This morning it was cold and wet again so we drove Noah to school (with Chewie in the car).
When we got back I went to my school and taught the two classes.
After work, I met Morry at Wholy Bagel for lunch.
We walked to get Noah from school. On the way there it started sleeting a little bit. The kids coming out of school were very excited about the "snow". There were maybe just a few snowflakes mixed in there.
By the time Evan got home around 4pm there were actually quite a few snowflakes falling. A ton of kids came outside to play in the snow.
I left to tutor.
As I was coming home around 6pm, it was still snowing and starting to accumulate.
We ate dinner (pasta) at home and then the kids went outside to play in the snow. There was enough on the ground to make a small snowman!
Morry took Chewie for a walk. He was super hyper. He loved the cold and the snow.
Now Noah will have some tea and Evan will have hot chocolate and then they'll get ready for bed.
This morning we took it easy at home. Morry did work and I got stuff done around the house.
Early afternoon we left to run some errands. First, we went to HEB to pick up something for Evan's class gift exchange. Then, we went to Voodoo Doughnuts to pick up dessert for the potluck tonight. Next, we went to Barnes and Noble to get a book for the potluck gift exchange.
Evan and Morry went to Jesse's birthday party from 3-5.
Noah and I went over to the neighbor's party around 4:30. Morry and Evan met us there after the birthday party.
It was a nice party. The kids had a ton of sugar. There was a table with desserts. Then, they also had smores and hot chocolate at the party. Both boys made smores. Evan got hot chocolate and I put a few marshmallow in it for him. Then, he decided to put even more marshmallows in the his drink. I think he had a little hot chocolate with his marshmallows.
When we got home the boys got ready for bed.
Morry is still working tonight and I still have a ton of stuff to do to get ready for the week.
We planned on going ice skating today. We got a coupon deal a few weeks ago and chose today to use it. The Oasis (the restaurant on the lake) has now expanded into a whole shopping center. They put in an outdoor ice skating rink for the holidays.
We decided to go close to 11, when it was opening. Noah gets cranky in the afternoon and we figured that was our best bet. As we were getting ready to leave the house Noah said he didn't want to go. He said he'd rather stay at home with Blanca. I tried getting a hold of Blanca, but she wasn't available right then. We gave Noah the choice of Clubhouse for Kids or ice skating and he decided to come with us.
When we got there the small rink had a lot of people on it. It was pretty crowded. Both boys were not in good moods. They went around the rink a few times and then started whining for hot chocolate (which neither of them drink). We did not get any right then because we would have to take off our skates to go to the restaurant next door. Noah sat on the bench while we skated then he decided he was ready to skate some more. The boys did a little better toward the end, but still weren't in great moods. We took off our skates and picked up a hot chocolate for Morry and Evan to share. I'm not sure Evan drank his.
I packed a lunch for the boys because I thought maybe we would eat there. We decided just to leave after ice skating and Evan and Noah ate their lunch in the car.
When we got home Morry and I ate lunch and the boys had nap time. I did some cleaning/organizing.
Morry met Dimitry at 4:30 and then picked up food for us on his way home. Morry got Freddy's and I got Panera.
Tonight was clean up night. I heard a lot of screaming and whining upstairs. I was getting the cookie dough ready for tomorrow.
Time to get the boys to bed. It's been a long day.
It was Evan’s first day back at school after Thanksgiving. It had been a while since he was at school. For some reason he was really cranky this morning. I had to wake him up to get ready for school and he was very slow moving and whiny. It took forever to get him dressed and in the car. We were late to school. When we got to school he didn’t want to get out of the car for some reason. The only way I got him out was to tell him he could press the buttons for the door. The door at school has a keypad next to it that you have to press before you can come in. I let Evan press the keys. I told him what numbers to press and pointed to them, but he pressed them on his own.
After dropping Evan off, Noah and I ran some errands. On of the stops was Kohls. I got a lot of Hanukkah gifts for the boys and was able to use two coupons. I had one for $5 off and another for 20% they total.
Noah and I came home and I did laundry and cleaned the house. Then, we ate lunch and picked up Evan.
Wendy said she brought in the Polar Express CD and Evan loved dancing to the music. He was pretending to make hot chocolate during the hot chocolate song.
Noah slept for just a little bit and Evan did not nap at all. Blanca came at 4:00 and I tutored from 4:30-6:00.
Morry made pasta for dinner and it was ready when I got home.
We put the boys to bed early, around 8:00 since both were a little cranky.
Not only is October tough because of all of the breast cancer awareness promotions, but it is also the anniversary of the beginning of my journey back in 2009.
Angelina says, "There is more than one way to deal with any health issue. The most important thing is to learn about the options and choose what is right for you personally." I appreciate Angelina Jolie and all of the others that have chosen to be open about their health and share personal details.
Shortly after I finished chemo, my feet started feeling like someone took a hammer to them. At first, I thought I had an injury or arthritis. I went to a podiatrist and a rheumatologist, but they couldn’t find anything noticeably wrong. My x-rays looked fine.
