Fried Rice

Tuesday:  I tutored in the morning and then again in the afternoon.  Noah met with Grandma for Hebrew.  We had flank steak for dinner.

Wednesday: Yesterday we got a cold front and it was pretty cold teaching outside.  For both classes, I taught the lesson and then let the kids go inside to work on homework.

During my break, I normally walk, but yesterday I did a little work inside and went to Whole Foods to pick up a few things.

I tutored in the morning and then again in the afternoon.

Evan had baseball from 6-9 and got a ride with Ethan.

For dinner, Morry made dirty rice.

Today: The high was in the 30s and it was supposed to rain a lot, so my school switched to virtual classes.  I  tutored in the morning and then taught my two classes online.

Later in the afternoon, I tutored from 3:30-7:15.

Morry made fried rice for dinner.  Everyone likes his fried rice and there weren't any leftovers.

We just finished cleaning up and then we will sit down to watch some TV.

Chewie Training

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning was a bit hectic as there was an issue with getting insurance documents from a patient.  I was working with my tech team to trying to understand what was going on.

Rachel tutored before she went into the school to teach.

While I was making lunch for the boys, the trainer came to work with Chewie.  She's working with him to not get "triggered" by the garage door and the door from the garage into the house.  By that I mean, he gets especially excited when he sees the garage door open because he knows he's going for a walk.  So she spent about 50 minutes with him opening the door and closing the door, etc...  It's good for Chewie.

In the afternoon, Rachel came home and laid down for a bit and then she tutored the rest of the afternoon.  She and Evan left around 5:45 as Evan catching practice and then he was catching bullpen sessions.  Rachel tutors out there so she brings him, tutors him, then picks him up.

For dinner, I made a spicy grilled shrimp which Evan and Rachel had and dirty rice for Noah and me.

The boys are upstairs playing and Rachel and I are about to sit down.

Until next time...

Outdoorsy Day

 This morning I tutored on Zoom from 8:15am -9 and then went to my school.  

I was there from 10am - 2pm.  I have a two-hour break from 11-1 each Wednesday and Friday.  During that time today, I went for a run on the trails near the school.

Here are a few pictures.

When I came home Morry was heating up Evan's chicken for lunch.

At 4:45pm I tutored on Zoom and then took Evan to his baseball practice.

From there, I went to tutor in-person at a nearby house.  This family lives right on the lake.  We sit outside on their covered porch with a view of the lake.  Not bad!

When Evan and I got home, we all had dinner. Morry made dirty rice and shrimp.

The new Playstation is available on pre-order now and Noah's been trying all night to try to order one.  The websites for Target and Amazon are slow now with everyone trying to buy one.  I'm not sure if was able to get one or not.  I'll find out tomorrow.

Rainy Sunday

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning, Evan came in the room at about 7:30. I got him breakfast and set him up watching the Clone Wars on TV. A short while later he came back in the room. Neither Rachel nor I would come out with him and he ended up laying down on the floor and falling asleep. When Grandma and Papa got up, he went downstairs with him, while Rachel and I stayed in bed for a bit trying to catch up on some sleep.

Grandma and Papa went back to Dallas as I was making lunch. For lunch, I made us pancakes. For Evan and Rachel I made blueberry pancakes although Evan finished all his blueberry pancakes and wanted some plain pancakes. Evan actually ate more pancakes than Rachel. I gave Noah a half of a pancake. Instead of syrup I put on powdered sugar. Noah just ate all the powdered sugar off of the pancakes.

After lunch, we had Evan read a set of words and phrases that Zayde had put together for Evan. You can see the video if you scroll to the bottom of this blog. Evan is doing very well at reading. We'll have to work with him even more.

Noah took a good nap but Evan didn't sleep that long. He came downstairs and made us watch a Superman cartoon over and over. We shared some tortilla chips.

For dinner, Rachel had some leftovers while I made dirty rice for Evan, Noah and me. Evan got upset because there was meat in the dirty rice. I explained to him that's what made the rice dirty. He ended up making me pick out the meat for him. He did eat the rice though. Noah had some. Noah also ate a hot dog while Evan ate some leftover shrimp that I had made for him last night.

We gave the boys baths and put them back in separate rooms. Evan was not well behaved last night so we told him he had to go back in his room. Neither boy was happy. We'll see how they behave tonight.

Until next time...
