Cloudy Sunday

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

When we got up this morning, Evan asked that we go to the park that Rachel and the boys stopped at yesterday.  It's an old school park with a metal sliding board, a merry-go-round and a see-saw.  We drove over there.  They had a very good time.  They also had really never played on equipment like that before so they immediately were testing the limitations of that equipment so we had to make sure they knew the rules.  But they had a good time.

We just hung around the house in the afternoon.  Evan and watched the Steelers game when it came on.

Noah and Rachel went to Grandma and Papa's for a bit.

Noah came down and watched with us in the fourth quarter.

For dinner we had pork tenderloin and asparagus.

After dinner, we walked around the neighborhood and looked at lights.

Until next time...

Playgroup at the Park

This morning we met the playgroup at the “old school” park. We got there at 10:30am and we were the first of the group to get there. Evan went right to the see-saws and wanted me to see-saw with him. I had Noah in the backpack when we first got there. After a little while I took Noah out of the backpack and let him crawl around, but he kept putting rocks in his mouth. It was too hard for me to watch what Noah was putting in his mouth and keep an eye on Evan, so I put Noah back in the backpack. One of the kids from Evan’s class came. He has an older 5 year-old brother and Evan wanted to play with the brother a lot. Evan loves playing with big kids. He followed the brother around and asked him to see-saw. We left the park around 12. I needed to get home since I was tutoring later.

At home I made lunch for the boys and quickly ate a sandwich. Blanca came over at 12:45. I tutored a home school student this afternoon. He’s taking an online Algebra II class and needed some help. I’ll be helping him a few more days to help him finish his course.

For dinner we went to BJs. We picked it thinking it would be fast and easy to find food for Evan to eat. We called ahead, but still had to wait awhile. I’m not sure how much the call-ahead really helps. Evan was in a really cranky mood at first. He wouldn’t eat anything. Also, right after the waiter brought our drinks over somehow Noah grabbed Morry’s drink and knocked the whole thing over. It was a mess. It got all over Noah’s pants, the highchair, and floor. I quickly pulled Noah’s pants off and he spent the rest of dinner with his pants off. Toward the end of dinner Evan finally decided to start eating. He had pizza and apples.

After dinner we went to HEB. It had been a while since we had gone grocery shopping and really needed food for the house. Evan and Noah were very good. We were there a while. Evan ate an apple and a few slices of a loaf of bread we were buying.

We got home late and the boys didn’t go to bed until about 10:00. It seems quiet now. I hope they sleep well. We have a birthday party to go to in the morning.

The Park

Today we went to the park and met Yenis and Kevin there. We went to the park that has the old school type equipment. There is a merry-go-round and see-saws. I put Noah in the backpack and followed Evan around the small park. Evan loved the merry-go-round and see-saw. There was also a spring rocking horse that he spent a lot of time playing. I called him a cowboy and Woody (from Toy Story). He loved that. Evan wanted me to keep saying, “Hi Cowboy” or “Hi Woody.”

After the park Yenis and Kevin came to our house for lunch. Yenis and I had sandwiches and the boys had pizza.

Noah took a good nap, but Evan didn’t sleep that long.

Jeremy, Morry's friend from work, is in town this week. We invited him over for dinner. We had corned beef, veggies, and corn bread for dinner.

After we put the boys to bed I’m going out with Alissa. Morry and Jeremy are going to watch a movie at home.
