The Day Before

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Today is the last day before school starts. Evan will be a first grader officially.  Noah will start his last year of preschool.  One year from now, Noah will begin Kindergarten.

I got up and I needed to go to Sam's Club.  Yesterday when we tried to take Rachel's car somewhere it flashed a message that the battery was going bad.  So I took it in to get a new battery.  Their prices were much better than NTB and I got some shopping done while they were replacing the battery.

On the way home, I stopped and got smoothies at the Smoothie King for everyone.  The guy who told the staff that I was his favorite customer was there so I got special treatment.

At home I got lunch ready for the kids.  Rachel had gotten up while I was gone and gotten the backpacks ready for the boys.  We hadn't gone through Evan's backpack since the end of school so Rachel cleaned it out as well as cleaning up a bunch of stuff in my office.

I spent the afternoon working but walked Evan over to Jack's house to play.  The boys were very excited to see each other.  One of the boys from their class last year, Jax, is in with Evan this year.  Jack thought that maybe they made a mistake and they meant to put Jack with Evan and they just mixed up the names.  Later in the afternoon, I went back and got Evan.  Noah came with me both times and played with the older boys while I talked with Jack's dad, John.

The boys played baseball outside when they got home.  Evan came inside screaming "Yes!" and ran into my office to tell me that Noah caught a ball in the air with his glove.

For dinner, we ordered Hula Hut and had it delivered.  We had a gift certificate left from a delivery place that brings food from restaurants that don't deliver.  Rachel got food ready for the boys.

We gave the boys showers and they are now in bed.  Hopefully they get some sleep for tomorrow.

Until next time...

Evan's Friend and Bike Riding

Today Noah didn't get to school until about 10am. He fell asleep really late last night and was still sleeping in this morning. I let him sleep until about 9:30am and woke him up for school.

Noah had a good day at school.

He stayed at home while I picked Evan up from school.

Around 4pm Evan's friend Jax and his mom, Anita came over. The boys all had a great time. They played outside some and then were doing a lot of running around upstairs.

After Jax left Evan wanted to ride his bike. Evan rode his bike around the block. He's getting a lot better about starting up on his own. He has a little bit of problems starting on a hill, but for the most part he did a good job. He also needs to work on breaking. He tends to use his feet to stop the bike.

For dinner we had food from the neighborhood pool grill delivered to us.

We are going to get the boys ready for bed now.

Drenched

We got a good rain today. It was misty most of the day.

Noah and I went to the library for storytime. I hadn't been to this particular library for storytime in a while, but someone recommended it recently. As we were parking it started to pour down rain. Noah and I got soaked. It wasn't that far to the building but there were puddles everywhere and my feet got all wet too.

Noah seemed to enjoy storytime. The librarian read a few books. One, Noah and I liked a lot. It's called Pete the Cat. "Pete the Cat goes walking down the street wearing his brand new white shoes. Along the way, his shoes change from white to red to blue to brown to WET as we steps in piles of strawberries, blueberries and other big messes! But no matter what color his shoes are are, Pete keeps movin' and groovin' and singing his song...because it's all good."

After the librarian read, the kids made hats (one book was about hats). The kids could pick from clown hats or crowns. Noah picked a crown. He decorated it and wore it all day.

Noah and I came home and had lunch. Then, Noah went to Cole's house for a playdate. They had a lot of fun.

From there, we picked up Evan from school and then went over to Jax's house for a playdate for Evan. Jax's mom invited us to stay and hang out. Noah didn't want to stay. He wouldn't even come in the house. He said he wanted to take a nap at home. So, I dropped off Noah at home with Morry and went back to Jax's house.

For dinner we had tacos, salad, and cornbread.

The boys are in bed now.
