Evan woke up at 7:20am today, a littler later than normal. Morry had already left the house for work so I got Evan set up in the gameroom.
Once the boys were fed and dressed we went to Southpark Meadows for some shopping.
First, we went over to Marshall's. I tried to find a printable coupon for Marshalls before we went out there, but didn't have any luck. At the store I was able to get 2 cute sandals for Evan and Noah for just $15. They both have really wide feet and we normally have to shop at higher end stores like Stride Rite. I was really happy to find these cheap and cute shoes that also fit their feet. I went there looking for dress shoes for Evan, but didn’t have any luck.
Then, we went to Carters. Almost everything in the store was on sale. Sweatshirts were 60% off. Most of the other items I bought were at least 50% off as well. Then, I hit the clearance rack and found a few shorts for $1.50! Evan and Noah had a great time playing with the toys in the store while I shopped. For most of the time we were the only customers in there. I brought my $10 off $50 printable coupon. My total was going to be over $100. I saw a coupon for 20% off but it expired 8/25. I thought I might as well ask, and sure enough the checker allowed me to use it. Yea!
Then we went to Target and of course I had a bunch of coupons there too.
The boys were very good while we were shopping. It was a successful trip.
At home they ate a little bit for lunch and then I put Evan and Noah down for naps. They both napped. Noah slept for 2 hours and Evan slept for 3 hours.
For dinner we had pork tenderloin and mashed potatoes.
After dinner we introduced Evan to his new behavior chart. I got posterboard at Target the other day and finally today I was able to make the chart. We will reward him with stickers and take them away if he misbehaves. After a certain amount he will get certain rewards. His first reward will be a trip to Target (or wherever) to pick out a matchbox or hot wheels car. He needs to get to square 26 to get the car. Evan earned 2 stickers today. We’ll see how this goes.
I’m about to go out with Alissa. We’ll go downtown for a little bit.
Noah is in bed now and Evan is still up. Morry’s in his room now trying to get him to sleep.

Playgroup and Target
Evan woke up while Morry was getting ready for work, so Morry put a movie on for Evan and fed him breakfast.
This morning we had playgroup. Today’s playgroup was at a house where 2 boys live. Evan and Noah had the best time. They had a lot of boy stuff there. Evan did not want to leave.
After playgroup we went to Target. I was able to get a lot of free stuff (after coupons) and clearance items. It was a successful trip.
For lunch Evan wanted macaroni and cheese. I was a little hesitant to make it, since the last few times we have offered it to him, he hasn’t eaten it. But today, he ate a lot of it. I was glad he had a good lunch. Noah, like always, didn’t eat that much though.
Evan and Noah took nice, long naps this afternoon.
Morry got home around 7pm and we left to go out to dinner. I had one a free meal at Joe’s Crab Shack so we went there. Evan and I shared shrimp and crab. He ate quite a lot. Noah enjoyed the mozzarella sticks appetizer we got.
Before we left the restaurant we went on the patio and looked at the lake and birds on the water.
We just put Evan and Noah to bed.

Playgroup and Target
This morning Evan woke up early and watched a movie until I got up.
We had playgroup this morning. Evan, Noah, and I had a nice time. Evan and Noah played with the toys and I got to talk some with the other moms. We stayed at playgroup until about 12:30.
I took the boys to Target. I had a few things to return and I heard they had a good toy clearance sale. We got some toys including a Buzz Lightyear kite for $2.
After Target we came home and ate lunch.
Then, I put Evan and Noah down for naps. They both slept really well.
For dinner we went to Tony C’s Pizza in the Hill Country Galleria. We had to wait a while for our food, but it was good. As we were getting ready to leave, it started pouring down rain. Morry had to run and get the car and then pick us up outside the restaurant.
When we got home we cleaned up the toys downstairs and went upstairs to get Evan and Noah ready for bed. Noah is in bed now, but Evan is still up stalling. He keeps saying he needs to potty, but doesn’t go.

Newflower at Night
Evan woke up crying for Morry around 6am. Morry got Evan set up in the game room and left for work. Evan came in our bedroom around 8am.
Once Noah got up and I got the boys dressed I took them for a run. It was very humid outside. That was a hard run. It seemed like it was going to rain, but we only got a few sprinkles later in the day.
Blanca came over at 10am. While she was here I went out to lunch with Melissa and ran a few errands. I went over to Famous Footwear to return some shoes we bought online. I also stopped by Old Navy. They were having a clearance sale where everything on clearance was an additional 50% off. I got some stuff for Morry and me, but the boys section was pretty picked over. I only got a pair of jeans for Evan.
When I got home around 2:00 I put Evan and Noah down for naps. They both slept well.
For dinner we made pasta.
After dinner we went over to Newflower. We needed some fruit and other groceries for the next few days. Evan and Noah were good there and enjoyed getting their free cookie. Noah managed to get his cookie all over his face and shirt.
When we got home Rita (Blanca’s mom) was outside. She came over and talked to us for a little bit in the driveway. Noah even let her hold him.
We came in, put the groceries away, and then gave the boys baths. They are now in bed and it seems to be quiet.

Long Day
Evan woke up early again this morning. Morry got him set up in the gameroom. I stayed in bed for a little bit and then dressed Evan and Noah and got them breakfast.
I dropped Evan off at school and Noah and I went to Randall’s. Normally, I don’t do my grocery shopping there, but a couple of moms told me they save a lot of money there, especially when they use coupons. So, I thought I’d try it out again. I was not impressed. There were just a few things on clearance that were really cheap, but the rest was more expensive than HEB, even with the coupons.
Noah and I came home and ate lunch then picked up Evan.
I put the boys down for naps, but only Evan slept. For some reason, Noah did not want to nap. I had to make some calls and emails this afternoon and that was very hard to do with Noah awake. He was getting into everything. He kept opening the refrigerator. Then, he would take handfuls of Lizzy’s food and bring them over to her. On the way over he managed to drop a lot of the food on the floor.
Since Morry and I were both tired, we decided just to pick up food for dinner. We placed an order with Blue Bamboo and Morry went to pick it up for us.
After dinner we took a short walk around the block.
The boys just had baths and now they are in bed.
