San Antonio + The Weekend

 Friday and Saturday Evan had baseball games in San Antonio.

On Friday, just Morry and Evan went to San Antonio.

On Saturday, I went too and we met Grandma, Papa, Aunt Diane, and Uncle Jay for lunch in San Antonio.  

After lunch, Morry and Evan went to the field for Evan's practice.  

Grandma and Papa and I walked around a park for a little bit and then went to the game.

Evan's team played a second game, but Grandma, Papa, and I left to go back home.  

On the way home we picked up dinner from Galaxy, then got Noah, and we all ate at G&P's house.

After Morry and Evan got home, Evan went to spend the night at Reid's house.

Today, Morry played golf and Evan went to the UT baseball game with Reid's family.

For lunch, I picked up Wholy Bagel for Noah and me.

When Morry got home around 6pm, we ate pasta for dinner and then went to HEB.

Here are some pictures from the weekend.

Meetings

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

It was somewhat cold this morning but it wasn't raining or wet, so we were able to walk Noah to school.  Chewie was happy.

I worked from home for a while in the morning and then went into Touch To.

Rachel met her friend, Lorena, for lunch at Galaxy Cafe.  They stayed there and talked until Rachel had to go into Charles Maund Toyota for a meeting.

Rachel met with people from Charles Maund and some marketing people from the Austin American-Statesman about a marketing campaign.  It seemed to go well.

Rachel was not able to make it home to get Noah.  I left Touch To and ran into bad traffic.  In fact, I wasn't sure I was going to be able to make it home to get Noah.  I got there just as Noah was walking up the hill.

I worked from home the rest of the day.

After Rachel's meeting with Charles Maund, she had a separate individual meeting with the woman from the Austin American-Statesman.

For dinner, we met Rachel at a place called Snarf's.  It's a sandwich place.  It wasn't too bad.

We're home now and the boys are upstairs playing Fortnite.  Rachel is practicing her presentation.

Until next time...

Crazy Texas Weather

So, yesterday it snowed and today it was 65 degrees.

For lunch/brunch we went to Galaxy Cafe. We had a Groupon we needed to use soon. We ran into some friends of ours (Susan, Frank, and Laurel) - a family from Mom's club and Evan's class. They were doing the same thing we were, using up a Groupon.

After lunch we went to the Circle C park for a while. Evan and Noah loved running around. It was good letting them get out some energy. They spent a lot of time playing with tennis balls on the basketball court and then they played on the playground.

When we got home I made smoothies for the kids and me.

During nap time Evan and Morry played baseball outside. Noah took a nap.

For dinner we ate at home leftover chicken from the other night. For dessert we went to Tutti Frutti, a frozen yogurt place.

We just put the boys to bed.

Anyone want a cranky 2 year-old?

This morning I got up early and met some friends at the school at 7:15am. We ran 6.27 miles. Woohoo! That’s the longest I’ve run. Before that my farthest was 6.2 miles when we did the 10k a few years ago. It was a good run and I enjoyed having company. It went by faster. I had to walk just a little bit on a few of the hills.

I got home a little after 8:30 just as Noah was getting up. Morry and Evan left to take Lizzy to the vet for her yearly check up. Everything looked good for Lizzy, but I was left with the cranky kid. He cried most of the time.

Noah is usually pretty demanding and can be cranky, but for some reason the last few days have been really tough. Last time this went on for a while another mom suggested maybe he had an ear infection. Sure enough, he did. I’m hoping he doesn’t have one now. We may need to get him checked out if this continues.

When Morry , Evan, and Lizzy got back we went to the gym. We put the kids in the child care and Morry and I relaxed in the hot tub for a little bit.

Leaving the gym Noah threw a big fit. He was upset because he didn’t want to leave and wanted to eat lunch there. Morry had to carry Noah out the car.

We got home and ate lunch. Then we put Noah down for a nap. I was able to nap too.

Morry left the house around 5pm to go to the UT football game. That’s when Noah woke up from his nap.

He was cranky from the start, but then got really upset and threw a full out tantrum. Noah didn’t want to eat his bread and wanted me to put it back in the package. Instead of putting it back I gave it to Evan, who wanted more bread. This set Noah off for some reason. He calmed down a little later, but then got upset again when he saw me packing the diaper bag for dinner. He wanted the watermelon right then.

Before dinner, we went to Barnes and Noble for a little bit. I let the boys pick out cookies to have for dessert after dinner. Evan picked out a sugar cookie and Noah picked a chocolate chip cookie. Noah got upset again because he wanted his cookie right then. Then, leaving the bookstore and all the way to dinner Noah was throwing a fit in the back of the car.

We got to Galaxy Café and both boys were being kind of wild while I was trying to order. We sat down and then Evan got really upset because he didn’t want the juice I brought him. He wanted his own fountain drink. He kicked off his shoe and threw one at the table next to us. Luckily no one was sitting there. I finally got him to calm down by taking pomegranate out of the diaper bag. That kept both boys occupied for a while and then they finally calmed down and ended up eating well.

On the way home I let each boy have half a cookie.

We played for a while when we got home and then I put both kids to bed. It seems like Noah is asleep, but Evan just came down and is talking to me.

Whew!

More Help with Noah

It was nice having more help with Noah today. We ate a small breakfast at home and then Grandma and Papa, Noah and I went to HEB. I liked having the extra help so that I could get my grocery shopping done. Noah had a lot of samples.

We came home put the groceries away and then went out to lunch. We ate at Galaxy café. I had bought a $30 gift card for $15 off of Groupon so we got a good deal on our lunch.

When we got home Grandma and Papa helped me put Noah down for a nap and then they left to drive back to Dallas.

Noah slept for a long time. I had a student come to the house for tutoring and he slept through the whole thing.

I finally woke Noah up at 6pm so he would sleep tonight.

For diner I made grilled cheese for us, but Noah didn’t eat his.

After dinner we came upstairs and I gave Lizzy a bath. Noah enjoyed watching.

Noah is watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse as I write the blog. In a few minutes I’ll put him to bed.
