Home Slice

Hello everyone, this is Morry. It's my turn to write the blog this week.

This morning Evan woke up a bit before 9am. He said "Mommy, I want to play GeoTrax". So Rachel got up and let him out of his room so he could go and play in the game room. About 30 minutes later, he came in our room, ran over to my side of the bed to tell me he needed a diaper change. So I got up with him and he said he wanted to be carried. I picked him up and he hugged me tight and said, "I love you, Gallo (pronounced Guy-yo)". We've mentioned it before but Evan always says Gallo and he has started to refer to me as Gallo.

We played in the game room for awhile and the boys went downstairs and played more downstairs.

When everyone was up and ready to go, we drove over to Home Slice for pizza. Papa/Lenny loves to go there when they come to visit. It's the best pizza in Austin. Evan was very well behaved at lunch, but Noah was especially cranky. Papa/Lenny and Rachel took turns holding Noah. Eventually I took Noah outside and walked with him. He calmed down. Grandma/Lynn came out and relieved me. Meanwhile they brought a dough ball for Evan to play with. He really enjoyed that.

We came home and put the boys down for a nap.

We were watching all the hoopla building up to the Kentucky Derby when the boys got up. I thought Evan would enjoy watching the Derby but he wasn't really into it.

Papa/Lenny and Grandma/Lynn took the boys out to Waterloo for dinner while Rachel and I went to the Alamo Drafthouse for dinner and a movie. They said that Evan and Noah were very very well behaved. They had live music playing there and the boys love live music. Evan and Noah both ate well and Evan was able to play on the playground outside of the restaurant.

Rachel and I saw I Love You, Man at the Alamo Drafthouse. We enjoyed it. I thought it was hilarious. Before the movie, they advertised that they will be showing the movie Airplane and it will be a "Quote-along". I guess everyone can say the lines with the movie. They will be serving "Don't Call Me Shirley" Temples and promise not to serve any bad fish.

After the movie we went to BJ's for dessert and got a Pizookie. It's a fresh cooked deep dish cookie with ice cream on top. It was very good.

Evan apparently went to sleep easily but Papa/Lenny had to rock Noah to sleep. They are sleeping well now.

Until next time...
