Thursday - Tutoring and Shaved Ice

This morning Noah went to Cole's house for a little bit and Evan and I stayed home.

I took the boys with me to tutoring today.  Today it was Evan's turn to pick where to go after tutoring.  He chose Sweet Caroline's.

Later in the afternoon Morry took the boys outside to play baseball. It started raining a little bit, so they came in and played Wii.

We had leftovers for dinner.

Noah and I did reading and writing while Evan played Legos.  Evan didn't want to do it.

Now, we'll get the boys ready for bed.

Walk and Snacks

This morning we took another walk to the school. This time we brought snacks and drinks with us.  Everyone had fun. 

When we got back I got ready for tutoring.

While I was gone Morry took the boys to a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese.  Evan and Noah had a good time.

For dinner we had salmon and chicken.

While Morry had a phone meeting tonight I did reading and writing with the boys.

The boys and Lizzy had showers tonight.

Now the boys are ready for bed.

One more day

This morning Noah and I went to HEB and then he went to Cole's house.

I picked him up and we went to get Evan at school.  Noah had a massive fit there that seemed to last forever.  It was very difficult.

While Evan did his homework Noah and I did reading and writing.

For dinner we had crab and roasted chicken.  Guess who had the roasted chicken.

Morry's getting the boys ready for the shower now and I hear lots of complaining coming from Noah.  I need to go downstairs and see what's going on.

Evan has one more day of school tomorrow and then it's his summer break too.

Noah's Cavity

This morning I took Noah to the dentist to get his cavity fixed.  He was very good there and all went well.  He never once complained. They had a choice of movies for him to watch and he chose Monsters Inc. He was so involved watching the movie, he didn't seem to notice what they were doing.

We came home and a little while later we had handymen come by.  They fixed a few things around the house and outside for us.

Morry came home to work from home.

I picked up Evan from school.  Blanca came over and then I left to tutor.

When I got home we made pasta for dinner.

After dinner I did some reading and writing with Noah and then both boys wrote in their journals.  I got journals for the boys hoping to have them write in them each night during the summer.  They wanted to start today.  Below are pictures from their journals.  The boys are in bed now.

Friday

The boys had good days at school. Noah's class celebrated Chinese New Year and had a little parade on the playground. They made paper lanterns and little kites.

Evan said he had a good day too.

When Noah came home from school I worked with him on reading and writing. He really likes that. He asks to do it. I think he needs more challenging tasks at times and this is good for him. He is reading a few words and we are working on writing his letters and numbers.

For dinner we went downtown to Garridos for dinner. We had a Groupon that was expiring soon. The kids were not well behaved at first, then towards the end they got better. After dinner Morry and Evan got smoothies. Noah didn't want one. I picked up an order from Mellow Johnny's. They have a good deal on a bike shorts/jersey set and I ordered it online the other day and had it sent to the store.

We got the boys ready for bed and Morry is reading to them now.
