Parents Night Out

Hello Everyone, this is Morry.

Last night I dutifully set my alarm to get up to Evan to school in the morning.  I woke up this morning and it was still dark so I rolled over to make sure that I had my alarm set.  I did, so I rolled back over.  Then it hit me, what time did that say?  Well I had never changed the time for my alarm back to what it needed to be now that school is back on.  It was 24 minutes after I normally get up.  I jumped up, got dressed and woke Evan up.  He was very tired.  He's been staying up late during the break so I think two straight mornings of getting up early got to him.

Evan said he wanted to walk to school.  To get there on time, he was going to need to run like he did for Rachel yesterday.  The only problem was that he was moving very slowly and not running.  Evan is very competitive so I had to challenge him to a race.  The two of us ran more than half of the way and we got to school on time.

When I got home, Noah was up.  I got some breakfast for him.  Rachel took him to school.

Rachel went for a run after dropping Noah off at school .  Then she made a run to Sam's Club run.   While there, she got a Roomba.  The flooring people recommended that since the hardwood shows more dirt.  They suggested just letting it run once a day or so.  It seemed to pick things up well.

Noah stayed home while Rachel went to get Evan.  He said he was tired.

When Evan got home, he thought the Roomba was really cool.  He came up to tell me to look at it.

Tonight, we had planned a double date with our friends Will and Bradford.  We had signed Evan and Noah up for a Parents' Night Out at the Little Gym.  We dropped them off at 6:30 and met Will and Bradford at Z'Tejas downtown.  We sat outside because it was in the 70s today.  It was a beautiful night.  The food was good.  After that we walked to a bar called the Kung Fu Saloon.  They have all these old arcade games there and free Skeeball.  Will and I played some video games and played foosball as well.

We picked the boys up and are getting them ready for bed.

Until next time...
