San Marcos Shopping

Evan, Noah, and I went to San Marcos to the Outlets today. We were looking for pajamas, shorts, and socks for the boys. We got a few things, but the deals weren't so good today for some reason.

I packed a lunch thinking we might be able to have a picnic somewhere. We were running out of time and the weather wasn't so great. It was overcast and a little bit cool. So, we just ate our lunch in the car on the way home.

When we got home I started getting dinner ready.

I tutored one student and then came home.

We had meatballs and rice for dinner.

After dinner Morry went to the Volkswagen car dealership in Georgetown. He wanted to negotiate a deal in person. It sounds like he worked something out to lease a CC. He's on his way home now and the car will come in in a few days.

The boys are ready for bed and are supposed to be in their rooms, but they keep coming up with excuses.

Pizza Day

This morning Noah gave me a hard time at home, but he was fine at school. When we got to school we went to Noah’s class first. He went in with no problem. Then, I dropped off Evan.

I went to the dermatologist after that. I had an appointment to get an all over skin check. She said everything looked good.

Today was pizza day at school. They said Noah ate 3 pieces of pizza and his teacher kept commenting about the amount of fruit he ate. Evan ate a couple of pieces of pizza as well. They had fruit in his class too.

When we got home I put Noah down for a nap, but he wouldn’t sleep.

Blanca came at 4 so I could go tutor.

I came home at 6:30.

For dinner we had leftover meatballs from the other night and some rice.

Evan and Noah are in bed, but both are still awake.

Playing at the Park

This morning Noah woke up around 6am crying for a pacifier. I couldn’t find his in his room. I was able to give him another pacifier and he slept a little bit longer.

I took the boys for a 2 mile run in the neighborhood. We came home so that I could make a smoothie and then we went to the park for a little while. Evan and Noah both enjoyed swinging. Evan can do it all by himself now.

We came home for lunch. I made red eggs and ham, which they requested, but they didn’t eat much.

I put Noah down for a nap and he actually slept.

I made meatballs to have ready for dinner tonight.

Gabby came at 3:45pm and I left to tutor 2 students.

I came home around 7pm and we had pasta with the meatballs for dinner.

After dinner we took a few family pictures to include in the invitation for the party. Evan and Noah were very good for the pictures so they got dessert.

We just put the boys to bed. Let’s hope everyone sleeps well tonight.

Pancakes at School

This morning Noah slept late, so I was late dropping Evan off to school. I wanted Noah to get his sleep.

I dropped Evan off at school and then when we got home Gabby came over to take care of Noah.

I had a check-up appointment at my oncologist. I only saw the nurse today, but she said everything looked good.

When I picked Evan up at school he told me they made pancakes today. He seemed to think it was silly having breakfast at school.

Noah took a good nap this afternoon.

For dinner we had fix and freeze meatballs we had made a while ago. I also made some rice to go with it.

We just gave Evan and Noah baths and put them to bed. They are both still talking and playing in their rooms.

Finally Back at School

Evan was able to go back to school today. He missed all of last week because he was sick. Evan and Noah are still coughing, but are definitely at the end of this thing.

I had Gabby come over at 9:45am this morning. I went and ran some errands and then met Morry for lunch. We went to Hyde Park Grill across the street from his work. We used a Restaurant.com coupon and only had to pay $11 for lunch.

When I got home I put Noah in the car and then we went to get Evan at school.

Noah was pretty cranky by the time we got home. I think he was just tired. He ended up taking a good nap.

For dinner we needed something to go with our leftover meatballs so I looked up a recipe for pita. Evan and Noah enjoyed playing with the dough. The pita was pretty good.

We gave the boys baths and put them to bed.

Morry just came downstairs after putting Evan to bed. Morry was laughing. Here’s what Evan told him. “Sometimes on TV, when boys see girls they just stick out their tongues and slobber on each other. That’s when they think they’re nice.” I don’t know where he’s seen kissing like that before. We don’t put on shows like that for him. He usually just watches cartoons.

Good Exercise

This morning after getting the kids dressed and fed I took them for a bike ride. First, we went to the Circle C Park. Evan and Noah played a while on the playground and then we had some snacks I brought with us. After that I rode to HEB. First, we sat down at a table and had ICEEs then we did some grocery shopping. I couldn’t buy too much since I only had the room in the back of the bike trailer. Usually Noah sits in the cart. Since I just had a basket with me, Noah got to walk around. He enjoyed the freedom. After HEB we went back home. It was about a 7 mile bike ride. The way there was very easy and mostly downhill, but on the way back it took me about twice the amount of time. I was pretty worn out once we got home.

Evan and Noah had a little bit to eat and then Noah went down for a nap.

When Morry got home we made mozzarella meatballs and egg drop soup. We made extra meatballs to freeze for later.

After dinner we went in the front yard. We have a motorized Spiderman bike that I charged up earlier today. Evan hasn’t ridden it in a while. He got on it today and was definitely too big for it. It went too slow for him. It was a good size for Noah, but Noah didn’t quite understand how to hold down the button to make it go constantly. He was doing a lot of starting and stopping. Evan and I played baseball for just a little bit. He hit me with the waffle ball twice and it actually caused a red mark. He hits the balls hard.

We just put them to bed. They both seem to be doing a lot better. Noah is still cranky, but he seems to be feeling and acting a little bit better.

Evan and Noah are both out of their rooms right now. ugh

Swimming

This morning Morry let me sleep in. I must have been really tired. I slept for a long time.

We took Evan and Noah to the gym around noon. We had planned on working out and then swimming. The boys had gotten up early this morning and we were worried about being out too long, so we decided just to go swimming and skip the workout. The outdoor pool was open. That was the first time we went out there. Evan and Noah played in the pool for a few minutes and then we ordered some food from the outdoor café. Noah got hotdog, Evan got peanut butter and jelly, Morry had chicken tenders, and I had a turkey sandwich. Once we finished eating, Evan and Noah played in the pool a little more.

When we got home we put Noah down for a nap. Evan watched tv downstairs.

For dinner we all had different things. Morry had leftover pizza, I had salad and meatballs, the boys had mac and cheese.

Evan and Noah played for a little while after dinner while we cleaned up.

We just put the boys to bed.
