Day After Surgery

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Just Evan and I walked to school this morning since Noah is going to be staying home the whole week.  Unfortunately, that meant that Lizzy had to stay home as well.  She really wanted to come along.

When I got home, I did some work.  Noah woke up shortly after I got home.  He came down and started doing his homework.  I asked him if he wanted his medicine but he said no.  A little while later he started to really complain about his throat.  Getting him to take his medicine was very very difficult.  We really should have woken him up last night to take his medicine but since he was sleeping we let him sleep.  Once he did take his medicine, he felt somewhat better and was able to eat jello and rice and drink some Gatorade.  Rachel also went out and bought him a coffee cake from Starbucks.

Grandma came over and brought some matzoh balls that Noah ate as well.

I went into Aaron's for a bit.  On my way home, I stopped at HEB and did some light shopping.  I got more rice and Gatorade and some other things we needed as well.

Rachel walked to get Evan while I stayed home with Noah.

Rachel tutored in the afternoon.

For dinner we had flank steak.  Noah was able to eat a small piece of that.  He had jello after dinner.

We played Clue after dinner and this time Noah won!  I hadn't yet figure out the answer before Noah figured it out.  Everyone cheered for Noah.

The boys are getting ready for bed now.

Until next time...

Tutoring and Nice Weather

This morning we took it easy at home and then went to Noah's class at the Little Gym.

After the Little Gym Noah went to Cole's house and Evan came with me to tutoring.  I finished tutoring a little early and Evan was good, so we stopped at Rita's.  Evan got an Italian ice with half mango and half cherry.

We picked up Noah from home and then the boys played outside in the backyard.  The weather was great toady.  It was in the 70s and sunny.

For dinner we had leftover tacos from last night.

We went for a walk and the kids had Jello for dessert.

We are getting them ready for bed now.

Happy Birthday Dear Evan

Today was Evan's birthday. Both boys slept until about 8:30am, which is late for them.

I dropped the kids off at school and went to Walmart to get a few things including cupcakes for Evan's class.

Morry met me at school at 1pm and we had a little cupcake party for Evan and his school friends.

After school we stopped at the bank and then came home.

I made popcorn and the boys watched tv.

Blanca came at 3:45 and I left to tutor.

When Morry came home he took Evan and Noah to Evan's baseball practice. I met them there after tutoring.

For dinner we went to Red Lobster (Evan's choice). Evan ate a ton of crab and then got a sundae for dessert. He was very happy.

Earlier in the day I made Jello because I know how much Evan likes it. When we got home the boys had Jello and then we put them to bed.

Evan seemed very happy today. I'm glad he enjoyed his birthday. Since he had school today, tomorrow we are going to take the boys to Chuck E Cheese for lunch to celebrate both of their birthdays.

Spinach Sandwich and Gardening

This morning Noah gave me a hard time leaving the house. He didn't want his shoes on.

We went to the gym and I did a Pilates class.

When we got home the boys helped me plant the plants in pots. They enjoyed scooping up the soil from the bag and putting it in the pots. Evan and Noah also had a good time watering the plants too.

After we planted everything I made lunch. Evan wanted to sit outside to eat lunch. Noah got in a really bad mood and was throwing a fit about everything. He did that the whole entire time Evan and I were trying to eat our lunch. It seemed like Noah was just making up things to get upset about. When Evan sat down in his usual seat Noah threw a fit that he wanted to sit there. Then Noah was mad because I was eating lunch (?). He was screaming/crying I don't want you to eat lunch. Then Evan and I were talking about having the jello we made for dessert after dinner. Noah threw a fit saying "Jello is not for dessert". Like I said, I think he was just making up things to throw a fit about. It was not a very pleasant lunch, but somehow Evan ended up eating very well. Evan requested a spinach sandwich (spinach and bread only) and ate the whole thing. He also ate a side of tomatoes and a bowl of fruit (oranges and grapefruit).

Noah did eventually eat his lunch, but he didn't eat that much.

I put Noah down for a nap, but he just played in his room.

Gabby came at 4pm and I tutored late.

Morry and the boys had pasta for dinner and Morry put the boys to bed.
