Little Gym With Noah

This morning Noah and I went to Sam's Club.  We came home for just a little bit and then went to the Little Gym.  Noah had a good time.

I got a corned beef bagel sandwich for Morry at Wholly Bagel.and brought it home for him.  He had a lot of work to do today and couldn't come with us to the Little Gym.

Noah stayed at home while I got Evan from school.  Evan was in a good mood.

I tutored one student today at the library.

For dinner Morry and I had burgers.  The kids had various things including some fruit we got at Sam's Club today.

Evan finished his homework and read.  Noah helped me quiz Evan on his spelling words.  Noah would read the words aloud and Evan would spell them for us.

The boys are in their rooms now ready for bed.

School and Bird Houses

I had to wake Noah up for school today. Whenever that happens, it makes things tough. He didn't want to get dressed. I tried, but it was getting too hard to dress him. I just took him to school in his pajamas and got him dressed there. Evan was very good this morning.

While the kids were in school I got stuff done around the house.

When we got home from school the boys wanted to paint their bird houses. We went outside and I covered the little table with newspaper. Evan and Noah really enjoyed painting. All of the colors got mixed together and Evan's whole house is mostly a purplish color, but that's what he wanted. Once the houses dry we'll add some little wooden cutout decorations they picked out as well.

Evan and Noah got paint all over themselves, so I gave them baths as soon as we were done.

I tried putting Noah down for a nap, but he didn't sleep.

Blanca came at 3:45.

I tutored 2 students and got home about 7pm.

Morry and the boys were at Evan's baseball practice so I rushed and got dinner ready. They got home around 7:30 and we ate dinner. We had quinoa. Morry had pork tenderloin I had fish. Noah ate quite a bit of quinoa. Both Evan and Noah had bagels with jelly and some other stuff to go with it.

It's late and we need to put the boys to bed. They are finishing dinner while I write the blog.

DirecTV Messed up Again

This morning DirecTV was scheduled for 8-12 and the gutter guys were coming at 9:30am.

Around 8am I got a call saying the DirecTV guy was on his way. He got here about 30 minutes later. I had hope. Then, he was about to go up on our roof and I confirmed what we were having done. Supposedly we were getting a dish upgrade a SWIM line put in so that we could watch one thing and tape another. He said the SWIM line requires a full system upgrade of all the receivers in the house. He was told just to do a dish swap thinking we were having problems with our HD. GRRR. I’m glad I checked before he went up there. So, I spend another 2 hours on the phone with DirecTV this morning.

The gutter guys came to install our gutters right at the time they said.

I just can’t believe DirecTv can get by treating people so badly. After talking to multiple people and about to disconnect our service they finally offered us the deal I wanted for about half the price we were currently paying. We have to get a new account in my name and switch everything over. They are supposed to come again Friday between 12-4 and get everything hooked up. I’ll believe it when I see it. I just hope they can get all of this taken care of so I don’t have to spend any more time on the phone with them.

Evan and Noah were pretty good during all of this. It was a very chaotic morning though.

At least one thing went right. The gutters were completed around mid afternoon.

Noah went down for a nap once the gutters were done.

I spent the afternoon taking care of various things and getting stuff planned for Lauren’s shower.

I’m feeling a lot better, but still not 100%. Today really wore me out.

For dinner I just had mini bagels and soup. Morry made fried matzoh for him and the boys.

We just gave Evan and Noah baths and put them to bed.

JCC and Haircut

We had a busy day today.

For some reason Evan woke up at 7:15am. That’s early for him. I let him play in the gameroom while I lied down in bed some more. I didn’t truly go back to sleep. I know he’ll be ok in the gameroom, but I kept checking on him. I closed the bathroom doors and the gate at the top of the stairs.

Noah woke up around 9:00.

Once I got everyone dressed and fed we went to the JCC. We hadn’t been there in a while. Our normal playgroup is normally on Friday mornings. No one volunteered to host today. The playgroup is kind of fizzling since many kids are in pre-school and busy. Anyway, I decided to try the Tot Shabbat at the JCC again. Evan and Noah seemed to have a good time. Evan ate a lot of challah and juice. Noah enjoyed exploring the toys in the room. There were a lot of people there. I didn’t know anyone except for the lady that leads it. I talked to a few people.

After the JCC we went to the Great Clips near there. Evan and Noah really needed haircuts again. Great Clips is having a promotion. All haircuts are $6.99 and the deal ended today. We normally go to Great Clips, so I thought I might as well try to go today. It was busy in there and they told us the wait would be around 30 minutes. I put our names down and we went a few doors down to have lunch. The boys were very good at lunch. Evan and Noah shared a raisin bagel as well as other stuff from the diaper bag. I had lox and bagel. As we were about to leave I thought Noah had pooped so I wanted to change him. We went in the bathroom there. Luckily they had a changing table. I put Noah on the changing table. There was only pee in his diaper. I had his diaper off and was reaching across the table for the clean diaper. Noah started peeing. It went all over his socks, a little on his shorts that were at the end of the table, and on the table itself. The paper towels were on the other side of the bathroom. I couldn’t reach them. They were high up and the kind you have to wave your hand in front of to get the paper to come out. I had to ask Evan to get toilet paper for me. I cleaned up what I could with the toilet paper and then carried Noah over to the paper towels. What a mess!

After that we walked back to Great Clips. We had to wait just a minute and they were ready for us. Evan and Noah got good hair cuts and Evan got a lollipop.

When we got home Evan and Noah took very good naps.

When they woke up we Skyped with Grandma/Lynn. Evan was being very silly. Noah was excited, but kept saying “Papa” for some reason.

Morry got home from work and then we went out to dinner. We ate at Carinos. This week they were having “Moms eat free”. We thought it would be a good place anyway since the boys like pasta. We had to wait about 30 minutes for a table. Evan and Noah were very good and ate well. They had stuff from the diaper bag, bread, and spaghetti.

After that we went to Petco. We needed to get more food for Lizzy. Evan and Noah love Petco. They had a great time there. Evan loves looking at the fish. They both liked the mice and birds too.

We just put Evan and Noah to bed. Let’s hope they sleep well tonight.

Lots of things on a nice day

Today was a busy day. We did a lot today.

This morning we met Liz, my Spanish teacher friend from West Ridge Middle School. We met her for brunch/lunch at Panera’s. It was a little cold when we first got there so we sat inside. Evan and Noah were very well behaved. Noah ate almost the whole time. I got a blueberry muffin for Evan. It was pretty big. He ate half of it and Noah ate the rest. Noah also ate some of Liz’s bagel, applesauce, and fruit. After we ate we went out to the restaurant’s patio. Evan and Noah enjoyed running and crawling around the patio. It gave Liz and I a little bit of a chance to talk.

After Panera’s we met Alissa, Ben, and Molly at the Circle C Park. When we first got there we saw a man walking a dog that looked sort of like Lizzy. I’m pretty sure Noah said “Lizzy” when we saw the dog. We were there a long time. The weather was great and the kids were playing well and having a good time. We stayed at the park until about 2:00. When we got home both boys were exhausted and took good naps.

Morry met a friend for dinner. One of his friends since elementary school is in town for the South by Southwest festival. Morry went straight from work to meet his friend.

Evan, Noah, and I ate dinner at home. I made mac and cheese for Evan. Noah didn’t eat much. He ended up throwing a lot of his food on the floor.

I needed to go to HEB today. We were out of milk for Evan and we needed some other things. By the time we were able to leave the house it was about 8:00. Evan and Noah were very good at HEB. I let Evan walk next to me and he did very well.

When we got home about 9:00 Morry was home and he helped unload the car and put the groceries away. Then, we put the boys to bed.
