Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Last night we had a huge thunderstorm. It rained all night. Evan said it woke him up. Some people recorded over 2.5 inches of rain over night.
Because of the rain, both baseball games tonight were canceled. Each boy had a playoff game tonight. Noah's game will be made up tomorrow. Evan's game will be made up on Friday (most likely).
It was also cooler today. It only got up to 60. It's been in the high 80s here consistently.
We did walk to pick the boys up from school. It was nice walking when it wasn't so hot.
For dinner we went to Genghis Grill. It's a mongolian barbeque type restaurant. Tuesdays are kids eat free.
The boys are now in their room for bed.
Until next time...

Spy Kids
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Rachel had scheduled a tutoring session with a student at noon. Since Rachel was going to be gone, I thought I'd take the boys to see a movie. Evan told me that he wanted to see Spy Kids because the commercial made it look like "awesome sauce".
We left the house around 10:15am. I let the boys pretend to play on the video games before we got popcorn and went into the theater. The movie was incredibly stupid. It was not for adults at all. The boys seemed to really enjoy it though. Afterwards, Evan told me he wanted to buy the DVD.
On the way home, we stopped at Boone Elementary school. They had registration going on for the fall season of Little League. Evan wants to play both football and baseball. So I signed him up for baseball.
When we got home, the boys ate and Rachel and I worked on our computers.
For dinner we went to Mongolian Barbecue. Evan has been asking to go. He insisted he'd eat there this time. The last two times we went he didn't eat the food we got him. He ate more this time, but not that well. Noah didn't eat much at all. They both liked being downtown though.
When we pulled into the garage, we heard a woman trying to get our attention. There was a couple who were pushing to girls in a double stroller. She told us they were our new neighbors and wanted to get to know us. We went outside and talked to them. They were from Cleveland by way of Chicago and then Cedar Park (a northern suburb of Austin). He told me he was a Browns fan. I expressed sympathy. Their girls were 2 and 4. All four kids played together. At first Noah, was just playing with sidewalk chalk while Evan and the two girls played hide and seek. Then they all played together with sidewalk chalk. Noah somehow became a smurf. His legs and arms were completely blue. He also had taken off his shirt so his stomach was slightly blue too.
After talking with them, we went inside and gave the kids baths.
They are now in their rooms. Until next time...

Good Noah
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
The boys got up after 8am this morning. They were pretty loud while they were playing. At one point I heard them say that "Mommy and Daddy aren't the boss". And then they declared that they were the boss. I'm not sure how that came about.
The boys have been begging to go see the move "Hop" for weeks. We promised them we'd go today. We decided to take them to the Alamo Drafthouse to see the movie. We thought they'd like eating at the movie theater. They ended up not eating anything but popcorn there. I guess we could have just gone to the AMC. The movie was ok. Evan said he liked it. Noah said he didn't. I'm wondering if there was a scene that scared him.
On the way home, we stopped and got smoothies. They have milkshakes at the movies and we asked if they wanted one and Evan said no. When we got in the car Evan asked why we didn't get a milkshake. So to make it up, we got smoothies which we'd rather him have anyway.
When we got home, we put Noah down for a nap. He had been good all morning. He played in his room and never got upset. Eventually he fell asleep on the floor at his gate.
For dinner, we thought we had a Living Social coupon for the Mongolian Barbeque. We drove downtown and parked. The boys ate well and Noah was very well behaved. Unfortunately, when we paid, they said we had used it. Neither Rachel nor I remember using it.
We came home and put the boys in bed. They are still awake.
Until next time...

Evan's Tummy
Last night Evan didn't eat much for dinner. Around 2am he came in our room and told me he was hungry. I got him an orange and sat in the game room with him while he ate it. He said he wanted more to eat, but I asked him to wait until the morning.
Morry left the house around 5:30am and Evan got up again at that time too. Morry gave Evan some food to eat in the game room. A little while later Evan came in our room crying that his stomach was hurting. I felt so bad for him. I offered him some Sprite or to rub his stomach but he didn't want either.
We ended up staying at home today. We had plans to go to a lunch for the Pink Ribbon Cowgirls, but Evan still wasn't feeling well. He did end up eating a little bit of lunch today.
At nap time, I tried to put Noah down, but he wouldn't nap. He was screaming and crying at his door, unplugged the monitor and night light, pulled the sheets and comforter off his bed. Eventually, I just gave up and let him go in the game room.
For dinner we all went out to eat at Mongolian Barbecue. Noah ate very well. Evan hardly had anything and was complaining a lot at dinner. He said he was cold, but wouldn't put on his sweatshirt.
When we got home Morry took Evan's temperature and he had a slight fever.
Both boys are in bed now, but not asleep.

Mongolian Barbecue... Finally
Noah started whining/crying around 2am last night to go to the bathroom. Once he went, he fell back asleep until 7:30 or so when the whining started again. He goes to the bathroom every 5 minutes and whines for help. He could do it by himself, but refuses.
I spent a lot of time organizing and putting stuff in the attic today. The boys helped me go through the toys in the game room and sort them in 3 boxes - toys they still play with, baby toys, and giveaway.
Noah would not take a nap today.
around 4pm we met playgroup at My Gym. Morry came by after work. We went home to drop off Morry's car and went to dinner.
We have tried a few times in the past to go to Mongolian Barbecue, but each time it was closed. We had a coupon and called ahead today to make sure they were open.
It worked out well and the boys enjoyed picking out their own food.
When we got home we got the boys ready for bed and now they are each in their rooms, yet still awake.

Potty Training Success
So, I knew we’d be home all day today. I still had a lot cleaning to do. I decided today would be a good day to try potty training Noah. We tried a few months ago, but he wasn’t quite ready.
Today went really well. Noah was in the same pair of underwear all day and didn’t have a single accident. Evan was a good helper. He’d help dump the pee from the small potty into the toilet until Noah decided he wanted to start doing it.
Gabby came at 3:45 and I tutored.
Morry and I needed to pick up our packets for the Turkey Trot so we decided to all go to pick them up downtown and then go to dinner. Our plan was to go to Mongolian Barbecue. We got our packets and then found a good parking spot downtown near the restaurant. When we got to the restaurant the door was locked. It turns out they are only open for dinner on certain days. We ended up going to PF Chang’s across the street. Both boys did well. Noah went to the bathroom multiple times while we were there.
Morry and I put the boys to bed and are doing some more cleaning. Evan and Noah are still up. Noah keeps saying he needs to go potty. It’s hard to know if he really does or if he just figured out another way to stall before bed.

Dragon Movie
This morning we met Matt, Rachael and her kids at the movie theater to see How to Train Your Dragon. Evan seemed to enjoy it. Noah had a hard time sitting still. When the credits came on at the end Noah said he wanted to see it again.
Evan and Noah had a lot to snack on at the movies, so they weren’t hungry for lunch. When we got home it was nap time for the boys. Marilyn and I ate some leftovers for lunch.
Morry called Mongolian Barbecue to make sure they were open for dinner. They told Morry they were open tonight until 9:30pm. It has become a tradition over the last few years for us to go there on Easter.
We drove downtown and found a parking spot a few blocks away from Mongolian Barbecue. When we got to the door of the restaurant, it was locked and there was a sign saying they were closed for Easter. Very annoying! They must have just decided to close or the person on the phone didn’t know what they were talking about.
Luckily, PF Changs across the street was opened so we went there for dinner. Evan and Noah were very cranky at first. Once Evan ate some fruit he was much better behaved. The food was good and it came out quickly.
We just put the boys to bed and it seems to be quiet. I think they were both pretty tired.
