Almost Done

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning when I woke Noah up, he couldn't open his right eye.  He's been having really bad allergies from the cedar in the air.  His eye was watering yesterday and I guess when he slept it formed a coating over his eye.  I put a warm washcloth on it and he rubbed off the goop afterwards.  I told him he didn't have to go to school if he didn't feel well but he insisted on going to school.  I had gotten Zyrtec last night.  I gave it to him before we left.

Because of Noah's allergies we drove to school today.  We were concerned about him being outside with the cedar before school started.  If we walk home and he has an allergy attack, we can deal with it at home, but we didn't want him having to deal with it at school.

Rachel had an MAT appointment today and then she met the Pink Ribbon Cowgirls for lunch at Whole Foods.

One of my clients, Strait Music Company, is sponsoring the Marauders.  I went out and picked up the check from them, ran to the bank and then picked up a smoothie for myself.

In the early afternoon, our contractor came and cleaned the porch.  He removed all the trash and power washed the porch.  He was hoping to be able to stain today.  Unfortunately, our backyard doesn't get much sun so the porch didn't dry in time.  He will stain and seal the porch tomorrow and then our porch will be done!

We picked the boys up from school and we did walk home.  Noah looked much much better.  His energy level was up.

We had pasta for dinner and then gave the kids baths.  We wanted Noah to soak in the bath and hopefully help with his allergies.

The boys are in their rooms now.

Until next time...

Shaving a Cat

Late morning I dropped the boys off at Cole's house and then went to my muscle activation appointment.  On the way there I picked up a Kapoosh Hardwood Knife Block from the Container Store.

After my appointment I got the boys from Cole's house. They had a good time.

This afternoon Evan helped me give Calvin a haircut.  That was the first time I have tried to shave a cat.  It was pretty difficult.  He was good, but it was hard to keep him still.  Deborah said she shaved him each month before giving him his heartworm medicine.  I thought I would try.  I'm not sure if I'll try again.

Around 5pm we drove out to Chair King in Lakeway to look at outdoor furniture.  We ended up buying a patio table and chairs set and new table set for our kitchen as well.  We will have those delivered on Wednesday.

For dinner we went to Hill Country Pasta House.

We just got home. The boys are eating dessert and then we'll get them ready for bed. 

Here Comes the Sun

It was cold this morning.  We drove the boys to school, but then it warmed up and the sun came out.

I went to my muscle activation therapy and then stopped by Bobbie Nehman's house.  She lives close to where I was driving and the other day she asked me to stop by some time.  We had a nice visit and she worked on my feet and showed me some exercises I can do.

I got home just in time to walk with Morry to pick up the boys from school.

For dinner we all had different foods.  The boys had fried matzoh and Evan had shrimp as well.  Morry had pasta and I had an egg salad sandwich.

We are about to get the boys ready for bed.

Cold Baseball Practice

This morning it was 28 degrees so we drove the boys to school.

During the day I had muscle activation therapy and a Pink Ribbon Cowgirls lunch.

We drove to pick up the boys from school.

Morry and Evan went to 6pm baseball practice.  It's in the 30s now and they are outside playing baseball.

Noah and I are in the nice warm house. We ate dinner and played together.

Morry and Evan should be home around 8:30.

Sick Evan

Last night Evan had a slight fever and this morning he still wasn't feeling well.  We kept him home from school.  As we were dropping off Noah at school we saw Evan's teacher and she said Strep has been going around the classroom.

When we got home I made an appointment to take Evan to the doctor.  It turned out he does have Strep so we got him started on an antibiotic.

I had a muscle activation appointment and Morry had a meeting during the day.

Morry picked up Noah from school.

For dinner we had salmon that Michael and Jen made along with some other yummy foods.  The boys ate very well.

Both boys are ready for bed.  Evan is in his room.  Noah is in the game room playing with Maya.

End of Season Party

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning went well.  The boys were in a good mood.  It was easy to bring them into school.

I had to run out for a bit this morning.  Rachel had an appointment with the muscle activation place.

I picked the boys up from school.  They continued to be in a good mood on the way home.

Gabby game over and the boys played outside with her.

For dinner we went to Doc's Backyard.  We were having an end-of-season party for Evan's baseball team.  They have a playground there, though it was kind of misting at first.  The boys had a good time playing but then it started to rain much harder.  They had cake and everything which the boys liked.

Afterwards we went to Academy to get socks and a belt for Evan's uniform for his select team, the Marauders.  He needed a black belt and black socks.  He's got a scrimmage for that on Thursday night and at least three games this weekend.

We came home and the boys are in bed now.

Until next time...

Snacks in the Tree

This morning we drove the kids to school. We actually drove to the community center and then walked the path to school.  According to my phone it was 28 degrees.

I had a muscle activation appointment today.

We walked to get the kids at school.  Noah was happy at pickup.  For some reason he started getting really cranky as we were leaving.  He was mad at Morry and was hitting him.  Then, he wanted his snacks, but wouldn't ask nicely.  The hitting continues and Morry threatened to throw Noah's snacks in the woods.  Noah picked up a bunch of rocks and threw them at Morry, so Morry tossed Noah's snack baggie.  Morry threw it pretty high and it got stuck way up high in the trees.  It was pretty funny.  Well, Noah didn't think it was funny.  He continued to throw a fit pretty much the whole walk home.

Evan and Morry had baseball practice, so Noah and I stayed at home.  He was good for me.

Morry and Evan just got home and the boys are getting ready for bed.

Baseball Party

This morning we walked the boys to school.  Later in the morning I had a muscle activation therapy appointment.

Morry picked up the boys from school and Gabby came over.

I tutored and got home around 4:45.

We met Noah's baseball team at Rudy's for an end of season party.  Morry gave the kids certificates and baseball cards. Everyone seemed to have a good time.

Now, it's time to get ready for bed.

Meeting with Evan's Teacher

This morning we walked to school and the boys were both in really good moods.

Morry and I went to lunch at Wholly Bagel and then I had my muscle activation therapy. 

For an hour she worked on my left foot. It feels a little better now.  We'll see if it lasts.  I have a few more appointments scheduled over the next few weeks.

After school we had the parent-teacher conference with Evan and his teacher.  It sounds like Evan is doing well.  He's at the reading level where he should be and she offered some suggestions to help him improve even more.

We walked home.

For dinner we all ate various things.  Morry and Evan had pasta.  I had a bagel.  Noah had a hot dog.

The boys are in their rooms now ready for bed.

Today is Tuesday

This morning we walked the boys to school, like usual.

Morry had a morning meeting to go to and later in the day I had a consultation for Muscle Activation Therapy.

Morry picked up the kids from school, since I was still on my way home at pick up time.

Morry and Evan played some baseball out front.  Noah fell asleep on the couch for a while.  We had to wake him up for dinner.

For dinner we had burgers/veggie burgers, rice, and salad.

The boys are playing Wii, but in a few minutes we'll get them ready for bed.
