School Day, Exercise, and HEB

This morning Evan woke up at 5:50am as Morry was leaving to go to the gym. I’m not sure why he was up so early.

Noah slept late and we had to wake him up a little before 9am to go to school.

Both boys did fine at drop off.

From school I went to the gym to meet the trainer. She had me do the stair step machine and then run about 1 ½ miles on the outside trail.

After that I went to HEB. I saved about $30 in coupons and we got our dinner for tonight free with coupons.

I came home, put the groceries away, cleaned up the kitchen, vacuumed, mopped, and then it was time to get the boys.

Evan and Noah had a good day. Noah’s teacher said one of the kids was upset so they were going to take her into Evan’s classroom. They decided to bring Noah too since they thought he would like seeing Evan. He had fun, but cried with it was time to leave Evan.

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

Blanca came at 3:45. I tutored and came home at 7pm.

We ate dinner and then put the boys to bed. Noah is playing with his leapster. Evan is still awake too.

Lots of Activities

This morning I went for a 2 mile run with the boys in the stroller and Lizzy.

When we got home I quickly showered and then we left the house again. We met the Pink Ribbon Cowgirl group at Central Market. When we got to Central Market the boys and I walked around the store picking out what we wanted for lunch. They have a café there too, but the boys eat better when we find stuff in the store. I got soup and egg salad. The boys picked out bagels, juice, and Pirate Booty. I let them pick out one type of candy from the candy bins. Noah picked gummy raspberries and blackberries. Evan got hard lego candy. I also brought a few things from home for the boys. Evan and Noah did well at lunch and were well behaved. There were 2 other 2 year-olds there today.

After the lunch I took the boys to playground outside at Central Market. Evan and Noah played a while at the playground and had a good time. They were good when it was time to leave because I told them they could have their candy in the car.

When we got home I put Noah down for a nap and mopped. Evan helped me mop.

Noah wasn’t napping so we left to meet the playgroup at My Gym. My Gym has an open play area room with lots of climbing toys and gymnastics like equipment. We got there around 4pm and stayed until almost 6pm. Morry met us there after work.

From there we went to dinner at Cypress Grill.

When we got home we gave the boys baths and then put them to bed.

Hair Consultation

I dropped of Noah at Alena’s and then Evan at school.

After that I met my hair dresser for a consultation. Now that my hair is growing out I’m trying to figure out what to do with it and how to style it. I wasn’t sure if I was quite at the point to get a haircut yet. She offered some suggestions and said maybe in a month – 6 weeks I could come in for a haircut and she could shape it up a little.

The rest of the day I spend doing stuff around the house. I cleaned up, vacuumed, mopped, and started the laundry.

I picked up Evan first from school and then we went to Alena’s house to get Noah. We stayed for a few minutes so that Evan could play a little. Of course Noah got all whiny when it was time to go.

Noah took a short nap today.

For dinner we had burritos from the freezer and Morry made rice to go with them.

We were going to go outside after dinner but it started raining. It was thundering for a little while and our power went out for a split second.

We just put Evan and Noah to bed. Morry is still upstairs getting Evan settled in bed.

Last Day of School

Evan woke up early again and Morry got him set up in the game room before he left for work.

We were late getting to school this morning. Noah slept until about 9:30. I didn’t want to wake him up. I let him sleep until 9:30 and finally I woke him up so I could get Evan to school.

Riley came over from 10-12. Noah cried for about the first 30 minutes, but then he eventually calmed down. I did a lot of cleaning while Riley was here. It had been a while since the house was really cleaned. I cleaned the bathrooms, vacuumed and mopped the whole house, dusted, … I did that all in about the 2 hours Riley was here. I was really exhausted by the time she left. Right after Riley left, Noah and I went to Evan’s school. It was Evan’s last day of school (until September), so they had a little pizza party. Noah had a great time with all the big kids. He even sat at the table with them for lunch. After lunch the kids had cupcakes and cookies. Both Evan and Noah loved the cookies. Who knows how many Evan ate.

When we got home I put Evan and Noah down for naps. Noah fell asleep pretty much right away. It started raining (finally) pretty hard and we had some thunder and lightening. Evan got scared and didn’t want to take a nap, so I let him watch TV for a little bit. Then, I tried again to put him down for a nap, but he refused. I was really tired and needed a nap so, I let him watch tv in the game room while I tried to lie down. A few minutes later Evan was in our room because he heard thunder. I asked if he wanted to come in bed, but he said no. He ended up falling asleep on the floor in our room. As soon as Evan fell asleep Noah woke up.

I brought Noah downstairs and tried to fold laundry. It took me about 4 times as long as usual because Noah kept grabbing clothes I had already folded.

Evan got up and while Evan and Noah played I got dinner ready.

Morry came home and we had corned beef and potatoes for dinner.

For dessert we went to Wendy’s for Frosties. We had 2 $1 off coupons and a $5 gift card I had won a while ago, but just got in the mail a few days ago. So, we had free dessert and still have $1something left on the card.

We just put Evan and Noah to bed and it seems to be quiet.

Relaxing Thursday

This morning Evan didn’t give me any problems going to school. He was very good. He insisted on wearing his Steelers Jersey today, so I let him put it on over his long sleeved shirt. When he walked into school Ms. Natasha was very excited. She is also a Steelers fan and asked Evan for a high-five.

At 11:00, Alissa, Noah and I went over to Yenis’ house. She invited us over to hangout and have lunch. We had a nice relaxing time. We stayed there until it was time to pick up the boys at school.

When we got home Evan and Noah played while I vacuumed and mopped downstairs.

Evan and Noah went down for naps around 2:30. Blanca came 4:00 so I could tutor. I came home at 6:00 and we had a crock pot dinner. I made Drunken Garlic Crock Pot Roast and we had bread and roasted garlic with it. For Evan, we made dinosaur chicken fingers. When we put them down on his plate he threw a fit and said he didn’t want them, but by a few minutes later he had eaten them all. He also had some bread. I cut up fruit and both Evan and Noah and they ate a ton. It seems like Noah is like Evan and really likes fruit.

We gave them baths and put them to bed a little early tonight. Both Evan and Noah seemed tired, though they are still making noises in their rooms.
