Instant Winner!

This morning Noah and I mostly stayed at home.

Noah had a playdate at Cole's house at 12:30. Before going to Cole's we stopped at the bank and then HEB. When Noah put his Buddy Buck in the machine he got "instant winner". We went to the customer service desk and he got to pick out a prize. This is the second time he's gotten that. He picked out a Go Fish game. Noah was very excited.

Noah had a great time at Cole's house. Cole's mom said they played very well together.

I picked up Noah from Cole's and then picked up Evan from school. We parked at the trail and even the short walk was pretty cold. Noah and I both had our hats, gloves/mittens, and coats on. Evan put his gear on on the walk back to the car. I think it was about 40 degrees. That's cold for us.

Morry left for California tonight. He's going to an HTML conference for a couple of days.

I had to tutor and Blanca wasn't available to babysit. I dropped the boys off at Clubhouse for Kids. I brought dinner for them to eat there.

When I picked them up we went to the mall. I ordered some shoes from Finish Line online, but they didn't fit so I needed to return them. While we were there the boys talked me into letting them ride the train and getting cookies.

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

Instant Winner

This morning I got some stuff done around the house and the boys played outside some.

We went to HEB. HEB gives kids Buddy Bucks that they put in a machine with a spinner. The spinner determines how many points the kids get. Points can be saved up for prizes. Well, today Noah landed on "Instant Winner". That has never happened before. You would have thought we won the lottery or something. The boys were jumping up and down. I asked an employee and they said we needed to go to customer service to claim the prize. Noah got to pick between a few little toys and he chose Silly Bandz (those rubber band bracelets). As we were going to the car Evan started throwing a fit because he wanted to be an instant winner and get a prize too. As much as I tried to reason with him, it didn't seem to help. It took a while to leave the parking lot. Evan was still throwing a fit when we got home. He was being so bad I had to put him in his room for a while.

Grandma, Papa, and Bubbe got here around 2:30. The boys were so excited to see them. They spent most of the afternoon outside in the backyard.

For dinner we ate at Mandola's.

I got the boys ready for bed while Morry and Papa/Lenny/Dad went to Home Depot.
