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.

Mud

The morning we walked to school and picked up Jack on the way.  When we got to the trail to the school, it was pretty muddy.  I walked ahead of the boys and called out for them to be careful.   Everyone was walking around the mud, but Evan chose to walk through it.  I'm not sure what happened, but somehow the mud was deeper than he though at one point and his whole left shoe became submerged.  He thought it was pretty cool looking.  I guess it eventually dried off during the day?  We were expecting to get a call from the school asking us to bring in shoes, but we never got the call.  Here's a picture.

I went to pilates today then stopped at Costco on my way home.

Morry had already left to pick up the boys when I got home.  I quickly put the food away and then ran to meet them at school.  I got there just before the kids came out.

Jack walked home (to his house) with us.  I think we will be doing this every day now.

Shortly after coming home Morry and Evan went to baseball practice.

They got home around 7:30 and we had fried rice for dinner.

Evan's complaining about not feeling well.  He's kind of grouchy right now.  He said his throat hurts.  We'll see how he feels in the morning.

The boys are getting ready for bed now.

In Search of Shaved Ice

This morning Noah threw a mini fit.  He didn't want to get dressed and didn't want to go to school.  Morry buckled him in the car for me.

Evan came with me to drop Noah off at school and then we went to Bed Bath and Beyond to exchanged the beverage dispenser.  I also picked up my new glasses from the eye doctor.

At home, Evan played Wii while I worked cleaning the panty.  I only got through the bottom/floor.  It took most of the morning until it was time to get Noah.

Morry came with us to pick up Noah.  Evan and Noah were excited to see each other.

We took it easy at home this afternoon.

For dinner we made fried rice.

After dinner Morry suggested we go to Blizzy's for shaved ice.  It was closed.  It closes at 7:30pm now.  So, we knew of another snow cone place near HEB and decided to try it out. I was good.  They had lots of chair for sitting outside, but I had to go in the car after a little while.  Even though I sprayed myself with bug spray I was still getting bit up.

The boys are ready for bed now, but not asleep.

Target and Closets

This morning we went to Target to pick up some organization stuff. Morry got some bins/containers for his office and I picked up some baskets to help me organize the closets in our house.

Today I was able to clean up Evan's closet and the linen closet. Here are some before and after pics.

While I was cleaning the closets Morry and the boys were downstairs watching the Steelers.

Morry made fried rice for dinner and after dinner he took apart Noah's crib. We have had that crib up for a long time.

We are about to put the boys to bed. Let's hope they sleep well tonight and don't give me a hard time tomorrow when Morry goes back to work.

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.
