Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Both Rachel and I really slept in this morning. I was surprised how long we slept. The boys were very well behaved, playing in the game room.
We had waffles for brunch.
Just as we finished up brunch, Josh's family came to pick up Evan. He was staying the day with Josh and then sleeping over there tonight. Tomorrow morning, they will go fishing.
Rachel left around the same time as Evan. She had to tutor a student.
Noah and I played Super Mario Bros in the afternoon.
We ran several errands around dinner time. We stopped at Petco to get a present for Lizzy, then we stopped at Barnes & Noble. We had dinner at Chipotle then went to Bed, Bath and Beyond to get some stuff. We followed that up with a trip to HEB.
Noah is now in bed.
Until next time...

First Night of Hanukkah and Trail of Lights
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
After walking the boys to school with Lizzy, we were coming home and came upon two women walking two golden retriever puppies. Lizzy wanted to see the puppies and the puppies wanted to see her. They were really smelling each other and Lizzy seemed happy. As we walked away, Lizzy got really hyper. She seemed to enjoy it so much she was jumping and running. She was trying to do this while on the leash which made it difficult, but she loved those little puppies.
Around lunchtime, Rachel ran out to return some things at Michael's and stop at Bed, Bath and Beyond.
We walked to get the boys from school.
The boys did their homework when they got home. And then we had our first "night" of Hanukkah. They each opened a gift. Tonight's gift for each was from Zayde.
The reason we had an early Hanukkah was that Jack invited Evan to go with Jack's family to the Trail of Lights. Jack's family picked Evan up at 4:30 today. He should be home shortly.
Noah played with his Playstation game from Zayde while Rachel tutored.
For dinner the three of us had hamburgers.
Rachel and Noah are now reading.

A little less activities
The last few days have been really busy for all of us. Today was a little better.
While Noah was at school I ran some errands and got a therapy massage.
Gabby came to babysit and pick up Evan and I left to tutor.
I got home around 5:45, so we were able to eat dinner at a decent time tonight. There were to games or practice tonight. Noah has another playoff game tomorrow night and we'll see what happens.
Evan is working on homework with Morry and then we'll put the boys to bed.

Lots of Shopping
This morning Noah and I did a lot of shopping. We went to CVS, Party City, Bed Bath and Beyond, and Home Depot - all before lunch.
We ate lunch at home, relaxed, and then picked up Evan from school.
Blanca came over to watch the boys while I left to tutor.
Morry gave the boys dinner while I was gone.
I got home around 7:30 and we started making our dinner while getting the boys ready for bed.
We had cheesy foldovers for dinner.
The boys are both in bed now.
Noah is very excited about his birthday tomorrow.

First night of Hanukkah
This morning I took the boys with me to run some errands so Morry could work at home in peace.
We had lunch together and then Morry worked some more.
We stayed at home this afternoon.
We lit the menorahs and the boys opened their gifts from Grandmom and Zayde.
For dinner we picked up food from Zpizza.
The boys are playing football together in the hall and then we'll get them ready for bed.

Sleepy Noah
It was cold this morning (upper 30s) so Morry drove Evan to school.'
Noah woke up around 9am and got into our bed and went back to sleep until about 11am. When he woke up he was in a good mood. I guess he just really needed sleep.
Noah and I ran some errands. We went to Bed Bath and Beyond and Academy Sports. Then, I dropped Noah off at Cole's house.
He had fun. They played board games together.
Noah came with me to get Evan at school. We drove since it was still a little chilly.
Evan and Noah played at home until Blanca came over. I left to tutor.
When I got home we made dinner - egg drop soup and a Chinese frozen dinner.
Evan just finished reading to Morry. Now, we'll get the kids ready for bed.

In Search of Shaved Ice
This morning Noah threw a mini fit. He didn't want to get dressed and didn't want to go to school. Morry buckled him in the car for me.
Evan came with me to drop Noah off at school and then we went to Bed Bath and Beyond to exchanged the beverage dispenser. I also picked up my new glasses from the eye doctor.
At home, Evan played Wii while I worked cleaning the panty. I only got through the bottom/floor. It took most of the morning until it was time to get Noah.
Morry came with us to pick up Noah. Evan and Noah were excited to see each other.
We took it easy at home this afternoon.
For dinner we made fried rice.
After dinner Morry suggested we go to Blizzy's for shaved ice. It was closed. It closes at 7:30pm now. So, we knew of another snow cone place near HEB and decided to try it out. I was good. They had lots of chair for sitting outside, but I had to go in the car after a little while. Even though I sprayed myself with bug spray I was still getting bit up.
The boys are ready for bed now, but not asleep.

Errands and Heat
Last night Noah was crying in the middle of the night and it took a while for him to calm down.
This morning Noah slept late and then we went for a run. Evan told me he wanted to go for a run, but he ended up running less than a mile. It was pretty hot. I had to push both boys in the stroller the rest of the 1+ miles.
Noah was cranky and whiny today. He's been that way the last few days.
I took the boys with me to Bed Bath and Beyond. I wanted to get a beverage dispenser so we could have "fancy water". That's what the boys call water with fruit pieces in it. I thought we'd all be more likely to drink water if it had a little flavor to it. I picked one up after reading reviews online, but later at home there was a small crack on the top and the canister was a little dirty, like it might have been used before. I called the store and told them I'm coming back tomorrow to exchange it for an unused one. They have one on hold for me. I hope that one is better.
I also took the boys to HEB. We had a lot of shopping to do. It took a while and the boys were kind of wild there.
At home, I quickly put away the refrigerated items and then we left again. Morry and I had a meeting, so I dropped the boys off at Clubhouse for Kids.
For dinner we had leftovers. We had pasta and pizza.
We took a walk tonight, gave the boys showers, and now they are ready for bed.

Hanging out with Evan
Noah had school today. We all dropped him off and ran some errands with Morry. We went to the bank and the post office. Then, we got Smoothie King. I had to run a few errands too, but promised Evan McDonalds for lunch. We went to Kohls and Bed Bath and Beyond. On the way home I got a Happy Meal for Evan.
We picked up Noah from school and went to Wonders and Worries. Ali met with Evan and Noah separately. Ali let each of the boys pick a box of Girl Scout cookies.
Then, we stopped at body repair shop to get an estimate on fixing on side mirrors on the van.
Morry and the boys played Super Mario Brothers and then ate dinner.
We are going to give the boys a bath and then put them to bed.

Almost There
We are almost at Thanksgiving... just a few more days.
While Noah was in school I ran some errands. I went to Petco and Bed Bath and Beyond.
Noah seemed to have a really good day at school today. He was happy and telling me about some games he and Cole were playing.
Evan had a good day too.
Blanca came at 5pm and I just tutored one student from 5:30-6:30.
We had leftovers for dinner.
We just gave the boys baths and now they are supposed to be in bed.

Still doing well
Morry walked Evan to school today.
I dropped off Noah at his school at 9am.
I ran 3 miles and got some things done around the house.
After I picked up Noah we went to Bed Bath and Beyond and then drove to pick up Evan. We parked on the road across the street from the school. We had to walk just a little bit, but leaving the school was tough. Cars were backed up trying to get into the pick up area and there wasn't a way to get around them. I had to pretty much do a u-turn and go through neighborhood streets to get home. We were home only 5 minutes earlier than yesterday, when we walked.
At home I made shaved ice for the boys. The blender I have makes ice into powder and we got some snow cone syrup at Bed Bath and Beyond today. The boys loved it.
For dinner Morry grilled. He had bacon wrapped pork tenderloin and I had salmon. We also made a sweet potato and a baked potato. Guess who had which?
Evan kept insisting that Morry wanted shaved ice tonight. Really, Evan just wanted it again. So, I made shaved ice for all of us tonight. The boys ate all of theirs.
Evan and Noah are supposed to be in bed now. At 8:30 we are turning out the lights.

Busy Day
This morning Noah wouldn't get dressed. I really wanted to run with the boys to school and didn't want to be too late to school. Noah slept in just his pull-up last night and he wouldn't let me put his clothes on. So, I put him in the stroller with just his pull-up on and we ran to school. When we got to school I got him dressed in his classroom. I pointed out that none of the other kids were in their pullups or pajamas.
I ran back home and then got stuff done around the house. I changed all of our sheets even Evan's top bunk. That bunk bed is a pain to make. I was worn out by the end.
Evan and Noah both had good days at school. Evan made a clock (pretend) today. It was made from a plate and had hands that moved. He was very proud of it.
After school we went to Walmart and then Bed Bath and Beyond.
When we got home I tried putting Noah down for a nap.
Blanca came at 3:45 and I left to tutor.
Evan had baseball practice at 5:45 so Morry came home to get him and left Noah with Blanca. I got home around 5:45.
When I got home I finished getting dinner ready. I made Buffalo chicken in the crockpot.
Morry and Evan got home a little after 7pm. We just finished eating.
It's been a long day. Let's hope the boys go to sleep at a decent time tonight.

Running Errands and the Bookstore
This morning we had a few errands to run. We went to the library, but it was closed for some reason - maybe for the holidays? Then, we went to the vet to pick up more food for Mottel. Next was Bed Bath and Beyond. After that we went to Barnes and Noble for just a little bit. The boys played with the trains for a few minutes and I picked up a gift for a classmate of Noah's. Noah was invited to a princess birthday party in a few weeks. Last, we stopped at the bank to deposit some checks. It was a busy morning.
We ate lunch and then the boys watched tv upstairs during nap time.
For dinner we ate at Logan's. Both boys ate a ton of peanuts. Noah ate very well. He ate most of his corn dog, Evan didn't eat much of his dinner though.
We just put the boys to bed. Both are still awake.
I'm feeling a little better today, but still not great. This is a yucky virus or whatever that I have.

Evan’s New Room
Today was the day we moved Evan into his new room. We switched Evan’s room and the guest bedroom.
This morning Gabby came over at 10am to watch the boys while we got the rooms ready.
I went over to Bed Bath and Beyond to pick up a few things while Morry got started.
Katheryne and Dmitriy came over at about 11am to help us out. Katheryne is very handy and helped us take furniture apart and hang curtains. Dmitriy was also a big help with moving furniture.
Evan and Noah started to get hungry to so I got lunch ready for them.
Around 1:30 I picked up food for us Santa Rita. We sent Gabby home with I got back and then we all ate our lunch. Dmitriy and Katheryne went home after that.
Noah napped and Morry and I did more work around the house. There was still more moving to do, but we had to hold off on some things so that we wouldn’t wake Noah up.
For dinner we had pasta.
Noah is in bed.
Evan's being a stinker. He wasn't listening to me tonight. He's fighting sleep right now.
Here's a pic from last night with Jonah and Erika

Goodbye Morry and Evan
This morning Morry worked from home and then finished getting everything packed up for their trip.
Noah and I dropped off Evan and Morry at the airport around 11:30am. Then, we went to Bed Bath and Beyond, the bank, and the post office.
We ate lunch at home and then I put Noah down for a nap. He slept for about 3 hours and woke up just before Grandma and Papa got here.
Noah was very excited to see Grandma and Papa and was showing off for them and acting silly.
For dinner, we ate at Chuy’s. We had to wait a while, but it was worth it. The food was really good.
Noah is in bed now.
I just heard from Morry. It sounds like they are having a good time so far in Florida.

More Work Around The House
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
I took the 4 work days off this week because there is a ton of stuff that I need to get done around the house. This morning, Gabby came over to watch the boys while I continued to do my chores. We asked her to come at 9. Evan came into my room around 8:30 so we went downstairs and I gave him breakfast and ate some myself before Gabby arrived.
Gabby brought coloring books for the boys. She brought a Toy Story one for Evan and a Cars one for Noah. She obviously has spent a lot of time with them. She and Evan colored for a long time before Noah got up. When Noah got up, he was very excited to see Gabby. Gabby really plays with the boys which is nice. At one point all three of them were upstairs playing superheros.
I finished touching up the walls with paint, where I had either patched or there was some scratch. I also painted the niche where the tv and entertainment center are in our family room. The paint was done when our old entertainment center was in there and this new one isn't as big. So there were large chunks of unpainted wall that were showing.
I also cleaned up my office and went through all of the bills and receipts and insurance statements over the last year. I felt like it was a productive day.
While Gabby was upstairs with the boys, Rachel and I got lunch together. We had the boys eat lunch before us. We noticed that Noah eats better and complains less when we're not right there. Of course he and Evan play more when we are not at the table with them.
While the boys napped, we ate our lunch and then Rachel took a nap.
After naps, we ran over to Sam's Club and picked up an order we had made. Then we went to Bed, Bath and Beyond to get Rachel's belated Hanukkah gift - a fancy juicer. Then we picked up Wendy's for the boys.
We came home and got the boys set up to eat dinner. Blanca came over and we went out to dinner. We went to a place called Phara's. It's Mediterranean food. It was good. Then we went to the Cheesecake Factory for dessert.
When we got home, surprise surprise, Evan was still up. I put him to bed. It seems to be quiet up there.
Until next time...
