Clean Up

Evan woke up early again, but at least he knocked and didn’t cry.

When I dropped Evan off at school, I put Noah down so I could put Evan’s lunch and water with the others. There was a class of small kids (maybe 2 years old?) coming through the room to go outside. Noah started following them and almost got out to the playground. I had to run over there to catch him before he followed the class outside. He looked really cute walking behind all those other little kids.

After dropping off Evan at school Noah and I picked up Riley. She watched Noah at our house from about 9:30-12. I had a whole bunch of cleaning I needed to do. The house was a disaster. Even though, Riley was here I didn’t get as much done as I hoped. Noah cried almost the whole entire time she was here. He started crying when she got in the car. The last few times he did great with her. I don’t think the crying has anything to do with her. She’s a very nice girl and she gets down on the floor and plays with the kids. I think Noah just knew that I wasn’t going to be able to be with him and he didn’t like that. I spent a lot of time trying to calm Noah down. He was finally happy and playing for about the last 30 minutes. What a stinker!

Noah ate lunch. Then, I ate quickly. It has become very hard for me to eat while Noah is eating (or trying to eat). He screams, whines, etc almost the whole meal. The only time he stops is if I give him fruit. So, I fed him and then took him out of his high chair and ate my lunch in about 10 minutes before it was time to get Evan.

Right when we got home from picking up Evan I put the boys down for naps. I was exhausted from the morning. Evan and Noah both took really good naps.

For dinner we made grilled chicken and rice.

After dinner I wanted to run, but it was just too hot outside. They said the high today would be 106. I’m not sure if got up to that or more, but it was really hot out. We were also under a heat advisory today. So, instead of running we made ice cream. I made chocolate ice cream this time in the bag and it turned out well. We didn’t have any vanilla in the house, so I just added some Nesquick to the mix and it worked well.

Morry put up curtains in Evan’s room tonight. We are hoping they will block out some light and maybe Evan will sleep later? We’ll see.

We just gave them baths and put the boys to bed.
