Back to the gym

Today was the first in a while that I went to the gym to work out. After dropping Evan off at school I took Noah with me to the gym. I took it somewhat easy today. I walked on the treadmill and did some exercises in the pool. Noah cried when I dropped him off but he seemed fine when I picked him up.

On the way home Noah and I stopped at Wholly Bagels to pick up some bagels to have at home. Noah insisted on getting a bag of Doritos for him to eat in the car.

We had lunch at home and then got Evan at school.

Noah would not nap today and was being very needy. I couldn’t even rest. He demanded a lot of attention.

For dinner Morry made a beef fried rice and I made some Asian vegetables for me to have with it.

We just put Evan and Noah to bed, but they are both still awake.

Hanging out with Aunt Susan

This morning Aunt Susan came over to help me out with the boys. We hung out at the house for a little bit and then went to the park. It was nice getting out of the house. I probably couldn’t have gone to the park by myself with the boys. Noah wanted to be on the playground so Aunt Susan stayed with him. I went with Evan over to the basketball court. Evan enjoyed throwing a tennis ball into the basketball hoop. He actually got it in there quite a few times.

After the park we went to Subway to pick up lunch. Evan and Noah both picked out Doritos to bring home. Aunt Susan and I ate our Subway sandwiches at home. Evan and Noah had their chips and yogurt with fruit.

Aunt Susan stayed to help me put the boys down for naps and then she went home.

Before dinner we had a few visitors at the house. Rita and Blanca came over to give presents to Evan and Noah. They got some cute books, one of which was a Toy Story one. Bernardo, Gabriela, and Sebastian also came over. Bernardo makes healthy juices at home and he brought some over for me to try. He made one with apples, carrots, and lemons. It was actually really good. Also, a mom from the mom’s club came over to drop off dinner as well.

We just put the boys to bed. They are both still making noises.

Drenched

Last night Noah was up several times throughout the night. I was exhausted this morning. Luckily, Morry was home and got Evan set up with a movie and breakfast so that I could sleep a little bit.

When I got up I called Noah’s doctor and made an appointment to get him checked out. He has had a cold for about a week now and since he was up so many times last night, I wanted to get him in to see a doctor.

I dropped Evan off at school. Noah and I came back home for a little bit and then we went to his doctor appointment. The doctor believes he just has a cold. She suggested we get some kids Mucinex for him. She said if he’s not getting better by Monday or Tuesday he may have a sinus infection. It’s just too early to tell yet. His ears and chest seemed ok.

We came back home and ate lunch. Then, we went to pick up Evan. On the way to school it was threatening to rain. As we walked into the building it was raining a little bit. But then, when it was time to leave it was pouring. The boys and I go drenched! They both thought it was really funny. When we got home I let them watch the rain and then got them some dry clothes.

Evan and Noah both took good naps.

For dinner, Evan, Noah, and I picked up food at Subway. Morry was out for a going away party for someone at his old work. At Subway, Evan and Noah picked out their own bags of chips. Evan chose Doritos and Noah picked the Cheetos. I filled up my cup with orange Fanta and was reaching to the other side to get a lid when Noah grabbed a hold of the open, filled cup. He was standing and the drink was slightly above him. It was all over his head and body. He was screaming. His whole body was orange. I had to take off his shirt before we got in the car. I apologized to the people working there. The guy seemed to understand. He said he also had a small child. He gave Noah a little toy from a kids meal to play with.

We ate our dinner at home and as I was finishing Evan told me there was pee pee on the tile. He had peed through his clothes and all over the bathroom tile somehow. I started the shower and threw both boys in. That was about the time Morry got home.

Evan and Noah are in their pajamas now. Evan’s watching the Steelers game with Morry. Noah’s playing/ getting into trouble.
