Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Today is Rachel's 35th birthday. Noah made some drawings for Rachel and gave it to her this morning. When she came downstairs the boys and I gave her a gift.
She ended up going for a walk on her own as the boys wanted to stay here and I was working.
Rachel still tutored today so Blanca came over and took care of the boys.
I had a meeting at 2pm outside of the house.
In the late afternoon, Rachel took a short nap and then we went to the Melting Pot for dinner.
The boys did wonderful at the restaurant. For the kids they could choose up to three things to cook. Evan chose salmon and shrimp. Noah chose steak and salmon. Noah ate all his steak and a bit of the salmon. Evan ate all of his salmon, shrimp, and all of Noah's salmon that Noah didn't finish. Evan then had a ton of the chocolate fondue as well.
We are home and the boys are in bed now.
Until next time...

First night of Hanukkah
This morning I took the boys with me to run some errands so Morry could work at home in peace.
We had lunch together and then Morry worked some more.
We stayed at home this afternoon.
We lit the menorahs and the boys opened their gifts from Grandmom and Zayde.
For dinner we picked up food from Zpizza.
The boys are playing football together in the hall and then we'll get them ready for bed.

New Windshield
I dropped the boys off at school and a little while later the guy from Safelite came to repair our broken windshield. It took him about 1 1/2 hours. While he was here I cleaned the house and went for a 3 mile run.
Evan and Noah were happy at pick-up. They had made presents for Father's Day and were very excited about them. They couldn't wait to give them to Morry. They said they wanted to give them to him tonight and not wait until Father's Day. Evan made a book about why he loves his dad and illustrated it. He also had a card, a coozie, and a bag of chips in his bag for Morry. In Noah's bag there was a laminated poem and his footprint along with a rock that was decorated and said, "Dad, you rock."
Noah was very cranky when we got home. He cried for a long time. I have no idea what he was so mad about. He wouldn't tell me. I put him in his room for a while. I took him potty and after that he calmed down and actually fell asleep in his bed.
After naps, we tried to set up the Slip and Slide, but it was broken. I found an old sprinkler in the garage and set that up. The kids had a good time playing in it. Even after Noah had come in Evan still played for a while outside by himself.
For dinner we had flank steak and potatoes.
We just did a quick clean up upstairs. The kids' room and game room get so messy and I feel like I'm always cleaning. I came up with the idea to have clean up nights (Thursday and Sunday). They have to clean up their rooms and the game room and then I'll vacuum. This is only our second one, but so far it seems to be working well. It wasn't as messy this time and didn't take too long to clean up.
Morry is reading to Evan and Noah now and then we'll put them to bed.

Target and Tutor
I didn’t drop Evan off at school until about 10am. I think both boys woke up around 8:30. The reason why I say I think, is that I thought I heard Evan around that time. I was getting dressed and all of the sudden Evan walks in the room. Somehow he had opened his gate. He said he had been playing Geo Trax. I have no idea how long he had been in the game room. I think it had only been a little while though.
After dropping Evan off at school, Noah and I went to Target. While I was shopping in Target Noah told me he had pooped. He said, “poo poo” and sure enough he had. Maybe he will be potty trained soon. ha ha
I did some cleaning around the house and Noah and I ate lunch. Then, we picked up Evan at school. Wendy told me about Evan’s vanishing poop. He told her he went poo poo on the potty and asked where it was. Wendy said she looked everywhere in the bathroom thinking maybe it was on the floor or something. The only thing she could imagine is that maybe it had just gone deep into the toilet. Evan was very confused about where his poop could have gone.
Evan had made a Father’s Day gift for Morry at school. All the kids made tie shaped bookmarks for Father’s Day. When we got home I put it aside to save for Morry for Father’s Day.
Evan and Noah took naps and were still sleeping when Blanca came at 4:00. I tutored one student and got home about 6:00. Morry came home just a few minutes later. When Morry walked in the door Evan told him he had a gift for him and wanted to give it to him. Evan insisted on giving Morry his gift then so I went and I got it. Evan was very proud of the bookmark he made.
We had ribs made in the crock pot for dinner.
The boys are in bed now and it sounds quiet.

Cleaning the house
Morry had off work today. This morning Morry let me sleep in. Noah was up many times during the night. He was whining a lot. Most of the times we just ignored him and he went back to sleep after a while.
This morning I was busy cleaning. Our house really needed to be cleaned. I took a break and we had lunch together. We had leftover corned beef from last night. During lunch Rita, Blanca’s mom, came over to give Evan and Noah gifts from Blanca. Evan got a Buzz Lightyear doll, Thomas books, and a toy radio for the fridge. Noah got some cute t-shirts.
After lunch we ran over to Barnes and Noble. I needed to get a gift there. We were worried it was going to be super crowded, but it wasn’t too bad. We let Evan play at the train table for a little bit, but we had to get home for naps. It was getting late in the afternoon.
While the boys were napping I did more cleaning and got stuff ready for tonight. We had Yenis, Steve, and Kevin over. They picked up pizza on the way here. I made a salad and meringue cookies. They came over around 6:30. We had a nice time. The first part of the evening was great, but then Evan started getting really cranky. He did not want to share his toys. He was being a pain. He was purposely getting hurt to get our attention. I don’t know why he was acting like that. He had a good nap.
Both boys are in bed now and it seems quiet. I hope they sleep well tonight. We could really use a good night’s sleep.

Playgroup day
Today we went to playgroup. It’s been a while since we’ve gone. Playgroup was at Marissa’s house (in Evan’s class at school). Their house is pretty close so we walked. Well, I walked and the boys rode in the stroller. It was a nice time. Evan ate a ton of muffins. They had a plate of small muffins out and every time I turned around Evan was eating another one. Last time we were at Marissa’s house Evan played with one of her toy trains. He remembered and asked me where it was. I told him to ask Marissa and she said it was upstairs. Bodar, Marissa’s mom, must have heard and she offered to get it and bring it down for Evan. Both Evan and Noah enjoyed playing with the train. I put Noah down on the floor with the other kids and toys and he seemed to want to be near Evan and playing with whatever Evan was playing with.
After playgroup we went home and ate lunch. During lunch Evan said he wanted a Popsicle. After lunch we went in the backyard and I let Evan eat a Popsicle. He offered some to me and Noah. With the first few bites Noah took he made a really funny face. It must have been sour. It made Evan and I laugh and Evan wanted to give Noah more so he would make that face again.
Evan and Noah took good naps. Evan slept until about 6:30.
We went to dinner at Serranos. When we walked in the door there was a sign posted that said if you bought at $25 gift card you got an extra $5 for free. So, while we were waiting for our table I went up to the bar and bought a gift card for us to use at dinner. I wondered why more people didn’t do that. It was like getting a $5 coupon.
After dinner we went to Best Buy and then Target. At Best Buy we looked at washer/dryers. We are going to need new ones soon. Ours now are more than 10 years old. Both take forever to wash/dry. It looks like the best ones are LG and Samsung. Morry and I are trying to decide what to get each other for our Hanukkah present. It would be nice to get washer/dryers, but they are pretty expensive and not such a fun/exciting Hanukkah gift. I never thought I’d be asking for a washer/dryer for Hanukkah. We are trying to decide between that, a nice SLR camera, maybe a blue ray disc player? We’ll see.
Well, it’s late. It sounds like the boys are sleeping now. I hope they let us sleep in a little tomorrow morning.
Oh, one more thing. Evan got a kid's digital camera for Hanukkah from Marilyn. He loves it and really understands how to take pictures. He's doing well taking pictures on his own. Here are a few pictures Evan took all by himself.
