Morry spent most of the morning in bed and then went into work. He didn't last long there. He really wasn't feeling well and came back home.
This morning Noah and I went to the police station. Susan G Komen Austin was having an event there and I offered to volunteer. They said it was fine to bring Noah with me. He got a lot of attention. One of the police officers gave a police badge sticker for both him and Evan (who was at school).
At home Noah helped me make a smoothie.
We picked up Evan at school and Kim came over at 3:45. She stayed until 6pm while I tutored. There was a little bit of time when it was just Morry and the kids before I was able to get home.
I picked up McDonalds for the boys on my way home. Morry still hasn't really eaten anything in the last 2 days.
I just got the boys ready for bed. Morry is reading to Evan now.

Quick Swim
Evan woke up early and Morry got him fed and set up in the gameroom.
Noah woke up a little before 9am.
Evan told me he wanted to go to the pool today. Now that school has started the pool is only open in the morning for rec swim between 9am and 10am. I told him if we wanted to go we’d have to hurry up and get dressed. We managed to get to the pool around 9:30am. Evan and Noah were the other kids there at the baby pool. They turned on the spray things for us. About 15 minutes later another 3 year old boy showed up. We got out of the pool at 10 and sat at a picnic table and had some snacks. Then, we drove back home.
For lunch Noah ate a lot of hot dog, but Evan just had some yogurt with fruit mixed in.
Evan and Noah took good naps. Evan really needed it. He slept for about 4 hours!
I got dinner ready and in the oven so we could eat as soon as Morry got home. Morry was taking the boys to the school meeting and I had tutoring. We ate the cornbread casserole quickly and then left the house.
On my way home from tutoring I saw I had a voicemail. It was from the alarm company saying our alarm went off. Soon after Morry got home with the boys 2 police officers stopped by to make sure everything was ok. Morry said Evan just stood there staring at them.
I got home as the police were driving away.
We got the boys ready for bed. Noah is sleeping. Evan is throwing a fit about not going to bed. Morry is busy with Fantasy Football and Evan won’t let me put him to bed. He’s just sitting on the floor next to me with his pants around his ankles. He won’t let me pull up his pants either.
Noah woke up a little before 9am.

Employee of the Month
This morning Evan was up at 7am.
Once Noah got up and I got the boys dressed we went for a run. I did 2 miles again. While I was running a police car went by. We waved and the policeman waved back. Evan was very excited.
Riley came over from 10-12. Noah was great! He didn’t cry at all. I think it helped that Evan was there. While Riley was here I ran out to HEB to get a few things.
For lunch, I made myself a spinach salad from a cookbook I got for free. I’m starting to get free things to try out because of the Cha Ching Queen blog. The book I got is Simply Salads. I told the author I would try out a few recipes and then write a review. The spinach salad and dressing were really good. I tried giving Evan some salad, but he didn’t touch it.
After lunch I put the boys down for naps. Noah napped, but Evan didn’t.
For dinner, I made the Thai Beef Salad. I though it was good too and tasted like a real Thai salad. Morry seemed to like it as well.
Oh, and…Good news! Morry was named Employee of Month at work. I told him we needed to celebrate after dinner. We were trying to think of something fun to do with 2 small boys. We decided to go bowling. Before we left we called the bowling alley to see how crowded they were. There were league games tonight and they had a long wait. It was a good thing we called. Next choice? We thought we’d play mini golf. We called there and they said they weren’t very crowded.
Evan did well at first, but by the end he was getting kind of tired and was not behaving. Noah enjoyed crawling on all the obstacles. There was one loop-de-loop thing. Evan was able to hit his ball around it and just by chance it went through Noah’s legs on the way out.
We just put Evan and Noah to bed, but we just heard Evan moving around upstairs.

Mc Donalds
This morning, after Morry got ready for work he went to check on Evan, who he thought was sleeping in his room. When Morry walked in the hallway he saw Evan lying there by the gate. Morry was going to quietly walk by and go downstairs, but Evan saw him and asked for a movie. Morry got Evan set up with a movie and breakfast and then went to work. Evan didn’t come in our room until about 9:30am. Noah woke up around that time.
For lunch, we met Morry at work and then ate at McDonalds. There is a McDonalds right across the street from Morry’s office. After we ate, the boys played on thee playground there for a little bit. Evan climbed to the top all by himself. Noah enjoyed playing on the first level.
After lunch, we dropped Morry off and went home for naps. Neither kid napped. I tried putting them both down. Evan started making so much noise in his room I had to let him out so he wouldn’t distract Noah. Noah just would not go to sleep.
For dinner we went to a sandwich place called Southside Subs. While we were eating two constables (who Evan called policemen) came in to eat. Evan waved at them while they walked by us. On the way out, one of them stopped to talk to Evan. He went to his car and then came back in again. The constable came over to the table to give the boys badge stickers.
On the way home we stopped at HEB to get some food for tomorrow. We are having Barry, Lisa, and Lincoln over for dinner tomorrow.
We just put the boys to bed, but Evan is still up in the hallway or bathroom.

More DirecTv and Chick-Fil-A
So, we had to deal with DirecTV again this morning.
Last night we noticed that the guy had broken our new entertainment center. It’s not too bad. He just broke a screw in the back that connects the hutch to the table part. So, the hutch came unattached and was loose on the table. We also got some little nicks and scratches from moving the components in and out so much. It's really frustrating since we just bought this and paid a lot for it.
DirecTV sent 2 guys to our house this morning at 9am. They got the tv to work using one cable and I asked him to fix our entertainment center. The guy screwed the hutch back on, but not before centering it. He screwed it on crooked and hanging slightly off the table. A few minutes after they left the tv stopped working again and I notice the hutch off-centered. I ran outside to try and catch them, but they had already left. I spent an hour on the phone with DirecTV after that. I’m not exaggerating. Evan and Noah were very good for most of the time I was on the phone. I was furious with DirecTV. I spoke to two different managers. We are very close to just canceling our service. I told them that and asked for a good reason we should stay. The only thing the supervisor said was that we have been customers for a while and that they are the only ones with NFL Sunday Ticket. I said if that’s all he could come up, that was pretty sad. I said I didn’t even care about football. They tried to offer a few incentives, none of which were that great. The satellite is still not working the way it should. They are supposed to give us a new receiver in 2-5 business days.
Since I was on the phone all morning, by the time I got off the phone with DirecTV it was lunch time. I was trying to decide what to make us for lunch. I asked Evan what he wanted for lunch and he said Chick-Fil-A. I called Morry to see if he wanted to go out to lunch with us. Of course he said yes. On the way to Morry’s work Evan said he wanted to go inside the building. Evan was very happy pressing the elevator buttons and the door bell of the office door.
When we parked at Chick-Fil-A there were a few policemen with motorcycles parked near us. On the way inside Evan said he wanted to talk to the policemen. Morry took him over there and when Morry and Evan came inside I saw Evan had a big police badge sticker. He was very proud of it.
Evan did very well at Chick-Fil-A. He ate all of his nuggets and fruit. Morry took Evan to play on the indoor playground while I fed Noah.
When we came home I gave Evan a haircut. His hair was getting pretty wild and puffy looking. I took Evan and Noah on the backyard patio. It was cold outside, but we weren’t out there too long. When we came in I gave Evan one pixie stick for being good during the haircut. He had never had a pixie stick before. Of course, he loved it. He wanted to pour it in his mouth by himself. I let him, but he got the blue sugar powder all over his shirt. Oh well, there was hair all over the shirt any way. I put bibs on him during the haircut – 2 bibs, one covering his chest and one covering his back, but there were still a few pieces of hair that got past the bibs.
Evan and Noah took good naps.
For dinner I made a chicken and rice soup and we had some dinner rolls with it.
The boys are in bed now and it seems quiet up there.
