Walk, HEB, and Walk

Last night when Morry was going though some of his stuff he found Simpson's Shrinky Dinks that he got a few years ago. This morning Evan and I made some Shrinky Dinks. We colored a Bart Simpson and I also wrote his name for him to color. He enjoyed watching the Shrinky Dinks curl up and shrink, but after that he wasn’t too interested.

This morning we walked around the neighborhood. It was a little cool and we felt a few rain drops, but it never actually rained.

After the walk we went to HEB. I let Evan walk while Noah sat in the cart. Evan kept asking for samples and he knew exactly where to go. They normally have samples in the bakery and deli area. There weren’t many samples out today, but they did have some apple streusel thing that both boys ate. Evan also had some chunks of cheese samples and crackers in the deli section. The boys were good while I shopped. I got what I needed and saved $10 in coupons.

After HEB we came home and ate lunch. Evan didn’t eat much. All he ate was Alphabits cereal we bought at HEB today. He had 2 bowls – one without milk and one with. At least he ate something.

Evan and Noah took good naps.

While they were napping I gave Lizzy a trim. She was getting pretty fluffy.

Evan and Noah woke up around the time Morry came home.

For dinner we had HEB sliced turkey breast and an Asian pasta boxed dinner thing. We ate outside again.

After dinner we went for another walk. This time Evan rode his bike. At the start of our walk we saw Billy and Jan (our neighbors) outside so we talked to them for a little while. Then, we walked around the block.

The boys are playing and when I finish the blog we’ll go upstairs to put them to bed.

Playgroup at our house

This morning we had playgroup at our house. I was busy this morning getting last minute stuff made and put out on the table. The playgroup went well. One of the moms is pregnant and due December 27 so we had a little shower for her as well. The kids played well together. Noah started crying at one point. I knew he wasn’t hungry since I just fed him. I though he was probably tired. I was standing up holding him and a few minutes later he fell asleep on me. I ended up sitting down for a little while so he could get a nap in. Evan ate a ton of cookies. There were leftover cookies from cookie decorating at school yesterday so I put them out on the table. Every time I turned around Evan was getting another cookie. Normally I wouldn’t let him eat so many, but on playgroup days I tend to be a little more relaxed.

We ordered an entertainment center to hold our new TV and it was scheduled to be delivered today between 12:30 and 4:30. I put Noah down for a nap a little before 3, but Evan was still up playing while I cleaned up from playgroup. At about 3:00 the men from Lacks came to deliver and set it up. Evan was very interested in the big truck. I took him outside to look at it. While we were outside Evan looked into the upstairs window and saw Lizzy. He thought it was funny that Lizzy was looking out the window at the truck and he wanted to go upstairs too and look out the window.

It was about 3:30 by the time I took Evan to his room for a nap. He never slept. It got quiet at times, but I don’t think he was sleeping.

For dinner we went to Suzy’s (Chinese). Both Evan and Noah ate a bunch of edamame.

We just gave the boys a bath and put them to bed. I hope they sleep well tonight since we have a big day tomorrow. The train ride is at 3:00, so most likely they will not get naps tomorrow.
