The last few days

Well, here’s what has happened the last few days.

Last Thursday, Evan’s class had their first field trip. I came along, as did most moms. We went to the Zilker Botanical Gardens. The kids had a great time, though were more interested in the rolly pollies than the flowers. Here are some pictures and videos - Evan's Class Field Trip

Thursday night we drove to Dallas.

I had my implant surgery on Friday. It was a lot better than I expected. I was just a little sore afterwards. I was even able to go to the park on Saturday.

Saturday night we went over to Sherah, JW, Nolan, and Court’s house. We had pizza for dinner and then went to Sonic for dessert. The boys had a great time playing with each other.

Morry flew home Sunday.

We saw Sherah and boys Monday and Tuesday as well. The boys were really excited to see each other each time.

Grandma/Lynn drove back with Evan, Noah, and me today. I’m not supposed to carry the boys so I needed the extra help.

Evan had his sports class tonight and then we ate dinner at home. We made one of those freeze and eat meals (mango cranberry chicken). It was good.

We just put the boys to bed. We are all glad to be back home. I hope they sleep better here than they did at Grandma and Papa’s house.

Outside Day

This morning I had planned on taking the boys to the Wildflower Center. Evan started throwing a fit that he didn’t want to go. I didn’t feel like fighting. I didn’t want to go badly enough to fight for it.

Evan and Noah had an early lunch of eggs and ham. The first batch was blue eggs and ham. Then, Evan wanted more and wanted me to make red eggs and ham. Hey, if he’ll eat it I’ll make them any color.

We spent a lot of the afternoon outside. The boys played while I finished planting the rest of the plants. Evan and Noah liked looking at the different bugs I found. First, I found a little earthworm. Then, I found this other weird looking worm. I think maybe it was some kind of centipede. It was about an inch and a half long, thick, and slimy looking. Evan really enjoyed looking at that one. I was looking down planting and he told me he petted it. He said it felt funny. I told him he just look at it, not touch it. I wasn’t sure exactly what it was. Oh, we also saw some rolly pollys. Evan and Noah each held one in their hand. Noah thought it was funny when it was crawling up his arm.

We came in for naps. Noah slept and Evan played in the game room.

For dinner we had spaghetti outside. Evan and Noah played more while Morry and I cleaned up.

Morry just left to get pick up Marilyn from the airport. She’ll be here until Monday.
