Camp, Camp, Camp, and Camp

We all went to camp today.

This morning Morry dropped off Noah at camp and then went to Camp Gladitor.

I stayed home since Evan was getting picked up for the middle school camp at 8:30.

At 10am I had a meeting at the Honda Dealer about possibly doing some social media for them.

Evan got home a little after 12.

Later in the afternoon Morry and Evan went to the baseball fields.

I picked up Noah from camp.  Then, I went to an evening class of Camp Gladiator.

When I got home we started making dinner.

We had grilled chicken and salad for dinner.

Soon, the kids will get ready for bed.

Expensive Day

This morning we had a lot of rain and thunder.  Lizzy was not happy.

I drove Evan to his 11am dentist appointment.  He needed to get a cavity filled.  Everything went well and we were done in about an hour.

On the way home we stopped at HEB.

Finally, our car was ready this afternoon.  So, we drove to the dealership to pick it up.

For dinner, we invited Grandma over.  We had hamburgers, corn on the cob, and asparagus.

We walked Grandma home.

The boys are playing video games, but will get ready for bed soon.

Taking care of things

This morning we had an appointment to drop of my car at the dealer at 9am.  I drove my car there and then Morry and the boys came a few minutes later to pick me up.  My car recently hit 100,000 miles so we are getting a check up and oil change.  It's still not ready.

I took the boys to get passport photos taken.  We are planning on applying for passports tomorrow.  We don't have any international trips planned, but we figured it was a good time to get it done and have the passports ready if needed.

Wade came over during the afternoon.

Morry and Evan went to meet Coach Chris for a baseball lesson.  Shortly after they started it began to rain and lightning, so they came home.

We had corned beef, baked potato, and salad for dinner.

The boys are playing Legos now, but soon will get ready for bed.

Welcome Home Van

This morning we walked the boys to school and then I went to Howdy Honda to pick up my car.  So far, everything seems fixed.

Deborah came over later in the morning and hung out/ did some work until it was time to get the boys from school.

We walked to pick up the boys and Jack from school.

I tutored Jack and Audrey.

For dinner we had grilled chicken, soup, and cornbread.

Soon, the boys will get ready for bed.

Loaner Car and Canceled Tutoring

We walked the boys to school today.

I went for a run, Uncle Marvin came to pick up his tape measures, and then Morry and I went to the Honda Dealership.

In order to fix my car they need to order a part that won't be ready for a few days, so they offered a loaner car.  We picked up the car (new Honda Accord).  I drove back home and Morry went to Aaron's.

We walked to pick up the boys from school.

Shortly after getting home I left to tutor.  Both of the students canceled today, but not until I actually got to the locations.  They both were sick and forgot to tell me.

For dinner we had Sprite chicken.

The boys are playing video games, but soon they will get ready for bed.

Minivan Blues

This morning we walked the kids to school.  It seemed colder and grayer than yesterday and not as many people were out walking.

After dropping off the kids Morry and I took my car to the Honda dealer.  I had been having some electronic issues with it and needed an oil change.  He drove me back home and we left the car there.

We walked to pick up Evan and Jack from school.  Noah went home with his friend Jude.

I tutored Jack and Audrey.

Noah was dropped off at home around 5pm.  He seemed to have a good time.

My car is still not ready.  They haven't figured out the problem yet.

For dinner we had tacos and rice.

In a few minutes we will play a game a Clue and then the boys will get ready for bed.

Cars

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning, we drove the kids to school.  Again the temperatures were hovering around freezing so we didn't walk.

When we got home, I took Rachel's car into the dealership.  It needed regular service plus there were a number of recalls on the car.  Nothing serious - no major airbag issue or anything.  But we wanted to get it taken care of.

Rachel picked me up from there and we went over to the Toyota dealership.  I decided to trade my car in and get a Toyota 4Runner.  For the whole baseball season, I was struggling to fit all the baseball equipment in the car.  Many of the parking lots as well were dirt, gravel or worse.  I really liked the ILX but it was time to change.  I had gone in on Saturday and started negotiations.  The dealership contacted me yesterday and then I engaged a few more dealerships and was able to talk up the price of my ILX and talk down the price of the 4Runner.  Last night we came to an agreement over email.  The process seemed to take a long time even though everyone seemed motivated to make it go quickly.  But we are happy with the car.

We walked to pick the boys up from school.  Lizzy came with us.

Rachel tutored Audrey this afternoon.

For dinner we used the leftover rotisserie chicken for tacos.

The boys are now getting ready for bed.

Until next time...
