Field Day Part 2 and Avengers

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

The rain last night was very intense.  It rained hard for a long time.  But, by the time we walked to school it, it had dried enough and it was no problem walking.

Rachel went for a run in the morning and then stopped at Evan's Track and Field Day.  She said that Evan seemed to have a good time.  Rachel got to talk to Evan's teacher some.  His teacher really likes Evan which is nice.

We had someone come to clean our dryer vent around lunch.

We walked to get the boys.  It had really warmed up and the humidity came with the rain last night so it felt pretty gross.

Around 3:30, Deborah came over and all of us went to go see the Avengers.  I had already purchased the tickets for us to see it in IMAX 3D.  I kept teasing Noah that when Ironman fired his fireballs it was going to burn Noah's shirt off.  At the end of the movie, he told me Ironman hadn't shot anything his direction.  Rachel wasn't going to come with us but her tutoring was cancelled so she was able to watch the movie with us.  She hadn't seen the first Avengers or really any of the Marvel movies so I had to catch her up.

When we came home, Deborah worked on Lizzy a bit.  She left and then we had dinner.

The boys are in bed now.

Until next time...

The Avengers

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

With Rachel in Dallas, we were not going out for Mother's Day Brunch.  So I promised the boys we'd go see the Avengers.  I had two coupons for a free small popcorn with purchase of an Icee.  The boys always want both popcorn and Icees at the movie theater so this worked out perfectly.

I had spoken with two different dads about whether the movie was appropriate for kids.  It definitely was good for Evan.  It was a little long for Noah.  There was a lot of fighting but no cursing and really minimal blood.  The boys loved seeing the Hulk and Ironman.  Evan liked Black Widow as well.  It was a good movie.

After that, we went to Dick's Sporting Goods.  We had to return something and I wanted to look at some baseball stuff for the boys.  We got a screen where you throw the ball against it and it bounces back.  We also got some baseballs.  I set it up in the backyard and both boys were taking turns with their gloves on throwing the ball.  I think it's going to be great for them.

I asked the boys to clean up after they came in and then we played some Wii.

During dinner, we watched the old movie Mouse Hunt on Netflix.

The boys are in bed and sleeping now.

Superheroes

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

When we got up this morning, we arranged to go to Matt and Rachael's house and the on to lunch. We had to get the kids all ready and get everything set up before we left. Also, Rachel got some of the old baby toys together to bring to them since they are having their little boy on Sept 22.

We got to their house around 11:40am and Evan and Ben played Star Wars and superheroes together for a while. Noah stayed down with the adults and played on Grandmom's iPhone.

For lunch, we went to Manny's Uptown Kitchen. It used to be called Manny Hattan's but I guess they are trying to reinvent themselves. It's basically a Jewish deli. The food was actually very good. Much better than I had remembered. However the service was incredibly slow. All the kids were well behaved.

We came home and Noah went down for a nap while Evan watched Scooby-Doo.

When Noah got up, we drove over to Target. Grandmom had said she was going to buy a toy for each of the boys. Also, she was going to get Halloween costumes. Evan has really wanted this Ironman helmet that talks. He and Noah both got one. Then we got Halloween costumes. Evan got Spiderman while Noah got Batman.

For dinner we went to Carino's. It also was slow, but the food was good.

We came home and the boys tried on their costumes and put on their Ironman helmets. They are in bed now.

Until next time...
