The Outlets

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Evan did come out of his room last night but he didn't fight with us too badly. He was in a much better mood than on Thursday night when he really fought us.

Evan got up at 7:45 this morning. I got him set up in the game room with a movie and some breakfast. He was good about letting us sleep from there. I think he went in and got Grandmom at some point. I got up around 9:45 and Grandmom, Evan, Noah and I all played in the game room.

We eventually made it downstairs and the boys watched Wall-E in addition to running around and jumping into pillows that Evan set up.

When Rachel got downstairs, we decided to drive to the outlets. The boys needed some summer stuff as well as some shoes. We stopped at Chick-Fil-A on the way.

We went to the Stride Rite outlet first since their shoes fit the boys well. Both boys have really thick, wide feet and Stride Ride sells shoes that are wide. Almost immediately, I saw that they sold Toy Story shoes. We found one in each boy's size. Evan gave us a hard time when we had to take those shoes off to try on other shoes. He ended up wearing them out of the store. The boys also got sandals. And Evan got some nicer shoes.

We went from there to the Gap outlet. We got some things for Evan but nothing, unfortunately for Noah. Rachel also got some clothes.

After that Grandmom made a quick run over to the Ralph Lauren outlet, Rachel and Noah went to Nike, and Evan and I went to the bathroom.

We went home and the boys took naps.

For dinner, we decided we'd try to get Evan some crab since he enjoyed it so much last week. We found that a place called Pappadeaux was reasonably priced and sold crab. We called ahead and drove up there. It's about 30 to 35 minutes away. When we got there they said it was still a 45 minute wait even though we put our name on the list earlier. In fact, it took us a little while to get out of the house and they said that it should have been about an hour. So Rachel told them either they seated us then or we were leaving. They sat us right then. It was pretty good. Noah was a bit of a pain. Evan ended up not eating that much of the crab after all that.

We came home and the boys are now in bed. We have not heard from Evan yet. I stress the word "yet".

Until next time...
