Successful Day

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning, Rachel got up with the boys and let me sleep. She got them all ready and went for a run. While Rachel was running, Evan asked to get out and run with Rachel. He ran along side Rachel for a mile...all while only wearing Crocs to run in! Rachel said they walked a tiny bit but for the most part, he ran a mile today. He was really proud.

We decided to run a number of errands today. The first place we went to was Academy Sports to sign Evan up for the NFL flag football league. Noah is just a bit too young for it. Next year, I'll be able to sign him up.

After Academy, we drove up north to go to a flooring place. Our carpet is builder grade carpet and 7 years old. It looks terrible, especially downstairs. We've been talking about putting all new flooring in the downstairs. When we got to the flooring place, they said they had a play room with video cameras in it. All over the store there were monitors so you could look into the playroom. We spent a long time there looking at all of our options. The woman is going to come to our house and measure on Thursday and we'll get a better sense of how much this might cost.

From there, we decided to go to RunTex. We had a gift certificate and I needed new sneakers. But before we went there, we stopped at 7-Eleven for Slurpees. The boys were very happy. They had been really good at the flooring place and deserved it.

We weren't at RunTex long but I did get shoes. I told the salesman that Evan had run a mile and that he'd be needing running shoes soon. He recommended a place by our house called 1379 for kids running shoes. We decided to go by there.

It was a good thing we went to 1379 as Evan is now wearing a size 1 (he was previously a kids size 13) and Noah had to get a size 9.5 (he was previously at 8.5). It seemed like a great store and the boys really enjoyed themselves there. They were having a huge sale and we got some really nice sneakers for the boys for 50% off. Rachel was also able to find some running shorts there.

For dinner, we went to Carino's. The boys were really good there and Evan ate all his food. Noah ate some calamari.

Rachel is giving the boys baths now while brownies are baking in the oven.

Until next time...

Non-Stop

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Once the day began today, Rachel never had a break. Both boys gave her a lot of trouble getting ready this morning. Neither one wanted to get dressed. Noah really fought getting dressed.

As soon as they got to school the boys where happy. Noah ran over to his teacher and gave her a hug.

From there, Rachel went to the gym. There is a running group that meets at 9:30 and runs outside around the area behind the gym. Rachel got there just before 9:30 and asked someone at the desk where she was supposed to meet the group. They told her to wait right there. She waited and then she went outside and they weren't outside. Finally, she found out that they met outside and had already left. She did meet one of the "instructors" who runs with the 8:30 group. The woman offered to help Rachel train for a half marathon.

After the gym, Rachel went to Run-Tex to get some good running shoes. Now that she's really running, it makes sense to have some good shoes to go with it. Run-Tex is a cool store that watches how you walk and how you feet are and they offer you the shoes that would best fit you.

I met Rachel at Charles Schwab today. We have a bunch of accounts there and we needed to do some maintenance on those accounts.

From there Rachel went and picked the boys up. She brought them home and tried unsuccessfully to put Noah down for a nap. She ate lunch as well and got dinner ready in the crock pot and started cooking it.

Blanca came over to babysit for the boys while Rachel tutored.

I came home and the boys and I played Star Wars Legos.

When Rachel got home, we had dinner. Then we gave the boys baths. They are in bed now but I'm sure they are still awake, although it's fairly quiet up there.

Until next time...
