Flip-Flop

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Rachel and I flip-flopped who took each kid to school.  I was up late last night trying to get a project ready for a demo so Rachel took Evan to school.  She came and laid back down to sleep and I got up and took Noah to school.  Rachel said that Evan was in a very good mood.  He wore his Franco Harris jersey to school today.

When I took Noah to school, he, too, was in a good mood.  We had a cold front in last night so it was cool and very very windy this morning.  Noah kept pretending he was blowing away while we were walking into the school.

My clients came to the house at 11am.  It went well.

Rachel picked Noah up from school and he was in a good mood when he came home.  He and I went to pick up Evan at school while Rachel went to tutor.

Gabby came over until Rachel got home.

Rachel came home for a bit and we had an early dinner and gave celebrated Hanukkah.  Then Rachel went back out to tutor.

The boys and I played Lego Star Wars Wii.  They are in bed now.

Until next time...

From Noah's view

Here's today's blog from Noah's view.  He's sitting on my lap.

I woke up around 8am and I went in the game room. I lied on the couch and then I put a blanket on me and went back to sleep.  I got up from the couch around 9am.

I got dressed and I ate a waffle.

Then, we went to school.

At school we went outside and I ate lunch.  I made a cookie man, like a gingerbread man.

Then, I got home.

Then, I walked to my brother's school with my dad.

Mommy went to tutoring.

At home we played Lego Star Wars with Daddy and we got to be characters.

Gabby came over.  We saw Evan play Lego Star Wars.  We played outside.

Then, Gabby left.

We ate dinner. For dessert I had Skilttles.

Then, I took a shower.

And now, we are writing the blog.

And next I will play on my computer before bed and then I'm going to go to sleep.

Crazy Morning

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Yesterday, Noah kept asking to come with me to take Evan to school.  He really wanted to ride bikes.  I told him if he went to sleep at a decent time I would wake him up.  He kept his end of the bargain so I kept mine.  I woke Noah up after getting Evan set up downstairs eating breakfast and watching the MLB channel.  When I was getting Evan's folder, lunch and backpack together I discovered that Evan didn't read his book last night.  So while he ate breakfast, I held the book and listened to him read.  It just happened to be a super long book this time so we were running late.  We finally got going and had sweatshirts and helmets on the boys.  As I was backing the bike out of the garage the chain popped off. We were already running late so I didn't have time to fix it.  So we ended up driving to school.

Noah played Star Wars Wii when we got home while I did work.

At 11am I had a normal cleaning at the dentist.  Rachel and Noah went to HEB to get food.  I got home shortly after Rachel and Noah because Rachel was still putting groceries away.

Rachel picked Evan up from school while Noah stayed here.

Rachel tutored and Blanca came over.  They played baseball and rode their bikes in the cul-de-sac.

For dinner, I picked up McDonald's for the kids and Popeye's for me.

Then we played some Wii and I put the kids to bed.

Until next time...

Haircuts

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

The boys went to bed very late last night.  For some reason, after the Parents Night Out at the Little Gym, both Evan and Noah came home very wired.  Noah was in our room after midnight telling us it was morning and therefore he did not need to sleep.  He did eventually go to sleep.  They woke up a bit after 8am.

I came downstairs when I got up and made some phone calls and did some stuff I needed to do while the boys played Wii.

Rachel came down and we had some brunch.  After that, we took the boys to the Wildflower Park.

The boys needed haircuts and they always fight going to get their hair cut.  So we decided we'd pay a bit extra and go to Cool Cuts 4 Kids.  We went there after the park.  When the kids sit down, they choose whether they want to watch a movie or play a video game.  At each station they have a tv and a game console.  Both Evan and Noah chose to play the Lego Star Wars video game.  As we were driving over there, Noah was throwing a fit that he didn't want to go, but once he was in there and saw all the things, it was almost hard to get him to leave.  He loved it there.

The boys did not really rest during "nap" time.  They ended up playing some more Wii.

For dinner we had a Groupon for Trattoria Lisina.  We went over there at 5:30 but we were told it was an hour and 45 minute wait.  They said they might be able to get us in at the counter but that never materialized.  We waited a bit to see if that would work out.  They have a playscape there now so the boys were fine playing.  But after a while they told us we'd have to wait the full time.  So we left and went to dinner at Craig O's.  We also had a group coupon there.  The boys ate very well.

We came home and got the boys ready for bed.  They are still awake though.

Until next time...
