It was nice not having to take the boys to school today.
I took them to Locomotion, an indoor play place. They had a good time there.
We came home and Morry had gotten lunch ready for them.
We took it easy this afternoon.
For dinner we went to Gumbo's. It's a nicer than we usually take the kids, but it was one of the only places open today. The boys did very well there. It worked out well.
We just got home and we'll get the kids ready for bed soon.

Another Parent's Night Out
This morning Noah threw a little bit of a fit about going to school. Morry got him dressed and in the car. After that he was ok.
I was trying to think of something to do with Evan today. We decided to go to an indoor mini golf place. We were getting ready to leave and the doorbell rang. It was Jack and he asked Evan to ride bikes with him in the cul-de-sac. Evan decided he'd rather do that, so I met Jack, his sister, and their babysitter in the street. They all played for a while and then Jack came over to our house for about an hour. It worked out well.
While Evan ate lunch I went to get Noah from school. Noah had a good day.
Tonight, we did the Parent's Night Out at the Little Gym. While the kids were there, Morry and I ate dinner at Gumbo's, had dessert at Mozart's, and then got a few things at Target.
The boys had fun. We just got them ready for bed, but they are pretty awake right now.

Kids Night Out
This morning Morry met Evan at school for lunch. Morry decided to surprise him. Evan, of course, was very happy.
Noah's class had friendship day today. They were supposed to wear orange, so Noah picked out his UT shirt to wear today.
Both kids had good days at school. Today Evan brought home Perry, the class dinosaur. Each weekend a different kid brings him home and then adds pages to the scrapbook with pictures and stories of what Perry did that weekend.
At 4pm I brought Evan over to Jack's house for a playdate. They live on the next street over. We picked up Evan at 5:30. He and Jack had a lot of fun. They swam and played inside the house as well.
At 6:30 we dropped off the kids at the Little Gym for Kids Night Out.
Morry and I went to dinner at Gumbo's and then got dessert at Mandola's. Evan and Noah were both pretty tired when we picked them up.
We just got home and they are eating some fruit now. As soon as they finish we'll put them to bed.

Celebrating our Anniversary
This morning I dropped the kids off at school and then tutored a student at the bookstore. It is finals week so she didn't have class this morning.
After tutoring I went back to Evan and Noah's school to Evan's parent teacher conference. All good things... Evan's teacher said he is doing well, progressing like he should, and getting along well with others. It was good to hear.
I had a little bit of time to go home and have lunch and then turn around and pick up the boys.
Noah wouldn't nap.
Gabby came at 4.
I tutored one student and then met Morry for dinner at Gumbos. We had a nice anniversary dinner. We sat on the covered patio and had a nice, relaxing meal.
We just got home. Gabby was getting the boys ready for bed.
Morry is reading to them now.
Let's hope they go to bed easily tonight. They were both up very late last night.

Farmers Market
Normally I run with a group of moms on Saturday morning, but this morning it was cold (42 degrees) and I didn’t sleep that well last night. I decided to sleep in.
Once we all got dressed and ate breakfast we ran a few errands. We went to the vet to pick up Mottel’s food and Academy to get our Race for the Cure packets for next weekend. Then, we went over the Sunset Valley Farmer’s Market. By that time it had warmed up to about 70 degrees. It was a nice day for walking around the farmers market. The boys got water ice and then we bought some vegetables, olive oil, vinegar, and tabouli.
When we got home we ate lunch and put Noah down for a nap. I decided to run this afternoon so I wouldn’t have to get up early tomorrow to run. I needed to get a long run in. I ran the longest I have ever run – 10 miles. I’m hoping to do the half marathon in 2 weeks and my goal was to make it 10 miles. The half marathon is 13.1 miles, so I’m thinking that if I can do 10, I can do 13 miles.
Gabby came over so Morry and I could go out for dinner.
We ate at Gumbos and then went to Barnes and Noble for a little bit.
We got home around 9:30. Evan and Noah were in bed, but still awake.

Busy Day
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning, Rachel got up early to go running with some other mothers. She's been doing that the last few Saturdays. This week they ran nearly 7 miles. Rachel said she felt good and actually felt like she could have gone longer.
The boys came in my room close to 9am. We came downstairs and they wanted instant oatmeal because that's what I was going to have. They both ate theirs.
At 10:30, Gabby came over. Rachel and I wanted to go out on a date this weekend and this was the time that Gabby was available. We went out and saw the movie, The Switch. Then we went to lunch using a deal we got at The Lunch Deal for Gumbo's of Lake Travis. The food was very good and it was nice to get away.
Right before we came home, we stopped at Best Buy to get a new alarm clock for our room. We have an iHome and we hate it. It constantly changes time and as of today was close to 17 minutes fast. We keep changing it back only to have it change on us. It was bright and it shone in my face while I tried to sleep. And we didn't use it for our iPod. I got an inexpensive clock because I didn't need a lot fancy features, one that wasn't too dim, and one that had multiple alarms.
We came home and Noah was napping. I was impressed that Gabby got him to sleep.
For dinner, we met a friend of mine from work at the Salt Lick. He has a little 3-year-old girl and a baby that is 5 and half months. They have picnic tables at the Salt Lick so we just made to-go orders and ate there and let the kids run around. A band was playing as well, so it was nice. Another family, a friend of theirs, also was there and they had two boys. All the kids interacted a little bit, but not too much.
For those of you who haven't gotten to experience this, Evan hums the Star Wars theme pretty much 24/7. I think it's gotten to the point he doesn't know he's doing it. But he told Rachel he wanted the Star Wars music to listen to before he goes to bed. I remembered that in college, my mom sent me the soundtrack to Star Wars. I was able to find it tonight and I put it in Evan's CD player. When we put him to bed, he was just standing right at the CD player listening to the Star Wars music. It was funny.
The boys are quiet but I doubt they are sleeping.

Aunt Diane and Susie
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning, Evan got up at 5 something. His comforter was on the floor and he wanted me to fix it. Then Noah lost his pacifiers but Rachel got up with him. The good thing was that Evan ended up sleeping until 9am. This is the first weekend in a while that he was able to do that.
We were going to start a free trial at a gym here but the boys were both coughing. I don't know if they have colds (again) or whether it's allergies. The cedar is very high in Austin right now and the allergies are terrible. Just in case, though, we decided not to go to the gym. We didn't want the boys making all the other kids sick in the child care. So we decided to walk around a shopping center near us.
After we finished the walk, we got smoothies at the Smoothie King. The boys enjoyed their smoothies.
When we got home, we made lunch. Evan ate very well, although it took him forever. I think he was eating for nearly an hour. We put the boys down for a nap without incident.
Tonight, Aunt Diane offered to babysit. I think she had a lot of fun taking care of the boys back in November. This time she brought Susie along with her. They got here at 5:30 and we woke up the boys. Noah loved the extra attention and didn't get cranky like he normally does after a nap. They brought Wendy's for the boys. Noah ate his very quickly.
We went out to a place called Gumbo's. It's a fancy Cajun place here in Austin. It was very good and we enjoyed ourselves. Rachel got a shrimp thing and I got a blackened steak. After that we had dessert at a coffee shop called Halcyon.
Meanwhile, Evan and Noah had a very good time with Aunt Diane and Susie. They raved about how well-behaved the boys were. Aunt Diane brought all kinds of activities, play dough, pictures she had printed out to color - including Toy Story pictures. They watched Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs too. And they gave the boys baths. Aunt Diane was very impressed with Noah's vocabulary. He really speaks very well.
We didn't stay out late. We got an early start and both of us are tired.
When we got home, Evan was still up, of course. I think he was glad he got to see us before he fell asleep. He's in bed now. Noah seems to be quiet.
Until next time...
