Our Tuesday

This morning Evan was up super early, at 5:45am.  He came downstairs and played wii until it was time for school.

Noah woke up around 9am.   I wanted to take a walk at the lake, but he didn't want that and I didn't feel like fighting.  Instead we walked around the block.  Noah talked the whole time, like usual.

Around noon Cole came over.  Noah and Cole play so well together.  They had lots of fun.

I got Evan from school.

Blanca came over and I left to tutor.

When I got home Morry and the boys were doing Face Time with Grandma and Papa.

For dinner we had an asian frozen dinner.

The boys are in the shower now and then we'll get them ready for bed.

Early Noah

This morning Noah woke up around 7am. Normally he is not up at that time. Morry and Noah took Evan to school. It was pretty cold this morning.

After I dropped off Noah at school I went for a run. It was cold at the start, but then I was warm by the end. It was in the upper 50s at that time.

When I picked up Noah at school he told me he wanted Cole to come over. I said he couldn't come today, but I could ask him mom about coming tomorrow. When I emailed Cole's mom to set up a playdate she said Cole was also talking to her about having Noah over. They must have discussed it at school. Cole is going to come over to our house tomorrow morning.

Evan had a good day. He was happy at pickup.

Gabby came over at 4pm and I tutored.

Morry took Lizzy to the vet for a checkup. Everything looked good.

For dinner Morry had hamburger and I had fish.

We just gave the boys baths and now Morry is reading to them.

Early Start

Evan needed to be at his football game at 8:30am this morning. I got up really early to get in a run before we needed to leave. I met a friend and ran 8 miles this morning.

We all went to Evan's football game. Evan was sort of sluggish today. I think he was tired.

After the game we came home for a little bit. The boys played outside while Morry did some work.

Around 3pm we headed over to the first flooring place to look once more at the two different samples we had picked out. They were both pretty similar. We are waiting for one more big and then will decide which place to go with.

On the way home we got Slurpees from 7-11 and got food for Lizzy.

The boys were pretty cranky and fighting a lot this afternoon. We decided to eat dinner at home and then get ice cream out. We had pasta for dinner and went to Freddy's for frozen custard. The boys were well behaved once they got their custard.

Morry is reading to Evan and Noah now.

Evan's turn for a haircut

This morning I woke up early to run. I got my run in before Morry and Evan left for school. It was a lot easier running when it's not so hot out. But, I'm not sure I liked getting up before 6am. Maybe I'll try that once a week for my longer runs.

Both kids went to school without problems this morning.

I met some moms for lunch at Santa Rita and then met Morry at a flooring store. We got a few samples of hardwood flooring to bring home.

Noah was playing outside when I picked him up from school. He seemed to be having a good time.

At home Noah was acting tired and went in the guest bedroom to watch tv until it was time to get Evan.

My plan was to pick up Evan and then take him to Great Clips for a haircut. He said he would rather me cut his hair at home. So, we went home and I gave him a haircut.

Gabby came at 4pm and I tutored.

For dinner we had hamburgers/veggie burgers and baked potato/sweet potato. Guess who had which?

The boys had baths and now they are in bed.

Rise and Shine

This morning both boys were up at 6:30am. That's very early for them. Evan said he heard the air conditioning come on and thought it was the garage door. When he ran out in the hallway Noah was coming out to use the restroom. Both boys were excited to see each other and never went back to sleep.

Evan and Noah were very hyper this morning, but then it turned to crankiness. I dropped them off at Clubhouse for Kids around noon. I packed a lunch for them to eat there.

I stopped in Target to get a few things and then went to the hospital to visit Lauren and Shayne. She had her baby last night. I visited with Lauren, Shayne, Aunt Susan, Aaron, Mandy, and of course baby Garrett for about an hour.

I picked up the boys at Clubhouse for Kids and then we came home. Noah wouldn't nap.

For dinner we had flank steak and corn. Noah ate really well. He actually ate our dinner, which was nice. Evan ate ok.

We tried getting the boys ready for bed a little early, but they are both still awake right now.

Lauren, Garrett, and Aaron

Up Early - Brrrr

Today at 7am the school forms were due to switch to another day. If you want to switch to different days of the week for next year it is pretty competitive. They grant transfers on a first come first serve basis. I asked how early people get there and they wouldn't tell me an exact time. All they said was that in the past some people have camped out. Since it was going to be cold and rainy, I decided it wasn't worth waiting in that just to switch Noah to MWF from TTH. I got there 6am. Luckily they had already opened the building and let everyone sit inside. I was number 12 on the list. The first person got there at 3am! Most likely we will be able to switch Noah. We'll find out in a few weeks.

Later, after I dropped Evan and Noah off at school I was able to take a little nap.

When I picked the boys up they both seemed to have had a good day.

When we got home Evan and Noah played outside, bundled up, for a little bit. It was in the low 30s.

Noah slept during nap time.

Blanca came at 5pm and I tutored one student.

When I got home we had leftover ribs from last night for dinner.

We just gave the boys baths and put them to bed.

School Day, Exercise, and HEB

This morning Evan woke up at 5:50am as Morry was leaving to go to the gym. I’m not sure why he was up so early.

Noah slept late and we had to wake him up a little before 9am to go to school.

Both boys did fine at drop off.

From school I went to the gym to meet the trainer. She had me do the stair step machine and then run about 1 ½ miles on the outside trail.

After that I went to HEB. I saved about $30 in coupons and we got our dinner for tonight free with coupons.

I came home, put the groceries away, cleaned up the kitchen, vacuumed, mopped, and then it was time to get the boys.

Evan and Noah had a good day. Noah’s teacher said one of the kids was upset so they were going to take her into Evan’s classroom. They decided to bring Noah too since they thought he would like seeing Evan. He had fun, but cried with it was time to leave Evan.

When we got home I tried putting Noah down for a nap, but he wouldn’t sleep.

Blanca came at 3:45. I tutored and came home at 7pm.

We ate dinner and then put the boys to bed. Noah is playing with his leapster. Evan is still awake too.

Errands

This morning Evan woke up early. A little before 7am he came in our room. I set him up with tv in the game room and then went back to sleep for a little bit.

Once Noah was up we all got up and got dressed and had breakfast.

We had some errands to run today. First, we went to Sams Club. We spent a while there and got some good deals. Evan and Noah were good, so we got them a soft pretzel and ICEE to share.

After Sams we went to Office Depot. We wanted to look at printers. Evan and Noah were getting into everything and touching all of the printer buttons. It was very hard trying to keep an eye on them and check out printers.

We came home and ate lunch. While the boys were eating I vacuumed upstairs.

Noah took a nap while Evan watched TV.

For dinner Morry made fried matzoh for him and the boys. I had a salad and egg sandwich.

After dinner we took a walk.

When we came back home we gave Evan and Noah baths and then put them to bed.

Back to Exercise

So, both boys got up early this morning. They were both up by 8am.

After eating breakfast I went for a run with Lizzy and Evan and Noah in the stroller. I ran about 2 miles.

After that we went to the gym. I wanted to swim some laps and then do some of the relaxing stuff like sit in the hot tub. I got changed in the swim suit and on the door to the indoor pool there was a sign saying the indoor pool was closed due to fecal contamination. Yuck! I just sat in the hot tub for a little bit. They do have lanes outside for swimming but I had not put on sun screen.

I planned on going to HEB after the gym. When I picked up Evan and Noah from the gym child care Noah was soaking wet. He had been playing in the drinking water fountain. I’m kind of annoyed no one stopped him sooner. He had his shoes and socks off and I could not find his socks anywhere. Noah threw a fit. He didn’t want to leave the gym. I couldn’t get his shoes on and he was soaking wet. So, I decided just to go home.

I gave Evan and Noah lunch and then put Noah down for a nap.

When Morry got home he made dinner for Evan and Noah. Blanca came around 7pm so Morry and I could go out to dinner. We went to Jack Allen’s Kitchen. It was really good. We tried to go to Hey Cupcake for dessert, but when we drove up we saw they are closed on Monday. We just came back home.

When we got home Blanca was putting the boys to bed. They were giggling about something. It was cute. We just sent Blanca home and we are hoping the boys will fall asleep soon.

Little Sleep

Last night I had a hard time sleeping. Then, the boys were up at 7 something after Lizzy started barking.

We had playgroup today at Lisa and Siena’s house. Evan and Noah had fun. The kids played outside for a little bit and then up in their play room.

When we got home Evan and Noah played outside while I got lunch ready.

Noah just wouldn’t nap. I tried a few times to put him back to bed, but he didn’t want to nap.

Around dinner time I started not feeling good. Morry picked up Wendy’s for dinner.

I’m worried I may have the virus the boys and Morry had. I hope it doesn’t last long.

Morry is reading a book to Evan and Noah while I write the blog. I hope the boys, and everyone, sleeps well tonight.

Early Morning

Both boys were up at 7:30am this morning for some reason. Noah enjoys being able to come out of his room and play with Evan in the morning. Before, if he woke up early in his crib he would usually fall back asleep for a little bit. I first heard Noah this morning telling me he was awake. He asked where Evan was and I said Evan was still sleeping. Just as I finished saying that I heard Evan call out to Noah and tell him to come in his room.

We went to the gym and I took a spinning class and then swam in the pool. The boys seemed to have a good time. As long as Noah is with Evan he’s fine.

After the gym we came home. I let Evan and Noah play outside while I got lunch ready. We ate lunch inside since it was pretty hot outside already.

After lunch I gave the boys haircuts on the upstairs porch. Then, Noah went down for a nap.

Since I wasn’t tutoring tonight I was able to go to Evan’s sports class. We all went to Evan’s class. His last one is next week and then we’ll take the summer off.

Right as we were leaving the sky got really dark and it started raining hard. We got in the car just in time.

For dinner we had pasta.

We just cleaned up a little bit and then put the boys to bed.
