Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning, Evan slept in a bit later than he has the last couple weeks. Noah was awakened when Evan went to let Lizzy out but I hadn't yet turned off the house alarm.
I went into Aaron's but everyone else stayed home today. Deborah came at 11 to work with Lizzy.
In the afternoon, I came home and Evan was reading. Noah was playing with Legos.
After finishing up work, I played wiffleball with Evan.
We had hamburgers cooked on the grill for dinner. For dessert, we went to Sweet Caroline's. When we came home, we took a short walk with Lizzy.
The boys are getting ready for bed.
Until next time...

Father-Son Football Game
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
At 6:34 this morning, I woke up and looked at the time. My alarm is set during the week for 6:25. I jumped up thinking my alarm hadn't gone off and went into the bathroom to start getting ready when I realized that today was Saturday. Luckily I had realized before I woke the boys up.
We stayed in this morning and the boys watched the second Harry Potter movie.
Evan had a birthday party to go to that was a Father-Son football game. I haven't played football in a long time. They had rented out an indoor facility that had astro turf for us to play. Everyone seemed to have a good time. I was exhausted at the end. We played football for most of it but at the end we played some soccer. Evan seemed to have a good time with his buddies.
We came home for a while. Then Rachel and Noah joined us and we went to Best Buy. We bought a new vacuum cleaner to replace the one that Rachel sold. We also ended up buying a new TV for downstairs. It will be delivered on Wednesday.
We went to Chipotle for dinner. Both and Evan and Noah ate steak tacos. It was great.
We stopped at Redbox on the way home.

Practice
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning the boys set their alarms again. Noah was a bit cranky but all-in-all it was a fairly easy morning. We drove to school as it was only 48 degrees.
In the afternoon, we walked to get the boys. By that time it got warm. It appears the ice cream truck is no more. Some fuddy duddy (I have other choice terms for the person) decided to complain that the ice cream truck did not have the proper permits to be stopped where they were and selling food and called the city. Seriously, do people not have anything better to do with their time than ruin some stuff for kids? So we just brought the normal popsicles today.
Noah had practice today. We worked on some drills. Then I ran two exercises where the winner got a prize. They had to field the ball and throw and hit a bucket. They got one point for fielding the ball, one point for hitting the bucket if the ball hit the ground first and 3 points for hitting the bucket in the air. Then we had the boys race to first base. I want to teach them that they will run faster running through the bag. This is one of the biggest issues I see when kids move up from tee ball to coach pitch. They still just want to run and stop on first base. It's amazing how many times a kid will be out because they slowed down too soon. It makes a huge difference. Especially since at this point the bases are fairly close together so it doesn't give the fielder as much time to make the out. But if the kid slows down, they are giving the advantage back to the fielder.
We stopped at Wendy's on the way home.
The boys are in bed and asleep now.

Chuck E Cheese's and the Super Bowl
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
The boys were good this morning and let us sleep. They were very quiet in the game room. Actually what got me up finally is that Noah opened the door into the garage because he was going to put a box in recycling and the alarm was still on. I turned it off, but it scared him and he was crying. It was just the warning alarm that let us know we had 30 seconds to turn off the alarm so it wasn't a big deal. I told him he had done a good thing by trying to recycle that box. He just needs to look to see if the alarm is red or green.
Rachel made blueberry muffins from scratch. The boys, for whatever reason, didn't like them.
This afternoon, Evan's friend Ben had a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese's. He only invited 4 other boys. Noah was also invited. The parents had hoped that since it was Super Bowl Sunday it wouldn't be crowded. Unfortunately the weather was not on their side because it rained. When we got there, it was hard to just find a parking spot. It was absolutely crazy inside. The boys seemed to have fun though.
We came home and had the boys calm down for a bit in the game room.
When the Super Bowl started, I let the boys come down. We had dinner with the TV on.
Rachel had to tutor tonight. She left around 7 and returned after 9pm. She normally tutors this family on Wednesdays but they canceled this week because they were sick.
The boys are in bed after watching the whole Super Bowl with me. They were both happy that the Patriots lost. They are well aware that the Patriots are cheaters.
Until next time...

Parents Night Out
Hello Everyone, this is Morry.
Last night I dutifully set my alarm to get up to Evan to school in the morning. I woke up this morning and it was still dark so I rolled over to make sure that I had my alarm set. I did, so I rolled back over. Then it hit me, what time did that say? Well I had never changed the time for my alarm back to what it needed to be now that school is back on. It was 24 minutes after I normally get up. I jumped up, got dressed and woke Evan up. He was very tired. He's been staying up late during the break so I think two straight mornings of getting up early got to him.
Evan said he wanted to walk to school. To get there on time, he was going to need to run like he did for Rachel yesterday. The only problem was that he was moving very slowly and not running. Evan is very competitive so I had to challenge him to a race. The two of us ran more than half of the way and we got to school on time.
When I got home, Noah was up. I got some breakfast for him. Rachel took him to school.
Rachel went for a run after dropping Noah off at school . Then she made a run to Sam's Club run. While there, she got a Roomba. The flooring people recommended that since the hardwood shows more dirt. They suggested just letting it run once a day or so. It seemed to pick things up well.
Noah stayed home while Rachel went to get Evan. He said he was tired.
When Evan got home, he thought the Roomba was really cool. He came up to tell me to look at it.
Tonight, we had planned a double date with our friends Will and Bradford. We had signed Evan and Noah up for a Parents' Night Out at the Little Gym. We dropped them off at 6:30 and met Will and Bradford at Z'Tejas downtown. We sat outside because it was in the 70s today. It was a beautiful night. The food was good. After that we walked to a bar called the Kung Fu Saloon. They have all these old arcade games there and free Skeeball. Will and I played some video games and played foosball as well.
We picked the boys up and are getting them ready for bed.

HEB and the Park
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning I woke up a bit before my alarm was supposed to go off. I waited until one minute before and turned the alarm off and got up. I was trying to make sure the alarm didn't wake Evan up. However, as I stood up he was walking into the room.
I showered, got dressed, and got Evan set up and went to work.
Rachel went for a run with the boys. She ran 3.1 miles today. She's trying not to over do it as she is running the half marathon this weekend in San Antonio.
The boys were very good on the run so she took the boys to the park "with the monkey bars". That's what Evan calls the Circle C park. Rachel said they were very well behaved there. Evan said he swung from the monkey bars.
Then she went to HEB. Again, Rachel said the boys were well-behaved. They got lots of samples. Unfortunately, as they were about to leave, the boys started to throw fits. I told Rachel we should time how long we are out one day until they have fits. I bet it's always the same amount of time. They're just like ticking time bombs.
They continued to give Rachel trouble at lunch once they were home.
Noah didn't take a nap.
Gabby came over to babysit while Rachel tutored.
I got home around 5:45 and started dinner for the boys. Noah had a Lunchable for dinner. It comes with ham in it. Noah asked Evan to cut it up for him. Evan went and got a kids knife out of the drawer and cut it for him acting like the big brother. I told Evan that was very nice. Noah added "And how!"
They're in bed right now. (Not asleep but do I actually have to type that?)

Wow, it’s cold!
So, here it is, our one cold week of the year. Typically we get about one cold week out of the year and the rest of the winter is pretty nice. Today it didn’t even get out of the 30s. Evan brought his heavy coat and mittens to school today.
For some reason Evan didn’t want to go to school this morning. When I was getting him dressed he told me he didn’t want to go and then at school he didn’t want to get out of the car. We talked about all the fun stuff he does at school and his friends there, but he kept saying he did not want to go. I told him I would stay and play with him for a little bit and that seemed to make him happier. I maybe stayed for about 15 minutes and he showed me the toys in his classroom. I tried to leave a couple of time and he wanted me to play more. Wendy got him to sit down and start painting. He seemed happy so I used that time to slip out the door. Evan seemed fine and happy when I picked him up.
I put Evan and Noah down for a nap around 2:00. Noah slept, but Evan did not. Blanca came at 3:00 and when Evan heard Blanca came in he asked for her through the monitor. When I left to tutor Blanca and Evan where playing upstairs. I wasn’t thinking and when I left I set the house alarm by accident. On my way to tutoring I got a call from the alarm company saying the house alarm went off. They asked if everything was ok. At that moment I realized what I must have done. Luckily Blanca knows the alarm code since she takes care of our house and pets when we are gone. I called her to make sure everything was ok and to apologize.
I came home around 8:00 and put Evan and Noah to bed. Evan threw a fit again about going to bed. He’s asleep now, but I’m sure he’s at his gate. We’ll have to put him back in bed when we go upstairs.
