms from the Mom's group, Jodie. Evan and Jodie's son Allen went to preschool together for the first two years of preschool. Jodie has another boy Thomas, who is a year older than Noah.
Pamela, the office manager, got to our house around 9:30. Rachel told Noah that she'd be getting him dressed when she came back upstairs. Of course, Noah threw a massive fit for the entire time Rachel was gone and even more when Rachel came back upstairs. She ended up putting Noah into the car naked. When they got to Jodie's, Rachel sent Evan in while she dealt with Noah. After a little while there, Noah calmed down. Rachel said that Evan and Noah played together mostly, but all the boys were talking during lunch so they all played together after lunch.
When they got home, the boys and I played some Super Mario Bros, and then it was nap time.
After naps, Evan and Noah first played Angry Birds on the computer, and then they went outside. Noah's throwing has gotten good enough that he pitches the ball to Evan who hits it. It's nice that they can do that. Maybe Noah will turn into a pitcher.
We went to a place called the Bakehouse for dinner. The boys were mostly well behaved there.
We just put the boys to bed. Evan is playing Angry Birds in his room for a bit. But both boys are quiet.
Until next time...

Friday
The boys had good days at school. Noah's class celebrated Chinese New Year and had a little parade on the playground. They made paper lanterns and little kites.
Evan said he had a good day too.
When Noah came home from school I worked with him on reading and writing. He really likes that. He asks to do it. I think he needs more challenging tasks at times and this is good for him. He is reading a few words and we are working on writing his letters and numbers.
For dinner we went downtown to Garridos for dinner. We had a Groupon that was expiring soon. The kids were not well behaved at first, then towards the end they got better. After dinner Morry and Evan got smoothies. Noah didn't want one. I picked up an order from Mellow Johnny's. They have a good deal on a bike shorts/jersey set and I ordered it online the other day and had it sent to the store.
We got the boys ready for bed and Morry is reading to them now.
Evan said he had a good day too.

The Dentist (Evan)
This morning I went for a run with Noah and Lizzy.
Noah had his sports class. His usual teacher wasn't there, but he still had a good time.
We picked Evan up a few minutes early from school so we could get to his dentist appointment.
We had a to wait a while to be seen.
Both boys were very good. Noah got to be the helper. He really enjoyed that. You can see some pictures and video below. Evan's teeth look good and we got to see his adult teeth in the x-rays. He really liked seeing those.
For dinner we had eggs and cornbread.
Tonight was clean up night.

Thunderstorms
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Last night, around 2am, we had thunderstorms roll in. It was loud and lasted until after 7am. I woke up. Rachel said she heard the rain but now the thunder. It was still bad when I got up around 6:20. I was planning on getting Evan up at 6:30, but apparently the thunderstorms woke him up too, so he came in our room when I got up. He didn't seem scared though.
Because he got up early, we were ready early for school. I drove him over there and parked in front since the path was probably going to be muddy. Evan was the third kid in the cafeteria. I don't think anyone from his class showed up for another 10 minutes. I waited with him until his friends came.
When I got home, I laid down for a bit until Rachel's alarm went off to get up to take Noah to school.
Noah was good until Rachel wanted to leave. Then he started throwing a fit. He said that I hadn't taken him to school in a long time. So I went with Rachel to take Noah to school.
When we got home, Rachel laid down for a bit before she left to go to a Pilates class.
On the way home from Pilates, Rachel picked Noah up and went to CVS to buy some things. They were having a sale on things we needed. Rachel also picked up the first Cadbury Creme Eggs of the season.
Rachel stayed at home for a bit before leaving to get Evan. Noah stayed home with me.
When she got back, she gave the boys haircuts. They wanted her to do it.
Rachel went to tutor and Gabby came to babysat.
After I finished worked, I took the boys to deposit some MB Squared checks. Then we went to McDonald's for dinner. After that I had to stop at Office Depot to pick up some 1099 forms for people who have done work for me.
We came home, played a bit of Super Mario Brothers, then I got the boys ready for bed.

Drenched
We got a good rain today. It was misty most of the day.
Noah and I went to the library for storytime. I hadn't been to this particular library for storytime in a while, but someone recommended it recently. As we were parking it started to pour down rain. Noah and I got soaked. It wasn't that far to the building but there were puddles everywhere and my feet got all wet too.
Noah seemed to enjoy storytime. The librarian read a few books. One, Noah and I liked a lot. It's called Pete the Cat. "Pete the Cat goes walking down the street wearing his brand new white shoes. Along the way, his shoes change from white to red to blue to brown to WET as we steps in piles of strawberries, blueberries and other big messes! But no matter what color his shoes are are, Pete keeps movin' and groovin' and singing his song...because it's all good."
After the librarian read, the kids made hats (one book was about hats). The kids could pick from clown hats or crowns. Noah picked a crown. He decorated it and wore it all day.
Noah and I came home and had lunch. Then, Noah went to Cole's house for a playdate. They had a lot of fun.
From there, we picked up Evan from school and then went over to Jax's house for a playdate for Evan. Jax's mom invited us to stay and hang out. Noah didn't want to stay. He wouldn't even come in the house. He said he wanted to take a nap at home. So, I dropped off Noah at home with Morry and went back to Jax's house.
For dinner we had tacos, salad, and cornbread.
The boys are in bed now.

Back to Reality
Morry and I had a nice little getaway, but today it was back to work.
Noah gave me a hard time this morning. I had to pick him up and hold him down to get him strapped in his car seat.
At 1pm, the parents were invited to Noah's class for a surprise party for his teacher. We had cupcakes and sang happy birthday.
After school Noah and I went to HEB. It took a very long time. I had to wait in the pharmacy line for a little while. Noah had to go to the bathroom. Then, checking out took forever. There was no bagger. I tried to start bagging on my own but then Noah wasn't staying by the cart.
We had to park in front of Evan's school because I was worried we wouldn't have time to go home or to the trail.
When we got home from picking up Evan, I quickly put away the refrigerated items and then went outside with Evan on his scooter for just 5 minutes. I then had to take a quick shower and get ready for tutoring.
I finished just in time for when Blanca got here.
I got home at 7:30. Morry had already fed the boys dinner and Evan was playing Mario Brothers on the Wii. Morry and I had hamburgers (veggie burger for me).
