School for Evan, HEB, ...

Noah has started reaching his hands up when he wants to be picked up. It’s cute. When you go over to pick him up from the exersaucer or swing he puts his arms up.

Today Evan had school. Evan’s teacher Wendy was not there today because she is sick and right away he asked where she was. He seemed disappointed that she wasn’t there to read the train book to him. He mentioned the train book again before we left the house today.

After I dropped him off Noah and I went to HEB to pick up a few things for playgroup tomorrow. It is our turn to host. We have a little playgroup for kids Evan’s age. We used to meet on Thursday mornings, but now that many of the kids in the group are going to pre-schools on different days we alternate days we meet. One week we’ll meet on a Friday, the next a Thursday. Usually whoever hosts puts out a few snacks for the kids and moms. I’m going to make blueberry muffins, cranberry apple crisp, and a fruit salad.

On our way into HEB we saw Bodar, Marissa’s mom. Marissa is in our playgroup as well as Evan’s class at school. Then inside, we saw Susan and Laurel. Laurel is also in the playgroup, but she goes to school MWF.

Oh, at HEB I was able to buy honeycrisp apples (Morry's favorite). We look forward to this time of year when the honeycrisps come back out. If you haven't had one, you should try it. It's tart and crunchy.

After HEB I went for walk(1mi)/run(1mi) with Noah and Lizzy. I had just enough time get home, shower, and feed Noah lunch. Then, it was time to pick up Evan. Right when I walked in, he came up to me and asked for a muffin. I asked the teacher what that was about, why he wanted a muffin. Natasha said Marissa sat by Evan at lunch and she had a muffin that he wanted. Ms. Aranza (the sub and Spanish teacher) told Evan he should ask his mom if he could have a muffin. So, of course, he remembered and asked me first thing. Anyway, I told Evan we would make muffins tomorrow for playgroup. I asked if Evan was good today and they said he’s always good and listens well. That was good to hear. On the way home in the car Evan asked me where I went today.
