Soccer Sunday

Hello everyone, this is Morry. Rachel is talking to her parents so I'm writing the blog tonight.

This morning, Evan woke up around 8am and was playing with his Buzz Lightyear. He's been extra excited about Toy Story stuff since he saw the Toy Story 3 trailer. We played upstairs in the gameroom a bit and then came downstairs and watched Toy Story.

When Rachel and Noah got up we went over to Evan's 2nd soccer class. This one started out much better than last time. Evan was following directions and really playing. He was doing very well. A father came up to Rachel and said that Evan can really kick the ball. The second half wasn't as good as Evan was playing with his friend Kevin and not paying as much attention.

After soccer, we went to a new grocery store called Newflower. They sell mostly produce with some meat and a few other things. We got a bunch of fruit and vegetables for the boys. At one point, I turned my back on Evan while we were next to the bulk candy and he helped himself to two sour gummi bears.

We came home and had lunch and put the boys down for naps.

After naps, we had a birthday party to go to. They had some baby pools there and they had a little petting zoo and pony ride. Neither boy rode the pony but they had baby goats which Noah loved. Evan just wanted to splash in the pool. They also had fruit there and both boys ate a ton of fruit. They also had cut watermelon into triangle slices. Evan had 3 and Noah had 1. Evan did have a little pizza and a piece of cake.

After the party, we stopped at Little Caesars and got a pizza for Rachel and me. Evan ended up eating a piece as well as a piece of Crazy Bread.

Once dinner was over we took the boys upstairs and gave them baths. One of the party favors was a little pill that expands in water into a sponge. Evan picked the green one and put it in the water. It turned into an elephant.

The boys are in bed now and are fairly quiet.

Until next time...

Evan's First Soccer Class

Hello everyone, this is Morry. Rachel's folding laundry so I'm writing the blog tonight.

Today was Evan's first soccer class. This is Evan's birthday present from Grandmom. Everyone has been excited for it. This is the first sport that we have signed Evan up for, and we were curious to see what it was like. It's an indoor soccer facility. They had lots of drills and little games for the kids to play. At first they had a game without any soccer balls. Evan was trying to figure out why they couldn't play soccer. So he left the game, walked over and picked up a soccer ball and kicked it into the goal. He seemed happier once they started to play soccer. He had some difficulty listening to instruction but caught on. He also kept wanting to use his hands. He was more interested in scoring goals than dribbling the ball. After 45 minutes, he ran over to me and told me he was "all done." He said he had fun but i think he was frustrated not being able to use his hands. Overall, I think the class was good and Evan enjoyed it.

After soccer, we went over to Yenis and Kevin's for lunch. Rachel and Yenis made spaghetti.

When we got home, we put the boys down for naps. Evan didn't sleep as long as I thought he would have, given how hard he played today.

We decided to go to the Oasis tonight to listen to salsa music. It's the band that Rachel used to go see all the time. We stopped on the way and picked up a Happy Meal at McDonald's for Evan. We also got an extra thing of nuggets in case Noah wanted some or Evan wanted more. Noah ended up eating two nuggets.

Everyone enjoyed the Oasis. Evan danced with me for one dance and danced with Rachel later on. We watched the sunset. Noah liked listening to the music as well.

We got home very late so the boys went down without too much of a fight. It's quiet up there now.

Until next time...
