Pretzels

This morning we walked to school and then I went for a run.

After my run I went downtown to buy our Harlem Globetrotter tickets.  By buying them in person instead of over the web, we saved about $100.

Then, I went to a camera store to look at some different camera options.  We are thinking about buying a new camera.

I tutored at 3pm, so I was not able to walk to get the boys.  Morry walked to pick them up.

Shortly after they got home they left for baseball lessons and condition training.

When Morry and the boys got home we ate dinner.  We had ribs and I made pretzels.  The pretzels were good.  Morry really enjoyed them.

Now, the boys are getting ready for bed.

Lucky Number Thirteen

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Today is Rachel and my thirteenth anniversary.  It's hard to believe we've been married thirteen years.  We're just shy of having been together for fifteen years.

We walked to school this morning and then ended up talking to Jack's dad for a while.

We worked from home in the morning.  Rachel had a call and I had a call as well.

For our anniversary, we decided to have an anniversary lunch rather than an anniversary dinner.  We wanted to go somewhere that we wouldn't take the boys.  There's a German Bakery/Bar called Easy Tiger that opened on Sixth Street.  I had eaten there once before.  They server freshly baked soft pretzels and make their own bread for sandwiches.  They serve corned beef, but not thinly sliced, just slices of the brisket.  We were able to eat outside.  Their outside is covered.  We had a nice time.

I had a call in the afternoon so Rachel went to get the boys.

When Rachel got home, she took Lizzy to the vet for her annual checkup.  Everything went well but we're awaiting the results of the blood work.  But her weight actually came down some and everything else appeared healthy.

Evan and I went to baseball practice.  It was a really good practice.  Evan played really well.

For dinner we had leftovers from lunch.  We were able to eat outside.  The bugs are not yet too bad.

The boys are getting ready for bed.

Until next time...

Family Movie Night

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Early this morning, maybe around 5 something, I was awakened by the sound of thunder and the pouring rain.  After seeing how bad the fields looked because of the rain during Evan's game yesterday, I thought to myself that poor Noah's game was going to be cancelled.

When I got up in the morning it was sunny.  Evan and Noah were up playing with each other.  I held out a slim hope that maybe the fields would dry enough.  Unfortunately, around 11am, we got an email that the fields were closed and all games were cancelled.  Noah cried when Rachel told him though he refused to admit it was because of the game being cancelled.  I'm hoping that the game will be made up.

We decided we were going to go to Sam's Club.  It's been a while since we were there and we needed some things.  Evan and Noah were very well behaved there, so we got them an Icee and soft pretzel at the end.

We came home and had lunch.  After lunch, the boys went upstairs and started the massive cleanup in the game room and their rooms.

Around mid-afternoon, Rachel had to tutor a student so she left.  On her way home, she picked up pizza at zpizza and got the movie Big Miracle from Redbox.  We ate at the coffee table and watched the movie.  The boys ate well and they seemed to like the movie. Rachel also made meringue cookies.

We just put the boys to bed, but Evan decided to come down here and is watching me type.  He wanted to show me a baseball card.  If you need to get him something small for Hanukkah, baseball cards will do the trick.

Until next time...

Errands

This morning Evan woke up early. A little before 7am he came in our room. I set him up with tv in the game room and then went back to sleep for a little bit.

Once Noah was up we all got up and got dressed and had breakfast.

We had some errands to run today. First, we went to Sams Club. We spent a while there and got some good deals. Evan and Noah were good, so we got them a soft pretzel and ICEE to share.

After Sams we went to Office Depot. We wanted to look at printers. Evan and Noah were getting into everything and touching all of the printer buttons. It was very hard trying to keep an eye on them and check out printers.

We came home and ate lunch. While the boys were eating I vacuumed upstairs.

Noah took a nap while Evan watched TV.

For dinner Morry made fried matzoh for him and the boys. I had a salad and egg sandwich.

After dinner we took a walk.

When we came back home we gave Evan and Noah baths and then put them to bed.
