Valentine's Day 2016

This morning we took it easy.

We left the house around 10:30 to head downtown.  We spent a lot of the day walking around South Congress and Downtown.

We parked on South Congress and walked to Big Top Candy Shop. We all picked out some candy to bring home.   Then, we ate lunch.  Evan got a slice of pizza from Home Slice.  The rest of us got food from Ms. P's Chicken.  We ate outside on the picnic tables in front of the food trailer.

From there, we walked downtown to Voodoo Donut.  There was a long wait at Voodoo Donut.  The Austin Marathon was this morning and downtown was packed.  There were a lot of people getting donuts after the race.

Then, we walked back to the car.

We took it easy this afternoon.

Before dinner we walked to Grandma and Papa's house to get their mail and put out the trash cans.

For dinner we had leftovers.

The boys are getting ready for bed.

Tomorrow, there isn't school, but we have Evan's parent teacher conference in the morning.

Here are some pictures from today.

Family Day

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

When Noah went the the Wonders & Worries party two weeks ago, he made a card there.  He had to write three potential Valentine's Gifts and then he put the scratch-off stuff over top of it.  He's been excited to give me the card ever since.  This morning he came in to check if I was awake yet.  I scratched off the middle of the three prizes and it was ten kisses.  So he gave me 10 kisses on my cheek.

We exchanged gifts when we got up.  One of the gifts that Rachel got for me and the boys was a trip to Big Top Candy on South Congress.  They sell old time candy, as well as new candy there.  So we decided to make a day of it on South Congress since it was really nice out.  Evan really wanted salad from Whole Foods though so we stopped by there and the boys each made a salad from the salad bar.

All four of us had fun at Big Top Candy.  Then we walked down (the very crowded) South Congress to Ms. P's Fried Chicken.  Rachel and I got food there.  It was really good.  We hadn't been there before.

We came home and relaxed.

The boys have been begging us to take them to SpongeBob.  We had a gift certificate to the  Alamo Drafthouse from Nikki so we went there for dinner.  The boys really enjoyed the movie.  It turns out one of Evan's teammates from the Bucs was there so Evan hung out with him at the end of the movie.

We came home and the boys went to bed.

Until next time...
