Noah Bear is 5!

Today is Noah's 5th birthday.  Noah has been really exited about his birthday.  He was in a great mood this morning and couldn't wait to get to school.

After I dropped him off I went to a therapy massage, then to Walmart to get a pinata, and Sams Club to get cupcakes.

I came to Noah's class after lunch with cupcakes and little sherbet cups for the kids.

Noah and I came home for a little bit.  He enjoyed filling the pinata with candy.

Gabby came over and I left to tutor.

When Morry got home he shortly left with the boys to go to Noah's baseball game.

I met them at Noah's game after my tutoring.

Noah had a good game.  They won.  After the game we passed out baseball cupcakes to the kids and had them hit the pinata.

From there, we went Logan's Roadhouse for dinner.   That was Noah's choice.  The kids were good at dinner.

At home, Noah and Evan opened presents, since the ones we had were for both kids.  They loved all of their gifts.

They are now ready for  bed and in their rooms, but not asleep yet.

Noah's choice

This morning we had someone come to our house to measure the floors. Hopefully we get the bid from them soon.

Morry worked from home today.,

Noah went to Clubhouse for Kids so I could get some stuff done. I told him that he could choose what he wanted to do when I picked him up. He chose to get smoothies and go to the playground.

Then, we had sports class. Noah enjoyed playing golf in class today.

After the class, we walked over to a toy store to look for a birthday present for tomorrow. Noah and Evan are invited to a birthday party tomorrow afternoon. It was a fun toy store. They had different toys than your normally see at Target or Walmart. I let Noah pick out one small toy for him and Evan to share. Of course, he chose Legos.

We had just a few minutes at home and then we left to pick up Evan.

When we got home both boys were pretty cranky and were fighting over the new Lego toy, even though they could have played with it together.

Noah ended up falling asleep at nap time.

While Noah napped Evan and I worked on his Perry scrapbook. Since he brought home Perry (the class stuffed dinosaur) last weekend we were supposed to add a few pages to the scrapbook about what Perry did over the weekend. I did most of the work, but Evan picked out some pictures and decided how I should cut them.

For dinner we had hamburger, salmon, and potatoes.

Tonight was clean up night and boys were fighting and throwing fits. They eventually did clean up.

Evan and Noah are in bed now and it seems to be quiet.

The Return of Shmevan

I thought this morning was going pretty well. I avoided conflict with Evan and we were about to head out the door to go to school.  Evan started complaining that his stomach hurt and didn’t want to go to school.  I was pretty sure his stomach didn’t hurt.  He started throwing a massive fit.  I set the timer for 2 minutes and said we’d leave at that time.  I had a very hard time getting him in the car and buckled in his seat.  He was screaming and crying.  He kicked off his shoes and was still crying at school.  I couldn’t get his shoes back on so I had to carry him into school.  He wasn’t calming down. He was holding on to me and wanted me to carry him in his classroom.  I sat with him for a while during circle time and then went out with all the kids for the Easter egg hunt.  As soon as we got outside he was fine.  He was running around with his buddies having a great time.

I was really worn out from the whole morning.

Grandmom/Marilyn took care of Noah while I was gone.

A little while after coming home we left to meet Morry for lunch.  We ate at Which Wich.   We stopped at the bank on the way home.  I dropped Noah and Grandmom off at home and the picked up Evan from school.

When Evan got home he shared his Easter eggs with Noah. Each one opened one egg and ate the candy inside.

I scheduled my implant surgery.  It’s going to be on April 23 in Dallas. I’m not looking forward to another surgery, but am glad to get it over with.

At nap time Noah slept and Evan played in the game room with the new birthday toys they got from Allen and Thomas today.

For dinner we went out to eat at Kerbey lane.  Evan and Noah got cherry pancakes.  Evan ate a lot of his, but I don’t think Noah even had a bite of his.

We just put the boys to bed.

Mini Vans

This morning Evan woke up about 8:30 (late for him). Noah and I dropped off Evan at school and then came home. Gabby came to the house at 10:45 so that I could meet Morry.

Morry and I thought we would just check out a few mini vans and see what our options are. We are happy with our Pilot, but at times it would be nice to have a mini van. We went to both Toyota and Honda. Morry liked the Toyota Sienna better and I preferred the Honda Odyssey. We aren’t ready to buy anything yet. It could even be a few more years. We just wanted to take a look. I’m not sure if I’m ready to be driving a mini-van.

I picked Evan up from school on the way home. Evan and Noah played with Gabby outside while I ate lunch. Gabby helped me put Noah down for his nap and then she left. Evan watched TV in the game room so that I could rest a little.

For dinner we had pasta.

After dinner we went to Target. We needed to get a few things including birthday presents for the boys. Evan was pretty bad there. He wanted everything on the shelf and wasn’t listening to us. It seemed like he was throwing a fit for no reason. He’s very tired.

We just put Evan and Noah to bed. Evan is crying in his room right now. I’m not sure what he wants.

I just went up to Evan’s room. He was crying that he wanted his pacifier, which was on the window sill where he threw it earlier. I got it for him, then he got upset because he wanted Daddy to get it for him.
