Bird House Completion

This morning I was able to get Evan and Noah dressed and ready to go to school at a reasonable time. I thought I'd walk/run with them (in the stroller) to school. As soon as it came time to go in the stroller Noah threw a fit. I had a hard time getting him buckled and then he kicked off his shoes. We still walked to school anyway. I ran there and back. It's a little over 3 miles round trip. Noah threw another fit when we got to the building. He didn't want to go to his classroom first, but we went there first anyway.

I had a hair appointment that was supposed to be at 9:30. I didn't get a confirmation yesterday, so I called. Somehow my appointment got deleted. The women remembered talking to me and couldn't figure out what had happened. They offered to schedule me at 10:45, but I was worried about timing. I wasn't sure I would be done in time to pick up the boys. Morry offered to pick them up if I needed. Luckily Morry was able to leave work and get Evan and Noah. I didn't get home until around 1:40pm.

When I got home Morry went back to work.

We filled the bird houses with bird seed and the boys picked where they wanted me to hang them. We'll see if any birds want to hang out in the fancy bird castles.

I tried putting Noah down for a nap, but he just played in his room.

Gabby came at 4pm and I tutored.

When I got home we made dinner. Morry and I had a PF Changs frozen meal that you heat up on the stove.

We just put the boys to bed.

Here's a video of the boys making their bird houses.

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.

Back on Schedule

This morning I took the boys with me to the gym. I did the cardio kickboxing class and then we left after that. The child care was very crowded today. AISD didn't have school today.

After the gym we went to Michael's to get some art projects. I thought the boys would have fun doing some art at home. We picked out birdhouses to paint and a few other things. I also bought some iron on patches. Almost all of Evan's pants have holes in them.

After Michael's we went to Sprouts to get some groceries for the week.

We came home and the boys played and ate lunch outside.

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

Gabby came at 4pm.

I tutored one student, came back home for dinner, and left again after dinner to tutor another student. For dinner we just had some leftover chicken and potatoes we had in the freezer.

When I got home the boys were ready for bed. Noah was asleep and Evan was playing in the hall.
