New Air Conditioner

We were home all day today.  About 9am the people from the air conditioner company showed up to put in a new air conditioner.

All seemed to go well and we finally have a cool upstairs.  It is actually the temperature we set it.

During the day the boys watched some baseball shows on Netflix and they ate lunch outside in the backyard.

For dinner we picked up food from Yaghi's.  Morry and the boys had pizza.  I had ravioli.

After dinner both boys did reading, writing, and math. 

They are brushing their teeth now and then we'll put them to bed.

Gray Day

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

I felt well enough to take Evan to school this morning.  It was cold and Evan told me he wanted me to drive.  He was in a good mood though.

Noah got up a little after I got home.  He, too, was in a good mood.

Around 10:15, we had an air conditioning guy come to look at the system.  Our downstairs air conditioner is not turning on unless I unplug the thermostat and re-plug it in.  Then it will run for a bit.  It seems to work for heat though.  He told us we didn't have enough refrigerant and added some and checked for leaks.  He also felt like we needed a new thermostat.  So we're in the market for a good thermostat now.

Rachel made lunch for Noah and then he was supposed to go to Cole's.  For some reason he said he didn't want to go.  I don't think he's feeling 100%.  He said he wanted to just play sports.  I suggested he take the football to Cole's so he did.  He also wanted me to come to drop him off so I did.

Rachel picked up Noah, dropped him off at the house and then went and got Evan.

Rachel had to tutor late tonight, so after I paid Blanca, I took the boys to McDonald's.  They were well behaved and ate their entire dinners.

We came home and Evan did his homework.

They are in bed now.  Until next time...

Hightlights and Air Conditioning

Noah came in bed with us again during the night.  He does this a couple of times a month or so.  He said he was scared.

Noah was up early this morning and went with Morry and Evan to Evan's school.

We had a few things that needed to get fixed on or air conditioner so they came out today to get those done.

After I dropped Noah off at his school I went back to the salon from last week to get highlights done on my hair.  They were good, but it took a really long time.  I was worried I wouldn't be able to pick up Noah.  I got done just in time to get to Noah's school.

Noah was having a butterfly painted on his face when I got there. He seemed happy.

Morry took Noah to pick up Evan since I had to tutor.

Gabby came over.

I got home around 6:30 and made Tortilla Espanola/Frittata.

Morry's getting the boys ready for bed now.

Plants for the Garden

This morning around 7:30am the air conditioning guy called to say he’d be over soon. A little after that Evan got up. The guy was here for a while and got everything fixed and working again.

Evan, Noah, and I went to Home Depot to pick out some plants. Last year we grew some herbs and vegetables. The jalapenos and bell peppers grew well. Evan and Noah had a good time picking out plants. I’m trying to remember everything we bought. I think we got basil, thyme, tomatoes, various peppers, strawberries, corn, peas, onions. We’ll see if they all grow. I’ll try to get them all planted tomorrow.

Evan and Noah snacked on a lot of food, but didn’t really have lunch. They were both really tired when we got home. Evan threw a fit when we got home. I’m not really sure why. He wanted to unbuckle his own car seat but was getting frustrated. The chest part is sticky because he spilled slushy on it the other day and the bottom part is hard even for me sometimes. You have to do it just at the right angle. I tried to help him, but he wouldn’t let me. He was whining and crying. I’m not sure what he wanted. He didn’t want my help. While he was being difficult, I unloaded the car and brought everything to the backyard. During this, I managed to sneak in and unbuckle his seat. Then, he threw a fit because he wanted to put the plants outside. I had already finished.

I put Noah down for a nap. Evan stayed downstairs while I ate my lunch. I offered him leftover pizza, but he didn’t want any.

Evan came upstairs with me. I needed to nap. Evan didn’t want a movie on in the game room. He said he only wanted to play in there.

When I woke up a little bit later I went to the game room to check on Evan. He wasn’t in there and I started to get a little worried. I checked his room and the guest bedroom. Then, I looked a little closer in the guest bedroom and he was all the way under the covers and asleep in the bed. He put himself down for a nap.

Blanca came at 4:00 and I tutored 3 students. She had to wake Evan up at 5:00 since he was still sleeping.

Morry took the boys to Evan’s sports class. Evan threw a fit at first on the way there and in the gym, but he calmed down after a little while. Then, Morry took Evan and Noah to Chick Fil A. I met them there when I finished tutoring.

When we came home we put the boys to bed, but Evan came out of his room and sat on the stairs until Morry went upstairs for bed. That’s what happens when he ends up napping. He fights going to sleep at night.
