Negotiating

This morning I was going to meet up with some other women to run, but I was worried it would be too cold out for the boys to sit in the stroller.

After I dropped Evan and Noah off at school I came home for just a little bit and then met Morry at work. We went to test drive the Toyota Sienna again to compare it with the Honda Odyssey. We both decided we like the Honda a little bit more than the Sienna.

I needed to pick up the boys and be back home home 1:30 for Blanca. So, of course since I was in a hurry getting the boys out of school, this was the day Noah decided he didn't want to leave school. I usually pick up Noah first. He didn't want to leave his class so I went and got Evan and then came back to Noah's room.

Blanca babysit while I went to the library to tutor.

When I came home Noah was napping.

That's when I started contacting various dealers. It was like a flood. All of the sudden I had a ton of dealerships emailing and calling. The negotiating went on all afternoon and evening. We are now trying to decide which we want to go with.

Now, it's time to put the boys to bed. Let's hope they sleep well.

Birthday Party and Car Shopping

This morning we had a birthday party at Locomotion, an indoor play place. It was nice and the boys got a lot of exercise. Everyone had fun.

We came home and ate lunch and then went over to the Honda dealer. We test drove the 2011 Odyssey (minivan). The boys were very well behaved and enjoyed playing inside the car. Evan wanted us to buy it right there. We would still want to see the Toyota Sienna again to compare the two.

By the time we got home it was around 4pm. Both boys were tired but we knew they would never sleep at night if took a nap at that point. Morry put on the movie Elf for them and they both thought it was funny.

Gabby came at 6:15. We ordered pizza for them and then left.

Morry and I ate dinner at the Melting Pot.

We got home around 9pm. They boys were ready for bed, but still awake.

Mini Vans

This morning Evan woke up about 8:30 (late for him). Noah and I dropped off Evan at school and then came home. Gabby came to the house at 10:45 so that I could meet Morry.

Morry and I thought we would just check out a few mini vans and see what our options are. We are happy with our Pilot, but at times it would be nice to have a mini van. We went to both Toyota and Honda. Morry liked the Toyota Sienna better and I preferred the Honda Odyssey. We aren’t ready to buy anything yet. It could even be a few more years. We just wanted to take a look. I’m not sure if I’m ready to be driving a mini-van.

I picked Evan up from school on the way home. Evan and Noah played with Gabby outside while I ate lunch. Gabby helped me put Noah down for his nap and then she left. Evan watched TV in the game room so that I could rest a little.

For dinner we had pasta.

After dinner we went to Target. We needed to get a few things including birthday presents for the boys. Evan was pretty bad there. He wanted everything on the shelf and wasn’t listening to us. It seemed like he was throwing a fit for no reason. He’s very tired.

We just put Evan and Noah to bed. Evan is crying in his room right now. I’m not sure what he wants.

I just went up to Evan’s room. He was crying that he wanted his pacifier, which was on the window sill where he threw it earlier. I got it for him, then he got upset because he wanted Daddy to get it for him.
