Successful Day

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning, Rachel got up with the boys and let me sleep. She got them all ready and went for a run. While Rachel was running, Evan asked to get out and run with Rachel. He ran along side Rachel for a mile...all while only wearing Crocs to run in! Rachel said they walked a tiny bit but for the most part, he ran a mile today. He was really proud.

We decided to run a number of errands today. The first place we went to was Academy Sports to sign Evan up for the NFL flag football league. Noah is just a bit too young for it. Next year, I'll be able to sign him up.

After Academy, we drove up north to go to a flooring place. Our carpet is builder grade carpet and 7 years old. It looks terrible, especially downstairs. We've been talking about putting all new flooring in the downstairs. When we got to the flooring place, they said they had a play room with video cameras in it. All over the store there were monitors so you could look into the playroom. We spent a long time there looking at all of our options. The woman is going to come to our house and measure on Thursday and we'll get a better sense of how much this might cost.

From there, we decided to go to RunTex. We had a gift certificate and I needed new sneakers. But before we went there, we stopped at 7-Eleven for Slurpees. The boys were very happy. They had been really good at the flooring place and deserved it.

We weren't at RunTex long but I did get shoes. I told the salesman that Evan had run a mile and that he'd be needing running shoes soon. He recommended a place by our house called 1379 for kids running shoes. We decided to go by there.

It was a good thing we went to 1379 as Evan is now wearing a size 1 (he was previously a kids size 13) and Noah had to get a size 9.5 (he was previously at 8.5). It seemed like a great store and the boys really enjoyed themselves there. They were having a huge sale and we got some really nice sneakers for the boys for 50% off. Rachel was also able to find some running shorts there.

For dinner, we went to Carino's. The boys were really good there and Evan ate all his food. Noah ate some calamari.

Rachel is giving the boys baths now while brownies are baking in the oven.

Until next time...
