G-Force

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning we planned on going to see G-Force at the movie theater. Evan had seen the previews and wanted to go. So we knew we had to get going on the earlier side. Around 8am, while we were still sleeping, the phone rang. It was the vet calling with Mottel's blood test results. The results were negative so he is not vitamin B-12 deficient and he won't need any more B-12 shots.

We were able to get going and go out of the house when we had planned to leave. I had set that as a target time figuring that we not make that and so buffer was built-in. So we got to the mall early where the movie was playing. We bought the tickets and Evan and Noah played with the fire truck strollers that you can rent at the mall. Also there was a photo booth which Evan said was his spaceship. After a while, we went into the theater and Evan and Noah pretended to play with the video games while Rachel held seats for us as well as Aunt Susan, Aunt Donna and Leslie. 5 minute before the movie I brought the boys in and then went and got popcorn for us.

The movie was pretty stupid. I knew it would be. But I think Evan enjoyed it. Noah did pretty well there too. Both boys ate a bunch of popcorn. I also had soda (we had a coupon for free popcorn with the purchase of a soda) and Evan kept grabbing my soda when I wasn't looking and drinking it. It was Coke.

Before the movie, there was a preview for Toy Story 3. It was the same teaser trailer that Evan had seen at home. Nevertheless, Evan was mesmerized while it was playing. As soon as it was over, Evan looked over at me with a huge smile. I think I'm getting just as excited as him to go see it. The thing is I'm excited to see Evan see the movie. In October, they are re-releasing Toy Story and Toy Story 2. Obviously, we'll take the boys to go see them.

After the movie, we went to Rudy's with everyone. The food was good but I think the boys were starting to get very tired. Evan was very antsy.

On the way home, Evan fell asleep. That is really bad news because Evan doesn't transfer. Once you wake him up, he won't go back to sleep. That was the case today as he didn't nap. Noah took a good nap though.

After naps, Barry, Lisa and Lincoln came over. Evan was very excited to have Lincoln over. He said he was going to show Lincoln all his toys. The boys seemed to play together well. I made chicken fajitas and we had salad. I made Spanish rice in the steamer but forgot to put water in the steamer. So there was no steam to cook the rice. In my defense, I was doing about 50 things at once, but still that's a pretty obvious thing. For dessert, Lisa made brownies and chocolate fondue. She brought fruit also. Evan ate the fruit and had a brownie. Noah also ate some fruit and part of a brownie.

After dinner, I helped Lisa with the Content Management System that someone set up for her, for her website. It was not at all intuitive. I think I had it figured out, at least one part of it, when they left. Hopefully that helps her out a bit.

We put the boys down to bed, but Evan is out of his room saying he needs to go potty. Rachel is dealing with him.

Until next time...
