Cold Football Practice

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Rachel and I were debating last night whether they boys would have school today.  They were predicting rain overnight and into this morning and temperatures around freezing.  We lucked out and it didn't rain.  We still drove the kids to the trail and walked down.

I worked from home all morning and then Rachel and I went to Wholy Bagel.  I think the cold and potential bad weather kept a lot of people away.  It wasn't very crowded.

We drove to pick up the boys.  It started to sprinkle but never amounted to much.

At 4:30, Evan had football practice.  It was about 34 or 35 degrees out and windy.  We both bundled up and went.  Evan did very well.  He seemed to enjoy it also.  I have been working with the kids on defense - how to pull flags and how to cover someone.

When we were done, we drove home and picked Rachel and Noah up and went to Chipotle.  Both kids ate very well there.

We came home and the boys are getting ready for bed.

Until next time...

Basketball and Zayde

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Evan had an early basketball game today at 8am.  We stopped at Donut Taco Palace I before the game and got donuts.  That seemed to perk Evan up.  He still is not feeling 100%.  Evan seemed to play better as the game went on.  He and his team played really great defense the whole game and won again.  Evan grabbed a great rebound and somehow ended up on his back. Then he made a pass while laying on the ground.  It was a very athletic play.

From there, we came home and Evan played more basketball with Nathan in the cul-de-sac.  He started getting tired and we agreed to go home and take it easy.  I put a movie on while the boys ate lunch.  Evan developed a cough at the end of his stomach bug.

It seemed to get bad this afternoon.  I'm not sure why.  We had him sit in the shower for a while.

For dinner, we were going to pick Zayde up and go to a Colombian restaurant, but due to a kitchen fire it was closed.  We went to Texas Roadhouse again.  Evan was acting ok, but the moment we got to the restaurant, he started to complain about not feeling well and refused to eat.  He wanted to go home.  The food was very good tonight.

When taking Zayde home, we saw a 7-Eleven.  Evan wanted a Slurpee.  So we stopped and got he and Noah Slurpees.  After that we dropped Zayde off at his house.

It seems that the Slurpee did wonders for Evan.  He was in a good mood by the time we got home.  I think in general he's not feeling well, but I think he actually needed food to eat as well.  He can get cranky when he's hungry.

The boys are in bed now.

Until next time...
