First Night of Hanukkah

This morning we walked Noah to school and then I left for my school.

After teaching, I met Morry, Grandma, and Papa at Strait Music to get the kids' Hanukkah presents.  Together, we got Evan an electric guitar set and Noah a keyboard set.

From there I went to the Pink Ribbon Cowgirls lunch at Whole Foods.

I walked to get Noah from school and then he went over to Grandma and Papa's house.

Shortly after Evan got home I went to tutor.

When I got home we ate dinner (quesadillas).

Then, we went over to Grandma and Papa's house to celebrate the first night of Hanukkah.

We gave the kids their music gifts tonight.  They were very excited.

When we got home we set everything up and let them play for a little bit before getting ready for bed.

Now, the kids are in bed.

Almost Done

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning when I woke Noah up, he couldn't open his right eye.  He's been having really bad allergies from the cedar in the air.  His eye was watering yesterday and I guess when he slept it formed a coating over his eye.  I put a warm washcloth on it and he rubbed off the goop afterwards.  I told him he didn't have to go to school if he didn't feel well but he insisted on going to school.  I had gotten Zyrtec last night.  I gave it to him before we left.

Because of Noah's allergies we drove to school today.  We were concerned about him being outside with the cedar before school started.  If we walk home and he has an allergy attack, we can deal with it at home, but we didn't want him having to deal with it at school.

Rachel had an MAT appointment today and then she met the Pink Ribbon Cowgirls for lunch at Whole Foods.

One of my clients, Strait Music Company, is sponsoring the Marauders.  I went out and picked up the check from them, ran to the bank and then picked up a smoothie for myself.

In the early afternoon, our contractor came and cleaned the porch.  He removed all the trash and power washed the porch.  He was hoping to be able to stain today.  Unfortunately, our backyard doesn't get much sun so the porch didn't dry in time.  He will stain and seal the porch tomorrow and then our porch will be done!

We picked the boys up from school and we did walk home.  Noah looked much much better.  His energy level was up.

We had pasta for dinner and then gave the kids baths.  We wanted Noah to soak in the bath and hopefully help with his allergies.

The boys are in their rooms now.

Until next time...
