Big Weekend and Evan's Birthday

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

On Thursday night, Grandmom flew in.  Friday the boys didn't have school.  Noah had a playdate.  Before that, we went to Wholy Bagel.  For dinner, we met Matt, Rachael, Max, Tristian, and Maddie at Phil's Ice House.  It was a nice time.

Yesterday the Bucs had a one-day tournament.  Evan and I left the house at 7am and stopped at the bank and then went to Donut Taco Palace.  We got to the fields at 8.  The first game was at night.  In the first game, after one inning we were winning 3-2.  We broke it open in the bottom of the second with 4 runs.  Evan came in to pitch the third inning.  He walked the first batter he faced, then struck the next two batters out and got a weak grounder to end the inning.  He got the first batter out in the fourth, walked the second batter and then got the next two out to end the inning.  The Bucs ended up winning the game.

We had a bit of a break and played the second game.  This one wasn't as close.  The Bucs took this one easily.  Evan walked several times and stole several bases.  He played catcher for most of the game.  He did well.  By going 2-0 in a one-day tournament, the Bucs were assured of a spot in the championship.

We had a bit of a break and played the championship.  After the first inning, we were winning 3-0.  In the top of the second, we broke it open with 20 runs.  That's right, 2-0.  After we had batted around, we stopped having the kids steal.  We never took more than one base on any hit, even if the ball rolled to the wall.  The other team just got down and they started making really bad mistakes.  It was tough.  We tried to be good winners.  After the game, the boys from the other team were smiling and the Bucs got gold championship rings.  The boys were really happy.  Evan asked to play another game.  We didn't get home until 7:05 pm, twelve hours from when we left the house.

Today was Evan's Birthday.  He wanted to go to Top Golf, so we went there for brunch.  Evan was even better than when we went on Noah's Birthday.  He scored a 106, increasing his score by nearly 33%.  From there we went to Rita's because we had a free Rita's water ice coupon for Evan. Evan really wanted to go there.

We stayed home in the afternoon, though Noah went to a friend's for a easter egg hunt.  Then we went to Rudy's for dinner.  Evan enjoyed the brisket.  He wanted to go to TCBY for dessert.

The boys are in their beds now.

Until next time...

Back to Work

This morning we stayed at home.  I went for a run.  The boys didn't want to come with me on their scooters so they stayed home with Morry.

I got lunch ready for the boys and Blanca came over to babysit.  I left to tutor.

The boys were playing outside with Blanca when I got home.

For dinner we had frittata.

After dinner we got dessert at Ritas.   When we got home we took a short walk with Lizzy.  Evan and Noah then played outside for a little bit before it got too dark.  We made up a baseball game.  I drew a target with spots for home run, triple, double, and single.  They threw a penny to see what they got.  If it was outside of the target it was an out.  They really liked that game.

The boys are ready for bed, but still playing around. They don't seem very tired.

Tutoring and Nice Weather

This morning we took it easy at home and then went to Noah's class at the Little Gym.

After the Little Gym Noah went to Cole's house and Evan came with me to tutoring.  I finished tutoring a little early and Evan was good, so we stopped at Rita's.  Evan got an Italian ice with half mango and half cherry.

We picked up Noah from home and then the boys played outside in the backyard.  The weather was great toady.  It was in the 70s and sunny.

For dinner we had leftover tacos from last night.

We went for a walk and the kids had Jello for dessert.

We are getting them ready for bed now.
