Freezing

So, this morning it was in the 60s when I dropped of Evan, and when I went to pick him up from school a few hours later it was already in the 40s. Now, at almost 9pm it’s 32 degrees outside.

Yenis told me when she brought Kevin in the classroom this morning Evan ran up to them and said he was a firefighter. He had a hat on and was pretending to be a firefighter. When I picked Evan up he was a doctor. He came up to me with a thermometer and wanted to check my ear.

While Evan was at school Noah took a short morning nap and cleaned upstairs. We ate lunch and that was pretty much the end of the morning. Then, it was time to pick up Evan.

Blanca came at 3:00. I was supposed to tutor until 7:30 tonight, but ended up just going until 6:30. One of my students didn’t have homework and therefore, didn’t need my help. That was good since I was worried about driving home in bad weather. I wanted to get home before it got below freezing.

For dinner we had pasta and green beans. Evan didn’t eat much for dinner. All he ate was 2 cups of applesauce. Noah ate well though. He had cereal mixed with applesauce, baby food veggies, regular veggies, hot dog, a little bit of pasta, and cheese.

They are saying we may get some sleet and ice tonight. We’ll see what happens.

Brrrrr

It got cold here. The weather man said it got close to freezing here last night. This morning around 9 the temperature was 42 degrees. I still walked Evan to school. It was cold, but at least it was sunny. I bundled the boys in jackets and blankets, and by the time we got to school they didn’t need the blankets anymore.

While Evan was at school I just got stuff done around the house. Noah and I didn’t go anywhere. I fed Noah his usually lunch of cereal. I also gave him some Gerber puffs (little finger food cereal). He’s starting to get better at getting foods to his mouth. He seems to like those little puffs, even though not all of them make it to his mouth.

When I went to pick up Evan at school he was in the corner near the books lying on a pillow and covered with a blanket. He was smiling at me and said, “I tucked myself.” Wendy thought that was funny. He went over to the corner on his own, got the blanket and pillow, and tucked himself in. He must have been pretty tired.

When we got home I tried to put the boys down for a nap. Neither one wanted to sleep. I finally got Noah to sleep around 2:30. When Blanca came at 3 Evan was still up. Through the monitor we heard him say, “I want Blanca.” He must have heard her come in. Evan ended up not napping at all. Noah slept for almost 2 hours.

I got home from tutoring at 7. Morry had made ribs for us. We ate dinner and then put Evan and Noah to bed. Evan scratched his Toy Story CD, so we had to put the Raffi CD on instead. He cried some, but now it sounds like he is asleep. Noah doesn’t seem to mind what he listens to. Right now he has a swing music CD in his player.
