We found out last night that Evan's football game today was cancelled. We knew we'd get to sleep in. This was the first weekend day in three weeks that we could sleep in some. It was very nice.
We relaxed at home all morning. In the early afternoon, we went to Max's birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. The boy stuck together mostly while they played video games. Max seemed to have a good time.
From there, we went to Half Price Books. Evan's teacher had emailed us and said she knew Evan was into sports and sports books and that Mike Lupica was going to be there signing his books that he writes for young adults. Mike Lupica is a famous sports columnist. He's also got a radio show I believe. Rachel's cousin Leah had given the boys two of Mike Lupica's books over the summer. So we went and he spoke for about 20-30 minutes. He was very funny and charming. The boys really seemed to be enjoying the stories he was telling. Then he started signing books. Noah went first and Mike Lupica was amazed. Normally his readers are older (technically Noah hasn't read the books). He talked to Noah for awhile and told him that he was happy that Noah came to see him. Then he looked at Rachel and commented on Noah's eyes. He talked to Evan a bit but Evan was pretty shy. It was a really good experience for the boys though. I think they enjoyed it. We stayed a bit longer and bought some other books for the boys.
We grabbed dinner at a Vietnamese place called PhoNatic. The boys each had charcoal beef. Noah ate his with rice and Evan had his with vermicelli. It was good that they ate Vietnamese food.
From there we went to Rachel's friend Melissa's house. She was having a little house party. We stayed there for a bit.
Now the boys are in their rooms and getting ready for bed.
Until next time...
