Hoppin' House and Pizza

This morning we took it easy.  I went for a short run and then the boys and I went to Hoppin' House.

Wade's mom invited us to join them and Evan's friend Nathan.  The boys had a good time.

Afterwards, we got pizza nearby at Giovanni's.  The kids really liked the pizza.

For dinner we had pasta.

The kids are in bed now.

Cole's Birthday

Noah was very excited this morning that it was Cole's birthday today.  He couldn't wait to get to school.

Morry and I dropped off Noah at school and ran a few errands.  We went to the bank, UPS store, and Smoothie King.

Noah was happy at pickup.  Cole's party was scheduled for 3:30 and Noah wanted to go right then.

We came home for a little bit.

I got Evan from school.  We came home and then left for Cole's party at Hoppin' House.

Evan was invited too and there were quite a few older siblings there for Evan to play with.  He already knew some of them. 

Both Evan and Noah had a lot of fun. They were running around the whole time.

We came home and Morry made pizza for dinner.

It started to rain.  Evan's supposed to have a football game tomorrow afternoon so we'll see what happens.

Morry is reading to the boys now.

Rachel's Birthday

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

It's Rachel's birthday today.  But first we had to go to a birthday party for a girl in Noah's class.  For those of you that remember, there was a girl that took to Evan when he was finishing up preschool, Victoria.  The birthday party was for her sister Caroline who is in Noah's class.

We stopped at Starbuck's on the way in as Rachel got a free birthday drink there.  When we pulled up to the inflatable place, called Hoppin' House, Victoria was holding the door open and yelled, "Hi, Evan!"  Evan was very shy and clung to me.  Eventually he said hi to her.  Noah's friend Cole was there.  Cole followed Evan around the entire time we were at the party.  I think Cole like being with an older kid.  I think Evan liked being a big kid.

From there we went to brunch for Rachel's birthday at a place called the Omelettry.  On the way, Noah had an awful coughing fit. He's had this cough since last Sunday when he had that mysterious fever.  On and off during the week he's had this low-grade fever.  So we made him an appointment at the after-hours clinic while we were waiting to be seated.

Brunch was ok, and we drove to the doctor's office.  The doctor suspected that Noah had pneumonia so she had him get a chest x-ray.  She was correct.  There was some fluid in Noah's lower left lung.  He's on antibiotics now.  She said that the pneumonia was not contagious.  He could give someone a cold, but his pneumonia was most likely caused by having a cold where fluid drained into his lungs.

We came home and the boys played Wii and Evan played baseball outside.  Then Noah and I went to HEB to get his medicine.

Grandma got here at about 4:45 as we were getting back.  She's in town for Aaron and Mandy's baby's bris tomorrow.

We went to dinner at the Melting Pot.  We weren't sure how the boys would do but Evan said it was the "best restaurant" he's "ever been to."  He loved it.  He got the "kid's meal" which was just shrimp he could cook.  They gave him about 12 shrimp.  He ate it all.  Noah did pretty well considering he's not feeling 100%.  Evan loved the chocolate for dessert too.  Noah just ate the strawberries.  Rachel seemed to have a good birthday.  They also brought us non-alcoholic champagne (sparkling cranberry juice) to celebrate.

The boys are in bed now.  I hope they go to sleep quickly.

Until next time...

Hoppin'

This morning we met Evan's friend Ben (and his mom and sister) at Hoppin' House. It's one of those indoor bounce/playground places. We stayed there for about 2 hours. Evan and Noah had fun and were going pretty much non-stop.

After that we went over to Tuesday Morning to pick up a few gifts. I don't normally shop there, but there was one in the same shopping center and it didn't look too crowded.

We ate lunch at home and then I got some things done around the house. I also went to the bank and to pick up smoothies.

Morry got the stomach bug today and wasn't feeling so good. He seems a little better tonight.

We did Hanukkah and the kids got more gifts.

For dinner, just the boys and I ate. Morry didn't feel like eating anything.

Tonight we had clean up night.

Morry is getting the boys ready for bed now.

Birthday Party Times Two

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

As a follow-up to last night's post, Noah threw a fit in his room for an hour last night and finally fell asleep. I went upstairs around 11-ish. I saw a bunch of stuff on Noah's floor but it was dark. I decided I'd deal with it in the morning. Unfortunately, Noah had underwear on (backwards) and he really needed his pull-up on. So I very carefully pulled Noah's underwear off and put his pull-up on. He didn't wake up but I guess that got him from a deep sleep. About fifteen minutes later, I heard Noah crying. He didn't want to tell me why he was upset so I just closed the door to his room and went back to my room. A few minutes after that, I heard banging. Noah was punching the door. I went in his room and turned on the light and then the full extent of the mess became apparent. Noah had yanked his alarm clock/CD player off of his dresser and out of the wall and thrown it onto the ground. He had pulled his lamp out of the wall and must have smacked it on something and shattered the CFC light bulb. He had thrown the DVD player that we keep in his room to keep him occupied at night on to the floor. Rachel and I cleaned up; Rachel vacuumed while I picked up things and we took everything out of his room except for the dresser and bed essentially.

This morning, however, was much better. Noah was in a very good mood as was Evan. We had two birthday parties to go to, back-to-back at the same place. One went from 10:30 to 12:30, the other from 1pm to 3pm. Noah was invited to both as well. The first party was for Evan's friend Victoria. Actually she's more of Evan's girlfriend. They spend a lot of time together at school. It's very cute. The party was at this inflatable place called Hoppin' House. Both boys had a great time running around and playing. At one point, Evan and Victoria were walking around together. Victoria had her arm around Evan and she was steering him where she wanted to go. Evan's friend Cayden yelled for him to come over to be with the "guys". Victoria wanted him to go with her. He paused trying to decide where to go. He ended up going with Victoria. I think that girl vs buddies dilemma will keep popping up in his life.

The second party was Cayden's party. They continued having fun. Ella, a girl from Noah's class, was invited to that party. Noah enjoyed seeing Ella. At one point they hugged. When did my little boys start being such ladykillers? At the end, Evan looked really tired and was really cranky. But all-in-all they had a good time.

Noah actually took a nap in his now-empty room.

For dinner, we had pizza. They had an entire extra pie at the first party which they let us take home. That saved us from having to cook tonight.

After dinner, Evan and Noah cleaned downstairs and the game room. Neither complained. They were very good.

They are supposed to be in bed but both are down here now.

Until next time...
