Bob the Builder

Hello everyone, this is Morry. Rachel asked me to write the blog tonight.

This morning Evan got up around 8:45am. I got him dressed and we came downstairs and started to watch Garfield 2. He ate a banana. A little while later, Noah woke up and Evan and I went upstairs and got him and then brought him downstairs.

Rachel came downstairs around 10:15am and we started to get ready to go to story time at BookPeople downtown. BookPeople is a really neat book store in Austin. At 11:30 was story time and at this particular story time, Bob the Builder was going to be there. We got to BookPeople about 10 minutes early and sat down. A lady came out at 11:30 and read one book. Then someone dressed up as Bob the Builder came out and stood there while they read a second book. After that, we got in line to get pictures with Bob. Evan was very shy so in the picture he's kind of far away. I think he was a bit scared of Bob.

We walked across the street after that to Whole Foods. It's the Whole Foods world headquarters so it's huge. Evan and Rachel split a smoothie and I got fresh-squeezed orange juice. We then went to the roof where they have a playground. Evan played around there a bunch.

We came home, had lunch and then put the boys down for naps.

For dinner, we decided to go to the Spaghetti Warehouse downtown. We had a coupon (do we go anywhere without a coupon) so that helped us make our decision of where to go. Evan loved the fact that there was a trolley in the restaurant. He was very confused by it though. He wanted to know if he needed a ticket to get on it. He asked if they served hot chocolate on the trolley. It was very cute. We ordered him spaghetti with garlic and butter (I got the same thing). The meal came with apple sauce, spaghetti and ice cream. Adult meals came with soup or salad. I got a salad, Rachel got soup and Evan had his apple sauce. Evan ate the whole thing. He then ate quite a bit of his spaghetti. Evan had a great time putting a piece in his mouth and then sucking it in. Noah also ate really well. He ate the baby food that we brought for him, a hot dog, cheese and bread. Evan also ate his ice cream. I think that restaurant was perfect for the boys. There was a lot to look at and the food was good for them. Overall it was a huge success.

When we were asking Evan what flavor ice cream he wanted, he said he wanted strawberry. Then he said he wanted blueberry ice cream. I said I had never had blueberry ice cream. He said "Daddy, blueberry ice cream is good, actually." It made me laugh.

Both boys are in bed, but I think they may both be awake.

Until next time...
