More Shmoah

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Evan got up early this morning, especially since he went to be very late. But he didn't really bother us. Noah slept in a bit so we were able to sleep in some.

When we got up we decided to walk to the elementary school like we did last week. We brought Lizzy along with us. When we got to the school, a woman that Rachel runs with, Ana, was there with her daughter Regina. We talked to her a bit and then our neighbor came so we talked with her some.

We had heard about a pond behind the school where there are fish and turtles that you can feed. Ana told us there was also a little pier on the pond. Unfortunately, because of all the rain we had, the pier was flooded, but you could still go over to the pond. So after the boys played on the playground some, we walked over to the pond. Rachel walked with the boys to the edge while I stayed back with Lizzy. If we went too close to the water with Lizzy, she'd want to swim. While I was standing there another neighbor of ours came over to talk. They have a little boy who is Evan's age. They are also Steelers fans so they are automatically good people.

We started to walk home and the boys were walking. They weren't sitting in the stroller. Noah walks very slowly so eventually Rachel tried to get him in the stroller. He threw a fit. Since I needed to get home for the game, Lizzy and I went ahead. When Rachel got to the house with the boys, I thought Noah had poured water on his head because he was soaking wet. He was just very sweaty from fighting being in the stroller. He's very stubborn and doesn't give up.

I got changed for the game and put the game on. Rachel started heating up lunch for us and got lunch for the boys. Then she put on the bike attachment to her bike so that Evan could bike behind Rachel. After lunch she tried to bike with Evan but was having trouble getting the right balance and then Evan got scared. I think we're going to have to get a kickstand for the bike to start out with. Evan ended up biking around the neighborhood with his regular bike.

When she got back in, Rachel put Noah to bed. Again he threw a major temper tantrum. In his room, he screamed at the top of his lungs. Eventually he wore himself out and fell asleep.

Rachel took a nap while Evan and I were watching the game. Then she had to go tutor.

Noah got up around 4:30 or 5pm but wouldn't come downstairs because he wanted Rachel to let him out of his room. I said Rachel wasn't here. But he stayed in his room for awhile.

I made pasta for the boys and Rachel and I had left over ribs for dinner.

After dinner, the kids had baths and they are in bed now..but of course they're awake.

Until next time...
