Today was Noah's last day of school. Morry, Evan, and I went to Noah's party at school at noon. The kids decorated gingerbread houses. Evan got to do one too. Noah seemed very happy to have us there.
We took it easy this afternoon.
We went over to Nathan's house and Jack's house to drop off cookies for their families.
Tonight we ran out to Target to get a gift card for a birthday and then picked up food for dinner.
We got Little Caesars for the boys and Thai Taste for us.
We just finished eating dinner. We told the boys that if they were good tonight they could sleep in the same room. They choose to sleep in Evan's room. We'll see how that goes.

Evan's Birthday
This morning we all walked Evan to school. He seemed very happy to have all of us with him this morning.
We planned on meeting Evan for lunch and bringing him lunch and donuts for the class.
Evan's class eats very early, at 10:30am. The restaurants Evan likes were not serving lunch at that time. We tried Little Caesars and McDonalds. Little Caesars wasn't open and McDonalds was not yet serving lunch at 10am. We had no problem getting donuts though. Evan asked us to get coffee for Mr. V too. I'm not sure why, but that's what Evan wanted.
We ended up going back home quickly to get lunch together to bring to school since we were not able to pick up any lunch food.
Evan was happy to see us at school. Noah enjoyed sitting with the class in the cafeteria.
Noah had his sports class today and had fun in there.
On the way home we stopped at HEB.
When we got home Grandmom was there. Noah stayed at home while I got Evan at school.
Evan had a baseball game at 5:45 that we all went to.
For dinner, Evan wanted Little Caesars. We got that for him and Blue Bamboo for the rest of us.
For dessert, Evan choose to get Slurpees from 7-11.
The boys had a bath and now they are in bed.
Here are pictures and video from today.

Noah's 4th Birthday
Noah was in a good mood today.
We kept asking him what he wanted to do today and he would just say, "I don't know." We gave him a few suggestions. He finally decided he wanted to have lunch at McDonalds.
We had an appointment at Wonders and Worries at 10am, which Noah was looking forward to. He enjoyed it there and then we met Morry at McDonalds. Morry and I didn't want to eat there so we just ordered food for Noah. Noah ate some there and then we went to Brugger's Bagels nearby so Morry and I could eat lunch. We sat outside to eat and Noah finished his food there.
After lunch we went to Rita's Italian Ice and all got water ice (as Morry calls it). It happened to be free as a First Day of Spring promotion they were having.
We went home and Noah was happy just sitting and watching tv. His stomach was bothering him and I think that's part of why he didn't want to do anything.
I got Evan from school and we went to the book fair. Evan picked out two books. He got Pete the Cat and some other book about space.
At home the boys were happy playing wii and Leapster and just hanging out.
Noah said he wanted to eat at home for dinner. Morry picked up Little Caesars for the boys and Blue Bamboo for us.
After dinner we played in the cul-de-sac for a little bit.
The boys are finishing up their baths now and then we'll put them to bed.

Better Noah and Errands
Noah was good this morning. He woke up early, but was in a good mood and went to school without a fight.
While Noah was at school I ran some errands and went to my Pilates class.
Noah was in a good mood at pick up.
I got Evan at school and he was also in a good mood.
Gabby came over at 4pm and I tutored.
While I was tutoring tonight Morry and the boys picked up pizza from Little Caesars and went to Petco.
I got home a little after 8pm. Morry had gotten the boys ready for bed.
They are both asleep now.

Back at School
The boys were excited to be at school again today. Drop off was easy.
After dropping the boys off I went for a doctor's appointment. I had a check up with my oncologist and everything looks good so far.
I went to Target to get Evan's school supplies. It was busy there. I wasn't the only one with that idea. I got everything we need for Evan's kindergarten class.
Evan and Noah had a good day at school.
At home, they played outside while I got my lunch ready and then ate it. Even though it was 100 degrees they didn't seem to mind. They weren't out there that long because I wanted Noah to come in for him nap.
Morry came home a little later today, so he picked up Little Caesars pizza on his way home.
We are about to put the boys to bed.
That video from our trip is uploading now. I was having trouble with it. I'll try to get it up as soon as a I can.

Birthday Party
What a great, but exhausting day!
The birthday party was a success. We had about 60 people here to help us celebrate the boys' birthdays.
We had pizza from Home Slice and Little Caesars along with popcorn, cake, and fruit. And to finish it all off we had a pinata as well. Everyone seemed to have a great time.
After the party we had a lot of leftover pizza so Noah, Evan, and I went downtown to the Salvation Army to give them 2 full pizzas.
We just got back.
We are going to eat some leftovers for dinner and then get the boys ready for bed.

Long Day
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
The day began early for Rachel. She got up to go to meet with a running group downtown. Evan was up while Rachel was getting ready.
I got up after the boys were playing. When I came out of my room, I could hear Evan and Noah playing. I realized they were playing in Evan's room and they had the door closed. It sounded like they were throwing a ball and trying to catch it. I don't know. But they were definitely having a good time.
Rachel came home around 11:30 after she went to Luke's Locker - a running shoe store - and got some new running shoes for herself.
When she got home, Evan and I left to go to the park. I wanted to bring our tee for him to hit off of at a baseball field and work with him on running the bases. We stopped at the bank to deposit some checks before we went and then we went to the park. It was a really nice day. I set the tee up at home plate and then I'd yell out "single", "double", "triple" or "home run" after he hit a ball and I wanted him to tell me what base to run to and he'd run to it. I worked with him on running the right direction and to drop the bat after he hit the ball. He picked it up very quickly and he seemed to know which direction to run before I even told him. We both had a good time. Sunday is Evan's first tee ball practice so I wanted to introduce him to concepts he hadn't done before so he'd be more prepared.
We came home and had lunch and the went upstairs because Rachel was having a student over to tutor.
When Rachel finished tutoring, we left to go to Barry and Lisa's for Lincoln's third birthday party. As soon as we got there, Evan and Noah asked to go outside to play on the swing set out back. At one point, Noah and Lincoln were on the glider together. It was very cute.
After the party, we drove back home, stopping at Little Caesar's to pick up a pizza for the boys. Rachel had arranged for us to go to a cooking class at Central Market and Blanca was coming over to babysit. We got the boys set up with dinner, Blanca came and we jumped back into the car to drive to Central Market.
The cooking class was good. We had taken one there before. Actually it was before we had kids so it was a long time ago. They have a kitchen set up and you watch them cook it, like a cooking show and then they serve you the food. The chef obviously like pork products because there was some appetizer with serrano ham, prosciutto covered asparagus, and bacon in the scalloped potatoes. But it was good and Rachel and I enjoyed ourselves.
We had planned to see Just Go With It as we had a Groupon for Fandango that we had purchased a while back and it was expiring. Since we had a babysitter, we figured we'd just see a movie. The cooking class ended a bit earlier than we expected, so we had some time to kill. We bought some stuff at Central Market to kill some time.
The movie was very good. Of course, Rachel and I are Adam Sandler fans, but really it was enjoyable.
When we got home, we heard crying. It turns out that Evan had heard the garage door. It woke him up and he had run to the window overlooking the garage crying for me. Apparently, he had told Blanca he was going to wait up all night for me and he had fallen asleep. I guess he was worried that somehow he wouldn't see me or something. I don't know. But Rachel held him for a bit and then he wanted to come to me and I put him to bed after reading Captain Underpants. I read that to him every night and I think he had been a bit upset that I hadn't read it to him tonight. I think he's asleep now.
Until next time...

I Got A Feeling...Pittsburgh's Going to the Super Bowl
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
The title of the blog is a line in a chant that the Steelers fans would say in the 70s It's been adapted into countless songs since then. Well the Steelers are headed to their eight Super Bowl and 3rd since February 2006. The game looked like a blowout, got tense at the end, but the Steelers hung on. Whew!
This morning, Rachel got up with the boys and made cinnamon rolls. The boys got up relatively late for them - around 9am - which was nice.
When I came down we ate and then we went to run several errands. We had to return a few things and then Rachel wanted to get some soaps at Bath and Body Works because they were on sale. Borders is next door and they sell Star Wars Legos. Evan and Noah each had $10 to spend so they brought their wallets. Actually as we left, Noah said he didn't have his wallet so we turned around and went back home. Rachel searched the house and then realized that Noah really did have it in the car.
At Borders, Evan bought the Legos and Noah got three Golden Books. The total came to $19.86. So I gave them each 7 cents of the change.
When we got home, it was nap time and Noah stayed in his room a bit. He watched the movie Cars.
After a little while, Noah came downstairs and they had snacks. We watched some TV before the Steelers game started.
Rachel went and picked up Little Caesars for dinner. The boys and I ate at the coffee table.
They are still up now. Evan is whining and crying that he wants milk.

Recovering
Today we stayed at home. Evan was doing a lot better, but he was still showing signs of having a cold. Noah and I have been trying to fight off a cold as well, so I decided it was best to stay at home today.
I cleaned up while the boys played. I also gave Lizzy a trim on the upstairs porch.
For dinner Evan and Noah wanted pizza so Morry ran out and picked up Little Caesars for us. Evan and Noah didn't eat much.
After dinner I made chocolate chip cookies.
We just gave the boys baths. Oh, and Noah figured out how to make fart noises with his mouth and he and Evan thought that was the funniest thing ever. They are totally into the potty humor right now.
Evan and Noah are both in bed, but not asleep yet.

Battles
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning we decided to go to HEB. We needed to get ingredients for our Thanksgiving meal. Normally, if you go around 10am to HEB on a Sunday, it's not too crowded. I guess many people are at church. Today, on the other hand, with Thanksgiving right around the corner, it was pretty crowded. To be honest, I felt like HEB at least at the checkouts were somewhat unprepared for the rush.
We let the boys walk with us and not go in the cart. They weren't that well behaved. Several times they started fighting with each other. Sometimes they didn't listen about when we needed to move on. They were in good moods, just somewhat hyper.
We got home and I made some Pillsbury cinnamon buns for brunch. Then the Steelers game came on. The boys fought more than they normally do. I felt like I kept having to yell at them. I don't know what their deal was. Rachel spent the entire game cleaning the upstairs in preparation for our company.
The Steelers won by the way. Oh, and the NFL referees suck. Roger Goodell sucks. And Richard Seymour is a bum who should never be allowed to play again.
At the end of the game, Rachel put Noah down for a nap. He may have slept for a little bit, but it wasn't very long.
For dinner, we offered to bring Matt and Rachael and family pizza. We thought we'd pick up Little Caesar's on the way. But the one we were planning on going to apparently closed down...a long time ago. Thank you, yp.com - I will make sure never to use that site again. So we had to go way out of the way and the people there were not bright and so it took about 20 minutes just to get the pizza.
Our time with the Podbers was nice though. All the kids played together the whole time. It was very loud upstairs but it seemed like everyone got along. The only problem we had is I think we stayed too long. Evan pretty much had a meltdown on the way home.
We got home and after Evan and I fought for a while as I threatened to throw out his light saber, he went to sleep pretty quickly. Noah is still up though.

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.

More Football
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
At around 7:30 this morning, I heard the Star Wars CD turn on. I knew Evan was up. But then I fell back asleep and woke up around 9. Evan still hadn't come into our room. I assumed he must have fallen back asleep. He actually just got up, got himself dressed, got himself breakfast, and turned on the TV in the gameroom and was quietly watching television.
Noah got up much closer to 10am.
We decided to walk to the elementary school and let the kids play there. Evan initially said he didn't want to go, but once we got there, he really enjoyed himself. The boys spent most of the time on the swings.
We came home and Rachel and I ate lunch. The boys didn't want anything. Then I put on the Steelers game. Evan was misbehaving at the beginning of the game but calmed down.
The Steelers were winning 19-3 with 3 minutes to go. With about a minute to go the Titans scored and got the 2-point conversion to be down 19-11. As they were attempting an onsides kick, Evan decided that was the best time to want to have a pillow fight with me. Then when the Titans recovered the onsides kick and were attempting to tie up the game, Evan decided he wanted to get into my lap and every time I went to look around him, he moved his face in front of my face so I couldn't see the tv. I just want to know, which one of you who read the blog paid him off to do that to me?
After the game, we heard the ice cream truck. Evan and I went out and he got a Batman popsicle. We got one for Noah too. Then, Evan and I played Star Wars for a bit. That made him want to watch Return of the Jedi.
When Noah got up, we went to HEB and did our shopping for the week. We stopped at Little Caesar's on the way home and got a pizza for dinner.
The boys are in bed now but are still awake.

School Tomorrow
Today was a busy day. It took us a while to finally get out of the house, but once we did, we were busy. First, I took the boys in the stroller to Town Lake. I ran, but mostly walked around the 3 mile loop. It was already really hot at 11am.
Evan and Noah were really good on the walk. We were all pretty hot so I suggested we go to the gym to swim. I had planned ahead and had everything in the car just in case.
Evan and Noah really enjoy swimming, but it is hard work. First I had to dress them and sunscreen them. They were super excited and were not always listening to me. We stayed at the pool for a while, but getting them out and dressed again was tough. They insisted on taking a shower. The whole process took a really long time.
I needed a couple of things at CVS, which is right next to the gym. On the way home we stopped at CVS. That ended up taking a while because the boys were super excited there and wanted to touch and see everything.
We finally got home around 2 something. I made them lunch and then put Noah down for a late nap.
I had wanted to go to HEB today, but ran out of time. We needed a lot of stuff including things for school tomorrow.
When Morry got home we all went over to HEB and did a huge shopping trip. It took a long time. On the way home we picked up a pizza and breadsticks from Little Caesers.
We had a late dinner and then put Evan and Noah to bed. We’ve been getting stuff together for both of them for school tomorrow.
It will be Noah’s first day ever at school. Noah is just going from 9 -11am tomorrow. For the first day they have the 2 year-olds just coming for 2 hours. Evan will be there from 9am -1:30pm.

Day of Cousins
This morning both boys got up somewhat early. I spent the morning cleaning up more. Evan watched as I made my bed and Noah’s bed. He said he wanted to make his own bed. He was very proud of himself. Here are a few pictures.
Also, lately Evan likes to style his own hair. He'll get his hair wet in the sink and then comb it. This morning I saw him helping Noah style his hair too. Very cute!
Sherah, JW, Nolan, and Court came over around 12. They picked up pizza from Little Caesars. Evan and Noah were so excited when they got here. The boys played very well together. After eating Sherah and I took Noah and Court party shopping. We went to Party City and Walmart to find some things for Lauren’s shower.
When we got home Noah was pretty tired so I put him down for a nap. They left pretty soon after.
Morry took Mottel to the vet today for a check up. Mottel has been shedding more than usual and they think it’s from his steroids, so they are lowering the dosage hoping to get him off them completely in a few months.
For dinner we went to Boston Market and then went to Matt and Rachael’s house for Rachael’s shower. We brought the kids with us. The men watched tv and the kids played upstairs mostly during the shower. At one point Noah was with the men and was eating grapes on a plate on the floor (there was no table in the room). Noah was jumping around and somehow tripped and ending falling and sitting right on the plate of grapes and smooshed them. Everyone thought it was pretty funny, even Noah.
We got home around 10pm and put the boys to bed. It has been a long day.

What Do You Get When You Mix Two Hyper Kids and Sea World?
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
If you guessed "two very tired parents" as the answer to the title of this blog you win...a nice pat on the back. Rachel arranged a trip to San Antonio for my birthday this year. We had a free night stay to use at the Hilton Palacio del Rio so we decide to use that. We thought we'd go to Sea World and then check in at the hotel, let Noah take a nap, and then go back to Sea World. Things didn't go exactly as planned.
Saturday began before 7:30am when Evan came in the room. He was excited to go. We got up, got ready to go, and woke Noah up and drove down. By the time we actually got into the park, between driving to San Antonio, parking and getting through the entrance it was just before 11am. We tried, immediately, to get into the Shamu show but it was already full. Evan and I went on a water rapids ride and go soaked in the interim. We tried going to a water skiing show but the boys didn't really like that. We ended up seeing the Shamu show later on and we got wet when Shamu splashed us. Noah thought that was great.
We went to the rides and Rachel took Evan on a kids roller coaster. I think Evan was a bit scared once he saw how fast it moved.
We ended up watching the dolphins before heading to the hotel.
I dropped Rachel and the boys off at the hotel and went to find parking. Rachel called to let me know what room we got. When I got off the elevator, I could actually hear the boys. Rachel said they were bouncing off the walls. They were running all over jumping on the bed, touching everything, just moving non-stop. We tried to get them to nap, but they wouldn't. Evan and I walked on the Riverwalk for a bit to try to let Noah calm down but he never did.
We decided to go back to Sea World. We tried to see a Haunted 4-D movie that Evan really wanted to see. He told us he was going to "punch the ghosts". Unfortunately, Big Brave Evan got scared about 5 minutes in and we had to leave. It may take him a few years before he can join the Ghostbusters. We got some Dippin' Dots and saw the sea lion and walrus show to close out the day.
Back at the hotel around 10:30 and these kids did not want to go to sleep. The quote of the night came from Evan when he heard him say, "Aww man, I just got snot all over my hands and then I wiped it on Noah's shirt." They finally got to bed around midnight.
At 8am they got up and continued their continuous movement. We ended up checking out around 10:30 and meeting Uncle Jay at a place for breakfast called the Guenther House. It was a really neat old mansion. It was a long wait for a table, but we stayed outside and Uncle Jay had brought a bag full of goodies for the kids including bubbles. It was easy to keep them entertained while we waited.
Evan ate a great breakfast and we all enjoyed seeing Uncle Jay.
Around 2pm, we left San Antonio making it home by 3:30. Noah went down or a nap while Evan watched Scooby Doo. We had to wake Noah up around 6pm for dinner.
For dinner, Rachel went out and picked up Little Caesar's.
We gave the boys baths and now they are in bed. Evan finally looked exhausted and I have not heard from him since I put him down. I think his eyes closed the moment his head hit the pillow.
Until next time...

A Day About Nothing
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Noah slept through the night last night. Early on in the night we heard him cough some, but he was able to get through the rest of the night and we didn't hear him. He got up a bit before 8am. I put him in the gameroom and turned on Mickey Mouse for him. Evan was up a short time later and the two boys proceeded to play throughout the house.
Later Rachel and I got up and brought the boys downstairs. Noah was very cranky. We decided to go out in the backyard but Noah wouldn't put his shoes on. Rachel finally got him to come outside for a bit.
For lunch, Rachel made blue eggs and ham for the boys. Evan ate all of his and Noah ate some of his.
While we were eating lunch, Rachel saw an ad at Kohl's for Woody boots from Toy Story. We had gotten some for Noah a while ago but they didn't have Evan's size at the time. So Rachel took Evan, after lunch, to Kohl's. Unfortunately, they were unsuccessful again. After that they went to Old Navy to return some stuff and then to the bookstore so Evan could play with trains. He saw his friend Marissa there who was also playing trains. Evan said he didn't say hi to her. He said he was too tired to say hi. He's already coming up with excuses at the age of 4.
I stayed home with Noah and I put him down for a nap. He slept pretty well.
Rachel called up DirecTV and argued and was able to get them to reduce our bill, as well as get them to come out and replace our dish with a dish that will enable us to get one show and tape another. We fought with DirecTV about a year and a half ago for the same reason but were unsuccessful. Rachel was persistent this time and was on the phone for well over an hour. Maybe something magical happens if you're able to put up with them for an hour. At one point they told her they couldn't give us the new customer deal because we'd lose all the perks we're getting as long-time customers. I'm still trying to figure out what those perks are, because it sure seems like a much better deal to be a new customer.
For dinner, I went and picked up Little Caesar's. The boys did not eat though.
We just put them down for bed.

All Boys
Note: For some reason this didn't publish last night. Here is yesterday's post.
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Evan came out of bed a few times last night. I think the nap is what made him not stay in bed. It took him a while to go to sleep and then he was up early this morning.
It was just boys today since Rachel is in Chicago. We got up and played in the gameroom some. Then we all got dressed and came downstairs. I put on a movie for a bit and then we went to the park. At the park, Evan was climbing on everything and doing very well. Noah went up to two boys (at separate times) that were a little bit younger than he was. One actually was his height though and was only 17 months old. He was a large kid. Each time Noah went up to these boys, he'd say "Hi baby". It was very cute. I let Evan hang from the monkey bars without holding on to him. He didn't actually go from one bar to the other but he hung there.
We were going to get smoothies after the park, but Evan was bad as we were getting in the car and then yelled "No" at me so we didn't go. I made sure he knew the reason we weren't going was him.
For lunch, both boys ate well.
I put Noah down for a nap and Evan played quietly in the gameroom.
For dinner, we picked up Little Caesar's. Evan again ate well but Noah didn't eat anything. I had promised Evan if he ate well we could get Dairy Queen. So we drove out to Dairy Queen. Noah ate all his ice cream and served himself - with his left hand. I'm pretty sure he's right-handed so I was a bit surprised. Evan ate about 3/4 of his ice cream.
We came home and I gave the boys a shower in my shower. It was a bit easier than giving them baths by myself. In fact, since it was easier and there is no standing water, I wondered why we give kids baths at all. It seems safer, I could wash them better because they were standing up and they had a great time.
They are now in bed. I'm going to watch Inglorious Basterds which I got at Redbox. We'll see how it is.
Until next time...

Poor Little Noah
Last night was a tough night again. Noah woke up around 4am and wouldn’t go back to sleep. Morry and Grandma/Lynn took turns holding him until the morning. Care now, a walk- in doctor’s office, opened at 9am. We made a web appointment and they were able to see Noah right when it opened. We were concerned because Noah wasn’t taking his medicine or eating or drinking anything. He was extremely fussy. Morry took him in and they gave Noah 2 shots- one antibiotic and one cortisone. The cortisone was to help his throat feel better. The doctor also said his ear was red and we needed to continue the antibiotics at home.
For lunch Papa/Lenny picked up deli sandwiches and soup for us. Then, we packed up the car and drove back to Austin.
The ride home was not fun. Noah was complaining and crying a lot of the way.
For dinner I picked up Little Caesars. Evan ate very well. Noah still wouldn’t eat anything, so after dinner we went to Wendy’s to get Frosty’s. Noah ate most of his Frosty. At least he ate something today.
We tried giving Noah is antibiotic before bed tonight, but he just spit it out. I’m not sure how to get him to take it. He keeps spitting it out. We can’t mix it with food or drink because he’s not eating or drinking anything.
It seems like Noah is asleep now, but Evan is still up.

The Third Day
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
I'll probably be writing the blog for the next few days. Rachel will be in Dallas so it will just be the boys and me.
Today was the third day since Rachel's chemo. Some people had told us that the third day was always the worst day. Up until now, Rachel's been a bit achy and a bit nauseous but nothing debilitating. Unfortunately, the people who had warned us seem to be correct. (although I guess we have been unable to compare to the 4th and 5th days yet) Rachel seemed more tired and just more lethargic in general today. She was able to make it downstairs and had lunch and dinner with us, but I think it's just been a tough day on her.
The day started out with our neighbor's dog barking and waking Evan up. It was about 7:10 but really it was 6:10 because we hadn't changed our clocks yet. I got him to go back to bed for about 30 minutes. He then came in and wanted breakfast. I took him downstairs and got him breakfast and put the Polar Express on for him. After that he came in the room 3 more times. Each time I was able to either pretend to sleep so he left or was able to get him to go back into the game room. Around 9am, Grandma got him and brought him downstairs.
When Rachel and I came downstairs, a woman, Beth from my work came over with her husband, Gary. Gary is going to be taking care of the boys this week. We thought it'd be good for them to get to know the boys some. We also gave them a lot of our baby stuff, like the infant seats and the swing. Their son is going to have a baby in January. We were happy to get rid of some of that stuff. Gary seems very excited to take care of the boys. He is getting books ready to bring over and read to them. He's bringing wiffle balls for Evan to hit too.
After they left, Rachel said she thought she could go to lunch. We got in the car and drove about 2 miles before Rachel said she needed to go home. On the way home, Evan pinched his hand in his Buzz Lightyear doll and cried for a while.
For lunch everyone had their own stuff. Papa went out and got Wendy's for me and got Which Wich for himself.
During naps, I went over to Sam's Club and got a great deal on a 32" HDTV. I was very pleased with myself. We wanted to get it for our bedroom. With Rachel spending a lot of time there, it seemed a good idea to spend some money on that and make Rachel more comfortable.
For dinner we had Little Caesar's.
We gave the boys baths and now they are in bed. They aren't quiet but seem a *bit* more subdued than some other nights. Let's hope I didn't jinx anything by typing that.
Until next time...

Sherah’s Family
This morning Aunt Susan, Sherah, JW, Nolan, Court, Lauren, and Presley (the girl that Lauren nannies for) came over. I made cranberry blueberry oatmeal muffins. Evan and Noah ate a ton of them. The kids all played really well together. Evan and Nolan played upstairs in the game room. For lunch I picked up Little Caesar’s pizza. Of course I had coupons. All of us ate for a total of $11.something.
After lunch we called Bubbe on Skype and then we all went in the backyard for a little while. It was hot out, but the kids didn’t seem to mind. We took a Popsicle break. Noah had his own Popsicle for the first time. He did great and ate the whole thing.
Sherah’s family went back to Aunt Susan’s for naps.
I put Evan and Noah down for naps, but only Noah napped.
For dinner we met Sherah, JW, Nolan, and Court at Red Robin. We had to wait a while for a table that could accommodate us. Luckily there were lots of things to keep the boys occupied. In the front of the restaurant were video games and candy/toy machines. Even though we didn’t give the boys any change they had a good time playing with all the stuff.
Dinner was good. And what made it even better? Morry, Evan, and I ate for free! All we had to pay for was our drinks. Morry and I each had coupons for free burgers for our birthdays and Red Robin is also having a promotion where kids eat for free. Good deal!
Evan and Noah are in bed now. It seems to be quiet.
