This morning I had to get both boys up and dressed in time to take Evan to school. Noah was not in a good mood. It was cold. I was in the upper 20s this morning. We parked at the path and walked to school the back way. Noah was crying and whining the whole way.
Noah and I came home for a little bit and played Go Fish. Then, it was time to take him to school.
After I picked up Noah from school we went to the library. We got some CDs from the library. One was the Annie soundtrack (one of my favorites). I put in on for Noah in the car. He liked the first 2 songs, but then fell asleep in the car.
We had just a few minutes at home. I tried to get Noah up, but he wanted to sleep in the car.
We picked up Evan from school.
Gabby came over so I could tutor. I got dinner ready for the boys so Gabby could feed them while I was gone.
When I got home from tutoring the boys we ready for bed and coloring with crayons with Gabby.
Evan and Noah have now bed put to bed, but Noah's still awake and downstairs for some reason.

Trying to feel better
So, today was my turn to bring in snacks for Evan’s class. Every other Thursday is pizza day and the moms take turns bringing in sides or snacks to go with the pizza. I (with Evan’s help) made blueberry muffins last night and cut up some apples and grapes. Last night Evan wanted a blueberry muffin, but we told him he had to wait until school to eat one and he could tell everyone he helped make them.
Well, as soon as we got to school today Evan ran up to Wendy and told her about the muffins and that he helped make them.
Before school I left Noah at home with Blanca. After dropping Evan off I went to Starbucks to tutor. A 63 year-old man going back to school needs help with the math part of the GRE so he contacted me. It was our first time meeting so we met at Starbucks. Most likely we’ll meet twice a week for a couple of hours until he takes the GRE in January or February.
After tutoring I came home and did some stuff around the house. I washed clothes, fed Noah, and ate lunch. Then it was time to get Evan.
Evan seemed tired when I picked him up. In his folder there was a picture he had made. It is on blue construction paper and looks like maybe they used some kind of chalk. Under the drawing it says, “It’s and airplane!”
Noah took a nap, but Evan didn’t. He just played in his room for a little bit.
Blanca came at 4 and then I went to tutor 2 more students. I came back at 7:30. Morry made pizza for us for dinner.
I’m feeling better today, though still not great. I took Mucinex last night and it helped me sleep. I just hope the boys don’t get sick. Morry said he’s starting to feel sick. Hopefully, he doesn’t get sick. He’ll be in some very cold and wet weather in just a few days. I'm on antibiotics so I don't think I'm contagious now.

Another cold
I think I either have another cold, bad allergies, or a sinus infection. I was up a lot of the night coughing and sneezing. I didn’t get much sleep. I finally fell asleep around 3 something and then woke up at 7 something.
I drove Evan to school today because not only was I tired, but they were predicting rain. After dropping Evan off I went to HEB to get a refill on my thyroid medicine. We just got new insurance. I gave them the info I had on the new insurance, but for some reason it wasn’t going through. They had my birthday wrong on something. I called Morry when I got home and after talking to someone at his work they said just to use the old insurance info. and they would figure it all out.
I picked Evan up at school and then went back to HEB to get my medicine. This time I had no problems.
When I was changing Evan before his nap he told me he wanted to go potty. He has yet to actually do anything on the potty, but sometimes he will ask to sit on it. He sat on the potty for a few seconds and I gave him a sticker. I give him a sticker every time he sits on the potty. I put Evan back in bed with just a shirt and diaper on. I didn’t feel like putting his jeans back on if he was just going to be in bed, and I thought he’d be more comfortable without the jeans anyway.
Noah went down for his nap pretty easily but Evan wasn’t napping. I went to Evan’s room again. When I walked in he had his jeans on (not zipped or snapped), his shoes on and velcroed (but on the wrong feet), and his socks on both of his hands like mittens. He told me he wanted to sit on the potty again. So, I got him undressed and this time he sat on the potty for a while. Every time I’d ask him if he was done, he’d say no. Evan is still somewhat confused about how to pee in the potty. He kept telling me it didn’t work or that the pee was stuck. After a while on the potty, and still no pee, I put Evan back in his room and he fell asleep at the door by the gate. At least he took a nap. I was able to nap for a little bit too while the boys were napping.
For dinner we just had soup and leftover pasta and bread from the other night.

Need some sleep
Noah did it again. He was up the majority of the night. I don’t know what is going on. Morry and I both think his stomach is bothering him. We were so tired today.
We took Evan and Noah to see Madagascar 2 today. We went to the 11am show. Noah was a little cranky and slept on Morry some of the time. Evan did well and seemed to like the movie. Before the movie they showed a preview of Wall-E for the DVD and Evan got very excited.
After the movie we tried to put the boys down for a nap, but weren’t too successful. Noah maybe slept a few minutes, and Evan didn’t sleep at all.
While they were trying to nap I ran over to HEB to get some food for dinner. We invited the Podbers over.
I made spaghetti, zucchini, salad, roasted garlic and bread. For dessert I made chocolate chip meringue cookies and rice crispy treats. Evan had a good time playing with Ben and Molly. Noah was cranky for a lot of time. I think he was just over tired.
Well, we had a long day, I hope the boys sleep well tonight.

Evan changed his diaper
This morning when I went to Evan’s room he was at the gate with no pants or diaper on. He told me he took his diaper off. I looked around his room, but didn’t see it. I asked Evan where it was and he told me he threw it away in the diaper champ. At least it was just a pee diaper.
I went for a run/walk with the boys and Lizzy this morning and then we played in the front yard for a little bit.
Evan and Noah took good naps today. Evan actually napped in his bed (not at his gate). He must have been pretty tired. We had Asian pasta and chicken and stars soup for dinner.
I tutored one student tonight and got back around 9.
Tonight is a football night. Morry is upstairs watching the Steelers.
Evan and Noah are in bed now and quiet. Let’s hope for a good night. Last night was a lot better, by the way. We gave Noah gas drops before bed and that really helped him sleep. He slept until around 7am. Much better than the night before.

Sleepless in Austin
I don’t know what Noah’s problem is. He kept us up all last night. He woke up just about every hour crying. We tried everything. He had a 101 temperature during the middle of the night, but this morning had no fever. So, we’ve been pretty tired today. It was a hard night.
We decided to walk around the Barton Creek greenbelt. Morry and I had never brought the kids there and it had been a while since either of us had been. The weather is beautiful today and we wanted to do something outside. By the time we left the house it was about 12:30.
We took Lizzy and the boys to the hiking trail. Evan walked and Morry had Noah in the baby backpack. Evan had a great time and wanted to stop and touch everything. Noah liked being outside and slept some of the time in the backpack. Evan walked almost the whole time except for the very end when I carried him to the car. On the way home we stopped at go smoothies at Jamba Juice. Normally what I do at Jamba Juice is get a medium sized smoothie and have them put some of mine in a kid’s size cup for Evan. This time, I guess they misunderstood and they split the smoothie evenly in 2 small cups. We thought that was a lot for Evan, but he had no problem finishing it.
For dinner we went to Alborz (Persian). We go pretty often since Evan usually does well there and likes the food. Morry and I got the buffet and when Morry was up getting his food Evan asked me where he was. I pointed to Morry and Evan yelled, “Hi Daddy. Daddy, Hi.” Evan ate lots of tabouli. At one point we noticed Evan was wiping his nose on the bottom of the table cloth that was hanging down near him. We told him not to do that. Then he lifted up the tablecloth and said, “Look at the booger.” It was hard for Morry and me not to laugh.
After dinner we stopped at Target to get a present for Ben’s birthday party tomorrow. Evan loves Target. Morry thinks Evan touched every single item they had at target. We got a few things for Noah like formula and pacifiers. Noah’s pacifiers seem to disappear around the house. The problem is that they are rubbery and bounce really far whenever dropped. We also got some candy (Morry’s idea) since all the Halloween candy was 50% off.
Last night Morry sorted Evan's candy (something Morry does every Halloween). He says that way you can see what you got better. Evan did pretty well. :)

Cranky Day
So, last night was pretty rough. Noah didn’t sleep well. He got a little cold and it was keeping him up. Evan must have heard Noah crying. So, Evan didn’t sleep well either. Both boys were up for the day around 7am.
This morning Evan helped me make pumpkin muffins (http://www.recipezaar.com/6957 ) I also made beer bread (http://www.recipezaar.com/35390 ) since I had all the baking stuff out anyway. I was trying to find a bread recipe and then saw one that used beer. I thought that was great. We have a bunch of beer left over in the fridge from my birthday party in July. We never drink beer so it is a great way to use it up. For the beer bread I used whole wheat flour instead and also added some flax seed meal as one person suggested on the site. Both things were good. Evan liked the muffins so much that he had almost 3 for lunch and another one for dinner. We had the beer bread with dinner tonight and Morry said he liked it too. Morry saw a recipe he thought looked good in the Penzey’s magazine so we tried it out tonight. It was a cracker coated baked fish, but we used chicken instead. That was good also. So, we had a successful day food wise.
Both Evan and Noah were pretty cranky today. It made for a tough day. Noah would cry every time I had to set him down. I was able to make the bread and muffins because he slept in his swing for a little bit.
