Last night Noah was crying in the middle of the night and it took a while for him to calm down.
This morning Noah slept late and then we went for a run. Evan told me he wanted to go for a run, but he ended up running less than a mile. It was pretty hot. I had to push both boys in the stroller the rest of the 1+ miles.
Noah was cranky and whiny today. He's been that way the last few days.
I took the boys with me to Bed Bath and Beyond. I wanted to get a beverage dispenser so we could have "fancy water". That's what the boys call water with fruit pieces in it. I thought we'd all be more likely to drink water if it had a little flavor to it. I picked one up after reading reviews online, but later at home there was a small crack on the top and the canister was a little dirty, like it might have been used before. I called the store and told them I'm coming back tomorrow to exchange it for an unused one. They have one on hold for me. I hope that one is better.
I also took the boys to HEB. We had a lot of shopping to do. It took a while and the boys were kind of wild there.
At home, I quickly put away the refrigerated items and then we left again. Morry and I had a meeting, so I dropped the boys off at Clubhouse for Kids.
For dinner we had leftovers. We had pasta and pizza.
We took a walk tonight, gave the boys showers, and now they are ready for bed.

Evan’s New Teacher
This morning Evan woke up while Morry was still here.
Once Evan and Noah were dressed I took them for a run/walk. I didn’t take Lizzy today. I was worried it might be too hot for her. Last time she seemed pretty hot. I gave the boys cereal and fruit to eat on the run.
When we got home we got ready to go meet the Mom’s club. They were having an outing at an inflatable jumping place called Locomotion. When we pulled up to the building Evan and Noah were very excited to see a painted train on the side of the building. The place was pretty nice. It was very open and you could see pretty much everything. They had a large area with inflatable jumpy castles, ship, houses, slides, etc. There was also a little area with small rooms with themes (animal hospital, grocery store, diner, …). Evan and Noah had a great time. Both of them spent a lot of time on the inflatables.
After Locomotion, we went to Newflower to get a few groceries for the weekend. Evan and Noah got their free cookies at the end of the shopping trip. Both had blue icing all over their faces and hands.
Evan and Noah took good naps, but I had to wake up Evan a little before 4. His new teacher, Mai, was coming over to meet him. Morry was able to come home for the meeting too. At first Evan didn’t talk at all. He showed her his toys downstairs. Then, she had him draw a picture of himself with markers. He did pretty well. You could definitely tell it was a person, and he drew 2 long legs and feet below the head. It was cute.
Morry had to work a little from home after Mai left.
Once he was done working we made dinner. We had crockpot brisket and rice.
After dinner, Morry helped Evan play wii baseball and golf. Noah watched. I finished cleaning the pantry. Whew! It had been a while since the pantry was cleaned. I had to throw out a few expired things. It looks a lot better now.
We just gave Evan and Noah baths and put them to bed.

Too Hot for the Ipod
This morning Evan woke up at 7:10am and Noah woke up around 9am. I took the boys and Lizzy for a run. It was pretty hot outside. I was going to run 3 miles, but at 1.5 miles I stopped and decided to just walk the rest of the way. On they way back my Ipod turned off and I got a temperature warning symbol. I turned back on later, but I guess it was too hot for the Ipod. Maybe it’s trying to tell me something? It will be nice when it cools down a little bit here (but not too much).
Evan and Noah did not eat much for lunch. I quickly ate a salad before Blanca arrived. Blanca came at 12:30 and I tutored from 1pm – 3pm. School starts next week and one of the families wanted me to tutor their kids this week. The girl going into high school actually has a summer book report due the second day of school.
When I got home Evan and Noah were napping. They both took good naps.
When Morry got home he brought in a big box. I had won a Macaroni Grill gift basket thing that arrived today. I entered the contest on a blog a while ago. We got 4 dinner, a colander, a pasta spoon, and a cheese grater.
For dinner we made Panko Chicken and Basmati rice.
After dinner we went to Sams Club to pick up a few things. When we got home Blanca and Rita were outside. We talked to them for a little bit while the boys played with chalk. Somehow Evan got chalk all over Noah’s face.
We just put the boys to bed.

Clean Up
Evan woke up early again, but at least he knocked and didn’t cry.
When I dropped Evan off at school, I put Noah down so I could put Evan’s lunch and water with the others. There was a class of small kids (maybe 2 years old?) coming through the room to go outside. Noah started following them and almost got out to the playground. I had to run over there to catch him before he followed the class outside. He looked really cute walking behind all those other little kids.
After dropping off Evan at school Noah and I picked up Riley. She watched Noah at our house from about 9:30-12. I had a whole bunch of cleaning I needed to do. The house was a disaster. Even though, Riley was here I didn’t get as much done as I hoped. Noah cried almost the whole entire time she was here. He started crying when she got in the car. The last few times he did great with her. I don’t think the crying has anything to do with her. She’s a very nice girl and she gets down on the floor and plays with the kids. I think Noah just knew that I wasn’t going to be able to be with him and he didn’t like that. I spent a lot of time trying to calm Noah down. He was finally happy and playing for about the last 30 minutes. What a stinker!
Noah ate lunch. Then, I ate quickly. It has become very hard for me to eat while Noah is eating (or trying to eat). He screams, whines, etc almost the whole meal. The only time he stops is if I give him fruit. So, I fed him and then took him out of his high chair and ate my lunch in about 10 minutes before it was time to get Evan.
Right when we got home from picking up Evan I put the boys down for naps. I was exhausted from the morning. Evan and Noah both took really good naps.
For dinner we made grilled chicken and rice.
After dinner I wanted to run, but it was just too hot outside. They said the high today would be 106. I’m not sure if got up to that or more, but it was really hot out. We were also under a heat advisory today. So, instead of running we made ice cream. I made chocolate ice cream this time in the bag and it turned out well. We didn’t have any vanilla in the house, so I just added some Nesquick to the mix and it worked well.
Morry put up curtains in Evan’s room tonight. We are hoping they will block out some light and maybe Evan will sleep later? We’ll see.
We just gave them baths and put the boys to bed.
