We walked the boys to school this morning. Noah was throwing at fit about something.
I tutored this afternoon. Morry got the boys from school and Gabby came over.
When I got home Evan noticed some of the peppers were ready to be picked. We picked 2 peppers, a red and green. Evan, Noah, and I split them. Evan also picked a tomato, but he said it wasn't very good.
For dinner we made pizza at home.
The boys are playing. In a little bit we'll start getting ready for bed.

Farmer's Market
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Noah woke up in the middle of the night last night. At first he was crying that he had to pee and then he was crying that he wanted his door opened. His door wasn't full closed and he can open it himself, there's nothing stopping him. His gate was open already. And he can leave his room and get us if he needs help going to the bathroom. Rachel and I have decided he needs we will not give into these demands. If he wants to come in our room and ask us without whining or crying, we will help him. This went on for an hour or so. I do think he eventually went to the bathroom, or at least opened the door himself. His pull-up was dry this morning.
The boys got up and played in the game room some. Then Rachel got up and went for a run while I continued cleaning up the office upstairs and getting all my computer equipment set up. I'm just about finished.
Then we went to the Sunset Valley Farmer's Market. It didn't seem to be as big as it has been other times we went. It could have something to do with the high being around 103 degrees. We walked around and looked at the produce. We saw a demonstration of a screen printing (using all natural ink) on a t-shirt. Then we got water ice for the boys. Noah and I each got an all natural grass fed beef hot dog. It was pretty good. It was kind of spicy but Noah ate all of his. Then each boy picked out their own sweet bell pepper.
We got home and Rachel made lunch for herself and cut up the peppers for the boys. Evan ate his entire pepper.
After lunch, Evan and I went to a birthday party for a boy from his tee ball team. It was at the Little Gym where Evan used to have his sports class. He seemed to have a really good time. I had a good time talking to the dads.
When we got home, Noah not napping. Noah ended up playing in the game room with GeoTrax and Evan watched TV downstairs.
Gabby came over at 6:30 to babysit for the boys. Rachel and I drove up to the Domain and ate at a restaurant called Gloria's. We walked around a bit there and listened to a live band.
When we got home, Evan was still up. He wanted me to read a book to him. We finished the second Harry Potter book last night. I found my old copy of Mr. Popper's Penguins. I told Evan I would read that to him next. He has wanted to go see the movie. The funny thing about that book is I wrote my name in it - in first grade. So my handwriting was very child-like. It's amazing because Evan is almost that same age. It's kind of crazy.
Noah is sleeping. Let's hope he sleeps through the whole night.
Until next time...

No Babysitters
This morning Evan woke up around 7:20am. He came in our room looking for Morry, but Morry had already gone to work. I got Evan dressed and fed. Then, Jodie picked him up for school a little before 9am.
Noah and I just stayed in the house today. It was really cold outside today. I did a little bit of cleaning. I was able to clean the kitchen, vacuum, and mop. Our house was pretty dirty.
Evan came home around 1:30 and I put the boys down for naps at about 2:00. We all took good naps. Evan and Noah woke up around 4:30.
For dinner, one of the moms brought over pizza and salad for us. Morry and Evan went in the backyard and picked some peppers. We are supposed to get a freeze tomorrow so we wanted to go ahead and pick the good peppers.
We just put the boys to bed, but Evan is still awake and coming up with excuses.
Here’s the video from a few weeks ago when Evan picked a pepper from our garden.

Bedtime
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
I have been promising Evan I'd see him in the mornings. I thought that perhaps he's worried about not seeing me so I told him he didn't need to come out of bed because I'd see him in the morning. He didn't get up when I was getting ready. Before I left I went in his room to say goodbye, but he continued to sleep. Rachel said he didn't get up until close to 8am. That is good because he didn't go to bed until 11 last night.
Gabby came over this morning and got the boys breakfast. Rachel came downstairs and everyone went outside. Rachel and Evan picked one bell pepper that we had growing in our backyard. They then picked several jalapeno peppers as well. Gabby was holding Noah while Rachel and Evan were picking the peppers (not a peck of pickled peppers, mind you).
Blanca came over and Rachel went out to HEB and got a few things that we needed. When she got home around 1:30, they put the boys to bed. Rachel ate lunch and took a nap herself.
I got home around 5:30 and shortly thereafter, Bodar came and delivered dinner. It was pork meatballs (no sauce) with roasted potatoes, fresh bread and a salad. She also brought over pumpkin cookies. Everything was very good.
The boys played some after dinner and then we put the boys down to bed. We decided to stay upstairs and watch TV upstairs thinking that perhaps Evan was scared that we were downstairs and he was upstairs. One of the moms from the mom's group read this blog and suggested that might be the issue. He came out of his room once, but hasn't come out since. I don't know if being up here with him helped or my warning him about coming out of the room and that I would start taking toys. Hopefully he stays in bed. If these things don't work, we may stop the naps with him so he'll be tired at bedtime.
