First Night of Hanukkah

This morning we walked Noah to school and then I left for my school.

After teaching, I met Morry, Grandma, and Papa at Strait Music to get the kids' Hanukkah presents.  Together, we got Evan an electric guitar set and Noah a keyboard set.

From there I went to the Pink Ribbon Cowgirls lunch at Whole Foods.

I walked to get Noah from school and then he went over to Grandma and Papa's house.

Shortly after Evan got home I went to tutor.

When I got home we ate dinner (quesadillas).

Then, we went over to Grandma and Papa's house to celebrate the first night of Hanukkah.

We gave the kids their music gifts tonight.  They were very excited.

When we got home we set everything up and let them play for a little bit before getting ready for bed.

Now, the kids are in bed.

Evening with Ben, Molly, and Matt

I dropped Evan off at school today, deposited some tutoring checks at the ATM, then came home.

Noah and I just stayed at home. I cleaned up around the house. Then we ate lunch and picked up Evan.

Wendy told us the music guy brought in an electric guitar. He let the kids play it. The music guy played the guitar for them and Wendy said it was like the scene from Back to the Future. Michael J Fox plays the loud rock music, but the audience isn’t ready for it. Wendy said by the kids’ reactions, they must have not heard anything like that before.

When we got home, Blanca came over. She stayed about an hour so I could do some stuff around the house.

The boys went down for naps around 2:30 and slept well.

Morry picked up pizza from Little Caesars on the way home. Matt and the kids came over for diner and then Morry helped Matt move one of our TVs to Matt’s new apartment. I watched the kids while they moved the tv and bought it to the apartment. Evan and Noah had a great time playing with Ben and Molly. Evan’s very wound up now, but it’s time to get ready for bed. Hopefully, he goes to sleep ok tonight.
