First Ever Movie Night

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

When I woke up today, I decided I'd take the boys to the Wildflower Park.  I wasn't sure if Rachel would come along or not.  But she got up shortly after me and the four of us went to the park.  As soon as we got there, Noah told us he needed to poop.  I drove Noah back home while leaving Rachel and Evan.  We got home, went to the bathroom and Noah said "Daddy, I was just tricking you.  I don't need to poop."  Needless to say, I did not take this revelation well.  I told him he needed to stay on the toilet until he went.  After about 15 minutes of him screaming and crying, I told him I was going back to the park without him and pretended to leave.  He freaked out and told me he would go to the bathroom.  He told me he'd "try my best".  He did go and we went back to the park.

Evan and Noah had a great time while we were there.  They were playing Star Wars.

When we got home, Evan and Noah went in the backyard where Noah pitched some more to Evan while Rachel and I made lunch.

When we were finished lunch, we went outside and Evan did very well riding his bike.  Here's some video of it:



Next we had nap time.  Rachel had an idea that after nap time that we offer having a movie night where we eat dinner while watching a movie of their choice, maybe they would clean up without a fight.  She was right and they cleaned up the game room and their rooms with little problems.

They said they wanted to watch Cars 2, so I reserved it at a Redbox at the Walgreen's near us.  I went to pick it up and the touch screen wouldn't work.  Several of us who were trying to get movies worked on it to no avail.  One lady even through the breaker that the box was plugged into.  It must have had a battery backup because it didn't shut down.  I called the phone number on it and they credited my account while saying they'd have someone out to look at the kiosk within 24 to 48 hours.  So I drove over to HEB and picked up the movie there.

I grilled chicken when I got home while Rachel got food ready for the boys.

We pulled out the TV trays in the game room and watched the movie there.  The boys sat on a towel and ate on the floor.  We had a good time.

The boys are now in bed.  They were pretty tired.

Until next time...
