That's a Wrap on the Weekend

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Evan's baseball tournament was cancelled for yesterday and they just did a one-day tournament today.  Noah still had a football game yesterday.  It didn't rain yesterday, but everything was very wet.  Luckily the football field was in good shape.

Noah was a defensive force.  They would line him up 7 yards off the football and have him blitz.  The rule is you have to be 7 yards away from the line of scrimmage to blitz.  Three times, Noah pulled the flag of the running back just after they took the ball from the quarterback.  While he didn't sack the quarterback at all, he was constantly in the quarterback's face or causing him to have to throw while running leading to poor throws.  When Noah blitzed, the QB didn't complete one pass. Noah's team won easily.

Evan, Noah and I met Alex and Jake Ramati at the movies last night to see Venom.  Jake is Noah's friend from 6 Points.  We had a nice time.

Rachel went to a CBD oil event for influencers with Deborah.  Then she and Deborah got dinner.

This morning, Evan and I got up early to go play in the tournament.  Two weeks ago, Evan had hurt his arm while pitching.  He really hasn't thrown since then until Friday night.  After Friday night, he said it hurt again.  We iced it yesterday and gave him Advil.  This morning, to be proactive, I gave him Advil and had ice on his arm on the way to the games.  He thought he'd be able to go, but during warm ups, he realized he couldn't throw.  He batted in both games, but he couldn't be in the field.  In the first game, he was the one calling the pitches by sending the signs into the catcher.  They won the first game in a shut out.  Evan took some credit for calling a good game.  In the second game, Evan was quite loud directing the kids where to stand or telling them when/where to throw.  He looked like a coach in the dugout.  It was pretty funny to see.

We brought his teammate Josiah back from the game and met his dad at Raising Cane's.  Evan got lunch there.

The boys both played outside with the neighborhood kids.  It was the first nice day we've had in a while.

For dinner, the boys didn't want to go out so we left them at home and both Rachel and I ate at Madam Mam's.

The boys are getting ready for bed now.

Until next time...

Thursday and Friday

Yesterday I went for a long run, but had to walk the last two miles because my ankle was bothering me.

We are petsitting for our neighbors and they dropped off their dog Luna around noon.

We all left the house around 4:30.   Morry, Evan, and Noah met Jake and his dad at the movies to see Wonder.  I met Deborah at a different theater to see Downsizing.

After the movies, Evan and Noah spent the night at Jake's house.

I went out to dinner at Mad Greens with Deborah and then met Morry at home.

This morning Morry and I picked up the kids at Jake's house at 10am.  They had a good time.

From there, we got breakfast at Biderman's.

Then, we went to the travel agent next door to get some ideas for a vacation for Morry and me this summer.

Evan had football practice at 2:30 today.  Morry took Chewie with them.

At 5:30 we picked up Grandma and Papa and went out to dinner with their friends and their friends' son and girlfriend.  We went to Fresa's, a chicken/tacos place.  It was very good.

We went to Grandma and Papa's for a little bit before coming home.

Now the kids are getting ready for bed.

Football and Hanukkah

This morning Morry and I took Chewie for a walk. 

Then, Morry ran out to pick up some bagels.

A little before noon Noah's friend Jake and his dad Alex came over to watch football.

I left around 12:30 to tutor and got home around 2:30.

The boys and men had a good time hanging out.

I took the boys to Sunday school at 4pm and then picked up a few things at Walgreens.

There was a Hanukkah party at Sunday school at 5pm.

Morry, Grandma, and Papa, met me there for the party.

Noah's group preformed a Hanukkah play.  Noah was the king and he really hammed it up.  Everyone enjoyed that.  The kids played dreidel, bingo, and more.  There were latkes.  It was quite a good turn out.

From there, we went to dinner at Maudie's with Grandma and Papa.

The last few days Evan has been complaining about his finger hurting.  He poked it with a paper clip at school on Thursday.  Today it was swollen and hurting even more, so Morry took him to an urgent care place after dinner.

They are on their way home now.  The doctor said Evan's finger is infected and prescribed some antibiotics.

Here are some pictures from today.
