Noah's school party

I took Noah to school today and then ate breakfast with Evan.  I decided to take it easy today and not run since we did hot Yoga last night.

Evan went to his friend Ben's house at 10:30.  While Evan was there I got some things done around the house.

Morry and I went to Noah's end of school party at noon.  They had food for the kids and adults from Chick-Fil-A.

After school we all went to pick up Evan from Ben's house.

Morry took the boys outside to play baseball before dinner.

For dinner we had Coke ham and rice.  Noah liked the ham. Evan wouldn't try it.

After dinner we went to Sweet Caroline's for shaved ice.

The boys are in bed now.

Star Wars

This morning Noah, Lizzy, and I went for a walk.

I gave Noah lunch at home, but he didn't eat very much. He was acting ok though.

Noah loves his sports class. He really looks forward to it. He started talking about this morning after waking up. He had a good time today and waved to us several times while he was in the gym.

After sports class we went to Target and then picked up Evan from school.

Evan's friend Ben came over to play for a little while after school.

While Morry and I got dinner ready Evan and Noah cleaned up the game room and Evan's room. It was a mess.

After dinner Morry took the boys to see Star Wars at the movie theater.

They are there now and should be coming home soon.

Evan doesn't have school tomorrow, but Noah does.

Early Morning

Morry left for the airport early this morning, around 6am. About 6:20am Evan came in my room and was upset that Daddy was already gone. He wanted to go to the airport to drop him off. We had talked about that, but Noah didn't want to wake up that early. If we woke him up early anyway he would have been very cranky today.

I had to bring both boys to school this morning. Noah gave me a hard time because he didn't walk from the car to the school. I had to carry him both ways on the path.

Before sports class we stopped at the bank. After sports class we went to Target. Noah was good.

At Target I bought 2 bags of popped popcorn for the boys for snacks.

We picked up Evan at school and then brought him to Ben's house. I picked Evan up at 5pm.

When we got home the neighborhood kids were playing in our yard so Evan went out there to play with them.

Around 6pm all the kids went home and Evan came inside. I started getting dinner ready.

I realized Evan wasn't downstairs with us and when I called for him he didn't answer. I got a little nervous that he wasn't answering me. I went upstairs to his room. He had put his music on and was asleep in his bed. I had a hard time waking him up. I was worried that something was wrong at first. He was extremely cranky and was crying the whole time Noah and I were eating dinner. Finally, towards the end of dinner Evan started feeling better and then ate his dinner.

I just got the boys ready for bed and they are both in their rooms now. Evan read a book to us. It was called "Who am I", for beginning readers.

Popcorn

This morning I went for a 3 mile run with Noah and Lizzy. Lizzy was really dragging towards the end. I'm wondering if it's ok for her to be running with me. I know she needs the exercise.

Today was some national Popcorn Day. So, this popcorn store was having a free tasting and bag of popcorn deal. Noah and I went over there. It is on the Drag so parking was tough. I finally got a spot in their parking lot, but I had to wait for someone to leave. Noah liked tasting the different popcorns, but surprisingly he didn't really like the sweet ones, just the salty ones. We got a free bag of cheddar popcorn and I bought a small bag of chocolate/cherry popcorn.

After that we went to Noah's sports class. The last 15 minutes they had the parents come in so the kids could show us what they have been learning. Noah was so excited to have us in there with him.

We came home for a few minutes and then I picked up Evan from school. After school I dropped Evan off at Ben's house for a planned play date. It sounds like they had a good time. Evan rode his scooter with Ben in their cul-de-sac.

This afternoon we had the kids clean up.

For dinner I made a frittata and roasted garlic with bread.

After dinner I helped Evan with his homework. He had to write 3 sentences. One with an -ed verb, one with an -ing verb, and then one with both types of verbs.

I had a last minute tutoring scheduled for 8pm, so Morry put the kids to bed.

Hoppin'

This morning we met Evan's friend Ben (and his mom and sister) at Hoppin' House. It's one of those indoor bounce/playground places. We stayed there for about 2 hours. Evan and Noah had fun and were going pretty much non-stop.

After that we went over to Tuesday Morning to pick up a few gifts. I don't normally shop there, but there was one in the same shopping center and it didn't look too crowded.

We ate lunch at home and then I got some things done around the house. I also went to the bank and to pick up smoothies.

Morry got the stomach bug today and wasn't feeling so good. He seems a little better tonight.

We did Hanukkah and the kids got more gifts.

For dinner, just the boys and I ate. Morry didn't feel like eating anything.

Tonight we had clean up night.

Morry is getting the boys ready for bed now.

Sports Class and Evan's Friend

Today was a typical Thursday for most part. Noah and I hung out at home in the morning. I wanted to walk or run but it was raining pretty much all morning.

I got some cleaning done around the house.

At 12:30 Morry, Noah, and I went to Sports Class. Noah had fun, like always.

We came home for just a little bit and then went to get Evan. We parked at the trail and walked even though it was misting. I knew the front of the school would be crowded.

After school Evan's friend Ben came over to play. At first the boys were pretty mellow. They watched TV and ate their snacks upstairs. Then, they got a second wind and were running around. They were good, but just really active. Ben's mom came around 5:30 to pick him up.

For dinner we had tortilla soup and pasta.

Tonight was clean up night. Noah cleaned up well, but Evan was crying a lot because I put his Legos away. I didn't take apart anything. I just put them all in the box. He was upset for some reason.

The boys have been put to bed, but I hear Noah talking upstairs to Morry.
