This morning Morry, Evan, and I went to a Farmer's Market. Noah didn't want to go so we dropped him off at Grandma and Papa's first.
At the Farmer's Market, we got a ginger juice drink for Evan, some beef jerky, and some peaches.
Evan had baseball practice this afternoon.
For dinner we had leftovers.
After dinner, we got ice cream and shakes at Austin Scoops.
Now the boys are playing video games.

Camp Kesem
Today we mostly took it easy.
We had lunch at home.
The kids played video games in afternoon and went outside with Morry for a little bit.
Around 3:30 we left the house.
First, we stopped in Wimberley to get a snack before camp. We got cobbler and ice cream at a diner in the square.
Then, we went to Camp Young Judaea nearby to drop off the kids at Camp Kesem. It's their first time going to an overnight camp. They seemed really excited when we pulled up to the camp. I'm not sure what they were expecting, but Evan was especially excited when he saw all of the sports field they had. The have a baseball field! The drop off took about an hour. We had to check in and all kids got lice and temperature checks. Overall, the kids seemed pretty happy - a little nervous maybe. Everyone there seemed really happy to be there and returning to the camp. It was nice.
Morry and I went to Maudie's for dinner.
Here are some pictures from today.

The Belkin Athletes
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning, Evan had his first flag football game of the season. His team is the Raiders. I have to tell you, it is very hard for me to root for the Raiders. I just yell "come on guys!" Evan is in the third and fourth grade league and his team is all third graders. The other team today was all fourth graders and they were pretty big. It made a difference and the other team was able to win. But Evan had a great play in the second half. He was covering a boy who was much bigger and the quarterback threw to him. Evan cut in front of the boy dove and knocked the ball away and then somehow taking the kid out. The boys was laying on the field crying and Evan got up and went over to him and checked on him and then tried to pull him to his feet.
After the game, Evan and I went with the two other families to Maudie's for lunch. These are families of boys that Evan has played many sports and teams with. It was Evan and Darius and Carter and Carter's older brother Ben. They were really excited to be with each other. When we got to Maudie's all four boys went to the bathroom together. But somehow, only Evan, Darius, Ben came out and as they walked back to us they had big grins on. Apparently Ben was messing with Carter in the bathroom and they all thought it was funny. Carter was all right and he was smiling when he came out. After lunch, Darius' dad Daniel bought ice cream for the boys.
When Evan and I got home, we picked up Noah to go to Noah's baseball game. I had promised Noah last night that we could go to Smoothie King on the way.
Noah had a very good game. He struck out in his first at bat. In his second at bat he hit a hard grounder to third and then took second on the overthrow. In his third at bat, he didn't get much of a ball but he put it down the third base line in between the foul line, the pitcher, the catcher and third base. No one went to get the ball so I sent Noah to second base. What ever player picked it up threw so wildly to second that it went into the middle of the outfield and Noah came all the way around to score. Everyone was cheering for Noah. He played pitcher quite a bit because he makes great throws to first base. He stopped a shot in the fourth inning and threw just a tad late to get the boy. Noah's team lost in a walk off so Noah was upset but he did well and should be proud of himself.
We came home and had dinner.
The boys are in their rooms.
Until next time...

Stay at Home
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Today, we really didn't do anything. Evan was up first and playing in the game room. Noah got up shortly after I got up. He and Evan continued building their baseball stadium. We are going to take video of their stadium with the boys describing it, but have not done so yet. We will post when we do that.
In the afternoon, Rachel took the boys out to play baseball in the front yard. It was very hot and humid today so that played for a while and then came in.
Later in the afternoon, Rachel and the boys made ice cream for after dinner. It's the way Rachel and Evan made it several years ago but putting cream and vanilla and ice in a bag and shaking it. Evan had his ice cream after dinner. He seemed to like it.
For dinner, we had some leftovers combined with some new food. The boys ate well.
The boys cleaned up their rooms and then we took a walk. Now they are cleaning up the game room.

Many Activities
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Evan was not sore this morning. In fact, he was in a great mood and was very playful before school.
Noah got up and played Wii for a while. Rachel eventually got him to go outside with her and play some baseball.
At 12:30, Cole came over. They played Wii for a while and then went into the cul-de-sac and rode their scooters.
Rachel picked Evan up with Noah and they got ice cream. We had a gift certificate that was going to expire today.
When Evan came home, he played baseball for a bit and then did his homework.
Noah had a game at 5:45 and Evan had practice at 6pm. Rachel was tutoring. One parent could take Evan if we dropped him off at their place, but the boy on Evan's team had swimming before that. So Rachel dropped Evan off at their place on her way to tutoring.
Around 5, I took Noah to his baseball game. He really did well in the field. In left field he stopped a ball and threw it to second. They almost got the boy out. It would have been Noah's first assist. He also ran really well on a ball hit to the outfield when he was on first. He didn't hesitate at second. He picked up the third base coach and kept going and ended up scoring. It was one of his best games of the season.
From there, we went over and watched the last 30 minutes of Evan's practice. He was being aggressive as usual. He slid into home and got a scrape and a cut on his ankle. The coach told Evan that he loved Evan's cut. It showed he was playing hard.
On the way home we picked up McDonald's for the boys. They finished their food on before we got home.
I put the boys to bed although they are not sleeping.

Memorial Day - Pool and BBQ
This morning Morry did some work. We ate lunch and then went to the pool. The kids were very excited to go swimming again. We were at the pool for about an hour. Evan and Noah were good and had fun.
We needed more dog food so we called the pet store near us to see how late they were open. When I called they said 5:00. It was about 6 minutes 'till 5 and I thought I could probably get there in time. I got there at 4:59, but the store was already dark and the door was locked. That was pretty annoying. We have canned food we can give Lizzy tomorrow until we can get her some more food.
We invited Jack's family over for dinner. Morry picked up Salt Lick and I got the house ready and cleaned up.
We had a nice time tonight. The kids enjoyed playing together. Jack has a sister in 2nd grade.
They brought ice cream and cherry pie for dessert.
We just got the boys ready for bed. They were supposed to have clean up night tonight, but it got too late.

10 Years!
I ran 3 miles pushing the boys in the stroller.
Then, at 10am we had our first swim lesson with Ms. Kathy. There were 9 kids of various ages in the class. Evan was one of the oldest and best. There was a girl who was maybe 8 or 9 and she swam a little better than Evan. Evan was the only one who didn't cry. There was a ton of crying. She said that's typical and gets better over time. To encourage Noah I told him he could decide where to get ice cream when we were done. He chose McDonalds.
After McDonalds we went to Target and ran into Morry there. I didn't know he was going to be there and the boys were super excited to see him.
At 4pm Gabby came over. I had a meeting with an MBSquared client to talk about marketing, social media, and other suggestions.
Then, Morry and I met for dinner at the Mansion at Judges Hill. Today is the 10 year anniversary of our first date. 10 Years! We had a nice dinner.
When we got home the boys were happy and already and already in their pajamas. They are still playing in their rooms.
Tomorrow is another swim lesson. I'll let you know how it goes.
Here's a video from today's swim lesson.

Last Day of School
Today was the last day of school. It was Evan's last day at that school - his last day of preschool.
Noah threw a major, one-hour fit this morning. That was not fun.
While the boys were at school I went for a run and got some things done around the house.
Evan's class had a field trip to the pool (right next to school). I came a little early and met them there. Evan was having a great time in the pool.
Noah's class rode bikes and made ice cream sundaes.
After school we came home and the boys were pretty good. Noah did not nap.
For dinner we had corn on the cob. I had fish and Morry had pork.
As I left to take Lizzy on a walk I notice a couple of puddles in our grass in the front yard. It turns out we have some kind of sprinkler leak. Even though the sprinklers weren't running, somehow 2 of them were dripping water. Morry turned off the water to the sprinklers, so we'll have to figure out how to get those fixed now.
The boys are in their rooms, but not asleep yet.

Barbecue and Strawberries
This morning we took a little day road trip. Our first stop was Coopers Barbecue in Llano. We met Matt's family there. Everyone enjoyed the food. That's Morry's happy place. He said it's the best barbecue he has ever had. He looks forward to it every time.
After Coopers we went to Marble Falls to Sweet Berry Farms. Right now they have strawberry picking. The kids had fun picking (and eating) strawberries. We sat down in the shade and had strawberry ice cream and strawberry popsicles.
Most of the restaurants near us are closed today so we just made pasta for dinner.
We just got the boys ready for bed. Noah is not being good right now. He wouldn't help clean up and now he's throwing a fit in his room.

Mason Threw Up + Evan's Valentine's Party
This morning before school we stopped at the post office to send some Valentine's cards.
Evan was very upset when I dropped him off for some reason, but his teachers told me he calmed down very quickly.
Evan's Valentine's Day party was at school today. I came during their lunch to help set up. Morry came for the party. Evan's class did a book exchange. Evan got Star Wars books. They also exchanged cards and made ice cream sundaes.
When I picked Noah up the first thing he said to me was, "Mason threw up today." I guess that was a big deal for the kids? They had a "field trip" to the mailboxes (just outside the school property) to mail some Valentine's cards. Noah told me Mason threw up outside while they were walking to the mailboxes. When Noah came in Evan's room and saw Morry, Noah immediately told Morry about Mason as well.
Gabby came at 4pm and I tutored.
Before I got home Morry called Jack/Zayde and Noah wanted to talk to him. Guess what the first thing was he said to him... "Mason threw up."
For dinner we had pulled pork I made in the crock pot. I combined 2 recipes and it was really good. First you rub the pork roast with some spices, add an onion, and ginger ale. We didn't have ginger ale. Morry told me once that ginger ale is just Coke and Sprite combined. So, I added a can of each. You cook on low for many hours. I did 7 hours. Then you remove the liquid, pull the pork apart, and then pour barbecue sauce over every thing and cook for another few hours. It was good and really easy.
After dinner we cleaned up. The boys helped clean up their rooms. We are having some of Evan's friends and their moms over in the afternoon tomorrow.
The boys had baths and are now in bed.
here are some pictures and a video from today.

Back to School - Yea!
Hooray! The boys went back to school today. :)
I had to wake Noah up a little before 9am so we could leave the house. Evan and Noah were both good a drop off.
I was able to do some stuff around the house today. My project now is cleaning up the office/bedroom downstairs. I'm finding all sorts of things. I found some old pictures, an American Airlines wing pin (? don't know where/when that was from), my blue sequin shoes from prom, lots of computer equipment including some 3 1/2 inch floppy disks. What do I do with those? Are there even computers around that can still read them?
Evan was in a good mood when I picked him up, but Noah got really cranky as we were leaving. I'm not sure what set him off. I had to fight him to get him in his car seat. He kept saying he wanted Daddy to do it. Daddy was at work.
When we got home I tried to get Noah to nap, but was unsuccessful.
For dinner we finished the stuffed peppers from yesterday and had some rolls and salad to go along with it.
Evan ate really well. He finished his whole plate of shrimp, tomatoes, spinach, yogurt, and veggie booty.

Playdate
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning, everyone slept in a bit. Both boys took a long time to go to sleep last night. In fact, Noah and I had it out. He was being really bad. He ended up falling asleep at his gate. When I went to move him to his bed, he had pulled the comforter and his top sheet off the bed. He had thrown toys out into the hallway. His room was a disaster. He just works himself up when he gets upset.
When we got up, we got breakfast for the boys. Then, Rachel took Evan and Noah to Evan's friend, Ben's, house. His mom had invited Evan over to play and said that Noah was welcome to join. I stayed home to go through papers and things. Ben has an 8 year old sister and apparently, she was leading the group of four with activities. They also had a trampoline in the backyard with netting around the sides. The boys just loved that.
Eventually, Rachel and Noah left to go to HEB to get some things for dinner and dessert. Evan stayed with Ben and had lunch over there. This was his first time basically being dropped off at a friend's house.
Rachel came home and got me and we all went over to pick Evan up. Evan didn't want to leave and was very angry when we got him.
We had to run a few errands - we picked up some movies from Red Box, got gas, and stopped for slushes at Sonic.
For dinner, we had homemade pizzas. I got dough and sauce ready for a pizza for Evan and Noah. Then they put the cheese on the pizza and put what they wanted on their own half of the pizza. Noah chose pepperoni and Evan chose black olives and pepperoni.
For dessert, Rachel got waffle bowls and ice cream and a bunch of different toppings - including sprinkles, marshmallows, gummy worms, Oreos, sour gummy Lifesavers, M&Ms (we had those already), and candy corn (again, we already had these). I scooped the ice cream and the boys were allowed to add stuff to their ice cream. They really enjoyed it. It was like those new frozen yogurt places that charge you by weight.
The kids just had baths and we are letting them lay down in our bed and watch a movie. We have hicks in our neighborhood who set off fireworks and we know that, not only because of the amount of sugar from dessert, but the fireworks will keep the kids up. So we're making it a special treat.
Until next time...

Playdate
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Last night, around midnight, Noah started crying. Rachel went in there several times and each time, Noah would calm down. When she left he'd start crying again. She changed his diaper but there didn't seem to be anything wrong with him. We eventually just had to let him cry. He ended up falling asleep at the gate.
Evan didn't get up with me this morning. But the boys got up shortly after I left. I assume that since Noah's door was open and he was sleeping on the floor that he must have heard me. Apparently, when they got up the boys were really hyper.
Rachel decided to just get up and they went to Newflower to get fruits and vegetables. The boys got to ride in the car cart so they were happy.
At 10am, Evan's friend Ben came over to play. Rachel said that they had a great time. She said they really enjoyed playing together. Rachel enjoyed talking with Ben's mom. All in all, it was a very nice time.
Neither boy ate much for lunch.
Rachel went to tutor and Gabby came to babysit.
When I got home, I took the boys to Chick-Fil-A for dinner. Both boys were incredibly well behaved and they both ate very very well. It took Evan a long time to eat but he finished just about all of his food. I let them play on the playset there and then they got some ice cream for dessert.
We came home and Noah decided to be bad. He wouldn't clean up and he wasn't listening when I was reading Harry Potter. I ended up just putting him to bed and finish up reading in Evan's room.
Oh, and Evan's funny line of the night. We were telling Noah how Evan got to hold a baby alligator in Florida this past March. Evan said that he "almost freaked out" when holding the alligator. Where did he even learn that phrase. And by the way, he did not almost freak out. He was very calm.
Until next time...
Last night, around midnight, Noah started crying. Rachel went in there several times and each time, Noah would calm down. When she left he'd start crying again. She changed his diaper but there didn't seem to be anything wrong with him. We eventually just had to let him cry. He ended up falling asleep at the gate.
Evan didn't get up with me this morning. But the boys got up shortly after I left. I assume that since Noah's door was open and he was sleeping on the floor that he must have heard me. Apparently, when they got up the boys were really hyper.
Rachel decided to just get up and they went to Newflower to get fruits and vegetables. The boys got to ride in the car cart so they were happy.
At 10am, Evan's friend Ben came over to play. Rachel said that they had a great time. She said they really enjoyed playing together. Rachel enjoyed talking with Ben's mom. All in all, it was a very nice time.
Neither boy ate much for lunch.

Evan and Rachel Bike Ride
This morning Papa went to Hillel and Morry took Grandma there a little bit later to meet him for brunch.
During the Steelers game Evan and I went for a bike ride. First we went to the park at the school. There’s a little pond there and we watched people fish. Evan ate his lunch on the pier. Then, we rode over to the ice cream shop. Evan got birthday cake ice cream with sprinkles.
A little after we got home Grandma and Papa got back to the house.
Evan was swinging outside and all of the sudden the swing broke. One side came out of the top part where the swing chain connects to the bar. We were worried Evan was hurt, but I think it mostly just scared him. Now, we need to contact the company that makes the swing set. Obviously, that shouldn’t happen.
Grandma and Papa left to drive back to Dallas.
Later in the afternoon we went over to Sam’s Club and then picked up dinner at Little Caesars on the way home. Both boys ate very well.
We just got Evan and Noah ready for bed. Morry is reading a book to them now.
Here are some pictures from yesterday along with 2 videos.

With Noah
This morning I dropped Evan off at school and then Noah and I went to the gym. I did the dance jam class and then swam a few laps. Noah cried when I first dropped him off at the childcare. He prefers to be there with Evan. When I picked him up, he seemed happy.
We came home for a little bit and ate lunch.
When I picked Evan up the class was outside playing. Noah ran up to Evan and gave him a hug.
When we got home Noah took a nap and Evan watched tv.
Morry and Jeremy, his friend from work, picked up Torchy’s Tacos for us on the way home. They messed up my order and gave me sausage tacos. I gave Noah the sausage and he loved it. Jeremy gave me one of his tacos to eat.
I left to tutor and Morry, Jeremy, Evan, and Noah went to get ice cream.
When I came home the boys were in bed. Evan came downstairs because he got the tiniest little cut on his wrist. I couldn’t even see it at first. He insisted he needed ice. We didn’t feel like arguing so we let him bring the ice pack to his room.

Noah gets in trouble again at playgroup
This morning we went to playgroup at Kate’s house. Evan was the only older boy there. The rest of 3 year-olds were girls. Evan and Noah still had fun. Evan played with the microphone a lot. At one point the girls were at a table playing tea party. They had some kind of mini tea cup set with dishes, cups, and saucers. We were all sitting in the same room. I’m not sure what happened, but somehow Noah got a tea cup and it broke on the floor. I felt horrible. He’s going to get us kicked out of playgroup.
We were at playgroup until about 12:30. We came home and ate lunch. Evan said he wanted macaroni and cheese. So I made a box for him, he ate maybe one bite of it. He did eat his other food though.
I put Evan and Noah down for naps around 2:00. Noah napped, but Evan did not.
After Noah woke up, took the boys in the backyard and gave them haircuts. Morry came home during the haircuts.
For dinner we went to BJs. Evan and Noah were not very well behaved and didn’t eat so well. We had a coupon for a free dessert. We told Evan he could have dessert if he ate some of his pizza. He told us he didn’t want the dessert. Morry and I just ended up sharing it. Noah ate a lot of the ice cream on top.
Evan and Noah are in bed now in Noah’s room. It’s still noisy in there. I just heard Noah repeating, “E-F-G”.

Walk and Smoothies
This morning I took care of the boys and let Morry sleep some.
Evan, Noah, and I came downstairs. I cut up some fruit for them for breakfast and then made some cinnamon rolls (opened a can and put in the oven).
When Morry came downstairs we ate the cinnamon rolls and then got ready to go take a walk.
We walked around the shopping center where Costco is. They have a nice little path around the center. After walking, we got smoothies. I had won 2 free ones last week because I followed them on Twitter. We got our 2 smoothies and bought one more for the boys to split.
On the way home we stopped at CVS so that I could run in a buy a few things.
When we got home we put the boys down for naps. They both took good naps.
For dinner we had leftover fajitas from last night. It was nice not having to make anything for diner.
After dinner, Evan said he wanted to go somewhere for dessert. We decided to make ice cream instead. We made the ice cream in baggies which worked out really well. Morry did most of the shaking.
We just gave the boys baths and put them to bed. I hear Evan moving around in the hallway upstairs. I need to go up there and check on him and get him back in bed.

School. Then Ice Cream
Evan woke up early this morning while Morry was getting ready for work. Morry got Evan set up in the gameroom and I stayed in bed a little longer. Around 7:45am Evan came in my room and asked to get dressed. A little after that Noah woke up.
I fed and dressed the boys and took Evan to school. Noah and I got gas for the car and then came home. Around 11am Noah got really cranky so I put him down for a short nap.
Noah and I ate lunch and then went to pick up Evan.
When we got to the classroom door I left Noah go in first. He immediately ran in to try and find Evan. Everyone was saying, “Hi Noah.”
After school we went to get ice cream. I got a free ice cream coupon from Baskin Robbins because it’s my birthday month. I chose a scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. Evan got a vanilla soft serve cone. Noah had a little of ours, but he was more interested in walking around the store. Evan ate his whole entire ice cream, cone and all.
We came home and I put Evan and Noah down for naps. Neither of them were napping. I let Evan play in the gameroom and eventually it got quiet in Noah’s room. Evan played in the gameroom while I got dinner ready.
For dinner we had pork tenderloin, couscous, and black beans. Evan didn’t eat very much at dinner. Noah ate his hot dog, but that’s about it. Morry was trying to get Evan to eat his broccoli, but said banana by accident. That got Noah all excited about bananas and we had to give him one. It was the last banana we had in the house.
After dinner, Evan and Noah were running around playing. Evan put his underwear on his head and was acting very silly.
We just put Evan and Noah to bed, but Evan has already come out of his room.

Morry’s Birthday
This morning Evan woke up right before Morry left for work. Morry gave Evan breakfast and put a movie on for him in the gameroom.
We were supposed to go to playgroup today, but the hosting kid got sick and they had to cancel. Instead, we went to the JCC for Tot Shabbat.
Evan and Noah seemed to have a good time there. Evan was one of the oldest kids there though.
After the JCC we met Morry at his work and then went out to lunch. We got pizza at Mangia. Evan and Noah gave Morry the birthday cards they made for him.
We came home and I put the boys down for naps. Evan slept really well. Noah only napped a little.
When Morry came home Evan ran up to him and asked him to open his present. Then, Evan said “we got a shirt for you.” Evan doesn’t quite understand the surprise part of gift giving. At least I didn’t tell Evan what the other gift was. I also got Morry Guitar Hero (a game package for wii). Morry played a little Guitar Hero before dinner.
For dinner we met Morry’s friends Joszef and Janos at Benihana to celebrate Morry’s birthday. We had to wait a while for our table. It was hard waiting there with Evan and Noah. Noah wanted to walk around, but it wasn’t safe as there were lots of waiters and people walking back and forth.
Dinner was fun. We enjoyed watching the guy cook in front of us. Evan and Noah were tough. Noah hardly ate anything and threw most of the food on the floor. A little before the guy starting cooking, Evan became really clingy with Morry and was like that for the whole show. Evan did end up eating a lot of shrimp. He ate Morry’s appetizer shrimp and then all the shrimp that came with my meal. For dessert, they sang and brought ice cream for Morry. Morry and Evan shared the ice cream. Noah had a few bites.
On the way home we had to stop for gas and then drive to Matt’s house. Morry needed to pick up Matt’s car so that he can pick Matt and the kids up from the airport tomorrow.
It was a late night for the boys. It’s almost 11pm and they just went to bed.
