Yesterday we had a busy day. Deborah came over, had lunch with us, did some work on Lizzy, and then Morry helped her with some of her website stuff.
At night, we went to the Texas Stars minor league hockey game.
This morning Morry had a meeting.
When we got home Noah and I left to go to the Purim carnival at the JCC.
While we were gone Evan went to a birthday party and then Morry took him to baseball practice.
After the Purim carnival Noah went over to his friend Jude's house for a little bit.
I got the lunches ready for the week.
Noah got home around 5:30 and then I started getting dinner ready.
Morry and Evan got home around 6:30 and we ate dinner.
The boys had showers, FaceTimed with Grandma, Papa, and Maya, and are now getting ready for bed.

Chores
Hello everyone this is Morry.
When I woke up the boys and Rachel were already up which is unusual. The boys were downstairs with the Wii.
I did a bit of work while the boys played and Rachel got brunch ready.
Rachel found an app that could keep track of chores/tasks that the boys do. You can assigned monetary amounts for each thing. So we came up with a set of tasks that the boys can do - some weekly, some daily, etc... When they complete them they go to Rachel's iPad and check them off. If we approve then that amount of money is registered with them. If they misbehave we can go in and assess a penalty to them which would deduct some money from what they've earned. At our discretion, they can cash out what they have earned and we can mark that they've cashed out. The boys really liked this idea and have been super helpful today. We'll see how well that works long term.
In the afternoon, the boys and I went down to the cul-de-sac. Evan skated around using Rachel's rollerblades and shot a ball into a makeshift hockey goal.
Later in the afternoon, we watched Jurassic Park. The boys really enjoyed that.
Before dinner, we went to HEB and the boys picked out some things they'd like to bring to lunch. This week the boys have golf camp.
We had dinner and then went for a walk.
The boys are upstairs now.
Until next time...

Tough Day at the Ball Fields
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Baseball didn't start today until around noon so we took it fairly easy in the morning. I had to run out to pick up the jerseys for the Marauders. Evan played hockey in the cul-de-sac with Nathan, but Rachel and Noah stayed here.
Around noon, Noah and I drove to the fields for the last game of the regular season. The team has been playing really well. So I was ready for a good game. The top of the first didn't disappoint. We got three out after only giving up two runs. The leadoff batter hit a ball that rolled to the fence for a triple. The next batter got on as did the third batter. The fourth batter is where we had trouble. He hit a line drive to the pitcher who managed to catch it in the air (the first time that has happened this season). The runner on second did not get back in time and suddenly we had a man on first with two outs. Keep in mind in the last 6 or 7 games we've only run into about 4 or 5 outs. The next batter was our slowest batter. Even though I pointed him away from the pitcher, he still managed to ground to the pitcher who threw to first for three outs. So the score of the tee ball game after one was 2-1. The other team got three outs in every inning including another double play that was almost exactly like the first one. This time, though, Noah was the runner on first and he never heard us yelling to get back. We got a ton of outs in the game but unfortunately, the lack of runs really hurt us and we lost.
After the game, we went to Austin Pizza Garden with several families from Noah's team. It was a nice time.
From there we went back to the fields for Evan's game. Evan's team seems to be playing worse and worse. Evan wound up with two doubles and a single but many of the other kids just weren't hitting. The other team was also fairly strong defensively.
We came home and the boys ate, showered and are upstairs in their rooms.

Running around
This morning it was in the 60s so we walked to school.
I went for a run and then shopping at HEB.
I left to tutor and Morry picked up the boys at school.
Gabby came over.
When I got home Morry and the kids were in the cul-de-sac with Nathan and his dad playing street hockey.
For dinner we had orange soda chicken. We were out of Sprite, but it still came out good.
The boys are playing on Evan's computer. In a little bit we'll get them ready for bed.

Home from Dallas
We got back from our trip to Dallas today.
We had a nice time and did lots of fun things. We got to see Sherah's family a few times.
The boys, Morry, and Papa went to the Stars hockey game.
We got home around 2pm today and Deborah brought Calvin over around 4pm. The boys were really excited when Calvin got here.
We went to HEB and then picked up dinner. Morry and I got China Dynasty and the boys got McDonalds.
Evan and Noah are ready for bed. Noah's playing on his computer and Evan's watching the Longhorns game.
It's good to be home.

Sunny Day
Today it was in the 80s again. It was very nice this morning and I wanted to go for a walk. Noah started throwing a fit that he didn't want to go. Luckily, Morry was home. I just left Noah watching TV and I went for a walk.
We went to Noah's sports class. He was very excited about getting to play hockey today. He had fun as usual. After sports class we stopped at Smoothie King on the way home.
I cleaned the house some and then went to get Evan at school.
I tutored tonight and got home around 7:30. Morry had given the boys dinner and made our dinner (hamburgers). We ate while the boys played.

Yoga at the Gym
This morning Evan woke up around 8am and Noah a little after.
We went to 24 Hour Fitness so that I could try out their Yoga class at 11am. I dropped off the boys at the childcare. While I was dropping them off I saw two moms from the Circle C Moms club. The Yoga class was pretty crowded. Overall, it was good, but since I was in the back I couldn’t see the instructor so well. I had to look at what the people in front of me were doing. It wasn’t quite as good at the breast cancer yoga class, but at least this way I had the childcare there at the gym. Evan and Noah did well. Noah was happy to see me and he was not crying.
We came home and had lunch. Neither Evan nor Noah ate very much.
I put the boys down for naps and they slept well.
Morry had to wake Evan up when he got home so that they could go to Evan’s sports class.
It sounded like Evan had a good time and did well in the class. There was only 1 other kid there today. They did hockey today and Evan made a lot of goals.
While Evan and Morry were at the Little Gym I got dinner ready. I had put corned beef in the crock pot earlier. I cut up some veggies and got the mashed potatoes started. I also got Evan’s lunch ready for tomorrow. Noah was being very demanding and it took a lot longer than usual to get everything done.
When Evan and Morry came home we had dinner. Evan and Noah ate a ton of corned beef. They loved it! Evan also ate all the vegetables I gave him (tomato, carrots, and red bell pepper).
Evan and Noah are now eating Pez candy that we got them for Valentine’s Day. As soon as they are done we’ll put them to bed.

JCC, Boats, and Spaghetti
Evan got up early again. He was up around 6:30am.
This morning I took Evan and Noah to the JCC. Noah seemed to really like the music during Tot Shabbat. Evan like the challah.
After the JCC we met Morry for lunch since he works by there now. We ate at Kneaded Pleasures. I was able to find a coupon and we got a buy one get one free sandwich. Evan and Noah did well there and we had a nice lunch. During lunch Evan said he needed to go potty. Morry took him to the bathroom and Evan peed in the urinal! He was very excited to tell me about it.
Then, we went to Morry’s work to get the tour of the office. Noah must have liked what he saw because he was very loud there. He kept squealing and yelling.
Not too far from where Morry works there is a boat ramp to the lake and a neat bridge. I took the boys there. Evan and Noah liked going over the bridge and watching the boats.
At home, both boys took good naps. I put Evan in a diaper for nap time.
After naps, I went upstairs to get Evan. He had taken off his diaper, threw it away, put on underwear, and got dressed! His pants and underwear were backwards though.
Morry got home and we went out to dinner. We ate a Spaghetti Warehouse, which we also had a coupon. We had a buy one get one free dinner. Today was the day of coupons. We ate our dinner inside the trolley. Evan loved that. Evan and Noah were very well behaved. Evan went potty in the urinal twice while we were there.
As we were leaving the restaurant there were a ton of motorcycles outside. The Motorcycle Rally is going on this weekend here. We watched all the motorcycles for a little bit.
Morry’s watching the hockey game and Evan and Noah are playing with toys. In a few minutes we’ll put them to bed.
