Cloudy Sunday

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

When we got up this morning, Evan asked that we go to the park that Rachel and the boys stopped at yesterday.  It's an old school park with a metal sliding board, a merry-go-round and a see-saw.  We drove over there.  They had a very good time.  They also had really never played on equipment like that before so they immediately were testing the limitations of that equipment so we had to make sure they knew the rules.  But they had a good time.

We just hung around the house in the afternoon.  Evan and watched the Steelers game when it came on.

Noah and Rachel went to Grandma and Papa's for a bit.

Noah came down and watched with us in the fourth quarter.

For dinner we had pork tenderloin and asparagus.

After dinner, we walked around the neighborhood and looked at lights.

Until next time...

Evan's Zoo Field Trip

Today was Evan's first class field trip.  They took school buses to the zoo.  Evan was excited to ride on  a school bus for the first time.  I was not able to go because they did not allow siblings.  Evan told me he had a good time.

Noah and I went to 7-11 because Noah said he wanted a Slurpee.  I needed to run some errands, so I thought it might help him get through those few errands.

After 7-11 we went to Sunflower for some groceries, then to the library to drop off some items.

There's a nice little park by the library that we call the Old School park. It has a lot of the equipment you don't see much any more.  There were see-saws, a merry-go-round, jungle gym, big slide, etc.  Noah was very excited to try the merry-go-round.  He liked it.  We had a picnic lunch there and then played a little bit more.

Noah stayed at home while I rode my bike to get Evan from school.

I tutored one student this afternoon and Morry took both boys to Evan's baseball practice.  I stopped at the practice to pick up Noah on the way home.

I got dinner ready while Morry and Evan were at baseball practice.   We had leftovers from last night.

The boys are ready for bed and Morry is reading to them.

Here's a picture from Evan's field trip today.

Park Playgroup and Panera

This morning we met some people from playgroup at the park. We were there for about and hour and a half. Noah and Evan had a great time. I let Noah crawl around and climb on things. Both boys went on the merry-go-round. Noah even went down the small slide while I held his hand. He loved it. Evan spent a lot of time in the baby swing. He kept asking me to push him higher.

After playgroup we went to Panera Bakery for lunch. I ordered a kid’s grilled cheese meal for Evan. He ate the yogurt and fruit, but not the sandwich. I cut up the sandwich and Noah ate half of it. Yenis and Kevin went to. We ate outside and when the boys were done eating they had a good time playing together. They were playing Star Wars with straws.

I guess Evan and Noah were pretty worn out. They took good naps. I was even able to nap.

For dinner we went to Pho Thai Son. Evan ate all the seafood out of my soup. He ate the fish, shrimp, krab (imitation crab), and squid. We were going to go to the bakery next door after dinner, but it had already closed for the day.

We are about to give the boys baths and put them to bed.

The Park

Today we went to the park and met Yenis and Kevin there. We went to the park that has the old school type equipment. There is a merry-go-round and see-saws. I put Noah in the backpack and followed Evan around the small park. Evan loved the merry-go-round and see-saw. There was also a spring rocking horse that he spent a lot of time playing. I called him a cowboy and Woody (from Toy Story). He loved that. Evan wanted me to keep saying, “Hi Cowboy” or “Hi Woody.”

After the park Yenis and Kevin came to our house for lunch. Yenis and I had sandwiches and the boys had pizza.

Noah took a good nap, but Evan didn’t sleep that long.

Jeremy, Morry's friend from work, is in town this week. We invited him over for dinner. We had corned beef, veggies, and corn bread for dinner.

After we put the boys to bed I’m going out with Alissa. Morry and Jeremy are going to watch a movie at home.
