Mommy is a cow

We didn’t do anything special today. I had planned on taking the boys for a run around the lake, but it was cloudy and there was a chance of rain. I didn’t want to get stuck in the rain halfway around the lake. It was also pretty chilly outside. We just stayed in the house today. Evan played on the computer on the PBS Kids website. Noah took a morning nap.

After lunch I put on some music and we danced. Though DirecTv we get satellite radio. I just put on the radio through the TV. Evan really loved “I get around” by the Beach Boys. He was dancing and doing a lot of spinning.

Evan and Noah took really long naps and woke up around 6:00 when Morry got home. It was cloudy and dark so I think that helped them sleep better.

For dinner we made a pasta salad using the leftover chicken from last night.

After dinner Evan was playing with some of the letter blocks that go to Noah’s train. I was playing with Noah and Evan said, “Look Mommy, I spelled my name.” I looked over and he had spelled E-V-A-W. He was so close. I helped him find the N and we fixed his name. Then, he told me he was going to spell my name. Evan said, “Look, I wrote your name.” I looked over and he spelled C-O-W. No joke! Very funny. I guess that’s how he sees me. I don’t know if he really knew he was spelling cow or if it was a total coincidence.

We just bathed the boys and now they are in bed. I hear Noah playing with his bear. Evan is listening to Trout Fishing in America. Grandma/Lynn and Papa/Lenny bought him a CD with the Pico de Gallo song on it. He asks for the Gallo song now.

Brrrrr

It got cold here. The weather man said it got close to freezing here last night. This morning around 9 the temperature was 42 degrees. I still walked Evan to school. It was cold, but at least it was sunny. I bundled the boys in jackets and blankets, and by the time we got to school they didn’t need the blankets anymore.

While Evan was at school I just got stuff done around the house. Noah and I didn’t go anywhere. I fed Noah his usually lunch of cereal. I also gave him some Gerber puffs (little finger food cereal). He’s starting to get better at getting foods to his mouth. He seems to like those little puffs, even though not all of them make it to his mouth.

When I went to pick up Evan at school he was in the corner near the books lying on a pillow and covered with a blanket. He was smiling at me and said, “I tucked myself.” Wendy thought that was funny. He went over to the corner on his own, got the blanket and pillow, and tucked himself in. He must have been pretty tired.

When we got home I tried to put the boys down for a nap. Neither one wanted to sleep. I finally got Noah to sleep around 2:30. When Blanca came at 3 Evan was still up. Through the monitor we heard him say, “I want Blanca.” He must have heard her come in. Evan ended up not napping at all. Noah slept for almost 2 hours.

I got home from tutoring at 7. Morry had made ribs for us. We ate dinner and then put Evan and Noah to bed. Evan scratched his Toy Story CD, so we had to put the Raffi CD on instead. He cried some, but now it sounds like he is asleep. Noah doesn’t seem to mind what he listens to. Right now he has a swing music CD in his player.
