Back to School for Evan

Evan didn't have a fever last night and he seemed much better this morning so he went to school. His teacher said Evan was acting fine today.

Noah and I went to Wonders and Worries and then grocery shopping at Sprouts. Noah had a good time picking out snacks in the bulk section. We got different kids of nuts, dried peas, dried fruit, etc.

Noah ate a lot of that stuff for lunch when we got home.

Evan was happy when we picked him up and was acting normal. He didn't seem sick at all.

Morry took the boys to Evan's football practice and I tutored. Morry gave the boys dinner, but we still haven't eaten yet. There's chicken in the crockpot waiting for us.

The boys have been put the bed. Time to eat dinner.

Sprouts at Sprouts

It was another busy day today.

Noah was very good getting ready for school this morning and there were no issues at drop off.

After dropping the kids off at school I had a dermatologist appointment.

After the appointment I picked up some groceries at Sprouts (including sprouts), but didn't get ground beef. We needed ground beef for dinner, but I was going out to lunch and didn't want it sitting in the car that long.

I met the Pink Ribbon Cowgirls for lunch at Mandola's. Then, I picked up Evan and Noah at school.

Before coming home we stopped at HEB to get the ground beef and a few other things. It's hard to just go in the store for one thing when you have the boys.

Blanca came at 3:45. I tutored and got home around 5:45.

Morry took Evan and Noah to Evan's baseball practice. I got dinner ready while the were there and then they came home around 7:30.

We had tacos for dinner and then put the boys to bed.

Back on Schedule

This morning I took the boys with me to the gym. I did the cardio kickboxing class and then we left after that. The child care was very crowded today. AISD didn't have school today.

After the gym we went to Michael's to get some art projects. I thought the boys would have fun doing some art at home. We picked out birdhouses to paint and a few other things. I also bought some iron on patches. Almost all of Evan's pants have holes in them.

After Michael's we went to Sprouts to get some groceries for the week.

We came home and the boys played and ate lunch outside.

I tried putting Noah down for a nap but he didn't sleep.

Gabby came at 4pm.

I tutored one student, came back home for dinner, and left again after dinner to tutor another student. For dinner we just had some leftover chicken and potatoes we had in the freezer.

When I got home the boys were ready for bed. Noah was asleep and Evan was playing in the hall.

Last day of School

Today was Evan’s last day of school in the 3 year-old class. There is no school Thursday and then the new school year starts next week. Noah will be starting school too.

Blanca came at 9:30 to watch Noah. I took Evan to school and then tutored at the library.

After tutoring I went grocery shopping at Sprouts.

I picked up Evan and then we came home.

Evan wanted to play with Gabby so I asked if she could stay about 15 minutes more.

When Gabby left I put Noah down for a nap and started making dinner. I decided to make stuffed peppers, so I got some of the inside stuff ready so there wouldn’t be much to do later.

Noah napped for a while. Evan watched TV.

The sink got clogged, but Morry was able to unclog it by using a plunger.

For dinner we at the stuffed bell peppers and the boys had macaroni and cheese.

We just gave the boys baths and put them to bed. Evan just came downstairs to get some water.

For some reason Evan started saying “Oh ____” and putting different words in. First he said, “Oh Pickles.” Now, I’m hearing him say “Oh, Numbers”.

Grocery Shopping and Walk to School

After dropping Evan off at school, Noah and I went to Sprouts to get some groceries. When we got to the bulk section at the store Noah threw a fit. He wanted all the different candies. I bought some banana chips and dried pineapple, but he wasn’t happy with that. I ended up buying a few small peanut butter cups in bulk just to keep him quiet.

We ate lunch at home and after that walked to get Evan.

Somewhere on the way there Noah must have dropped his shoe. When we were almost to Evan’s school I realized Noah was missing a shoe – his new shoes we just bought over the weekend.

I had a hard time getting Evan to leave school. The kids were outside on the playground and he didn’t want to leave.

I walked the same route home and luckily I did find Noah shoe. It was on the sidewalk.

Gabby met us at home so that I could give her a check. She had accidently washed one of her babysitting checks and needed a new one. Noah was very upset that she was not staying. He cried as Gabby was leaving.

Evan and Noah took good naps.

I folded a ton of laundry and then was able to nap some too.

For dinner we had hamburgers and rice.

After dinner, I helped pack Evan’s stuff for Morry and Evan’s trip tomorrow.

The boys are in bed now. We’ll see how long that lasts.

Chilly

We got a lot of rain last night. Evan came in our room twice during the middle of the night. One of the times he asked why it was raining. It actually cooled off quite a bit today and Evan wore pants for the first time in months.

I dropped Evan off at school this morning and then Noah and I went grocery shopping at Sprouts, a new store that opened near us. The stuff they had on sale was really cheap. The other stuff was somewhat expensive, but I still managed to do well and get a lot for the money. Noah was good there, but kept asking for a cookie. I think he thought we were at Newflower where they give out free cookies to the kids.

Morry came home at lunch time.

We all went to pick Evan up from school. Evan was super excited to see Morry. He got the biggest smile on his face when he realized Morry was there.

When we got home the boys both took good naps.

I had my long tutoring day today. I tutored 4 students and got home at 8:45pm.

When I got home Evan and Noah were still making noises, but it seems to be quiet up there now.
