UT and a Birthday Party

This morning we went to campus. The University of Texas Children's Research Lab was looking for some kids to take part in a study. We have participated a few times in the past. Evan and Noah both did a study involving puppets to see how children relate to people who are similar to them. Each study took just a few minutes and the boys got to pick out a prize from the toy box. Noah got a mini chalkboard and Evan got a dinosaur figures pack.

After that we walked around campus a little bit. We bought some Texas stuff at the Co-op (bookstore) and got a bite to eat at Einsteins Bagels.

Morry dropped us off at Kevin's birthday party at a jumpy place. He met someone for a lunch meeting. Towards the end of the party Morry came to pick us up. Evan and Noah had a great time and were worn out.

We took it easy the rest of the afternoon and evening. For dinner we picked up Blue Bamboo and made pasta for kids.

Morry and the kids watched a little bit of the Longhorns football game and then we got them ready for bed.

Day After the Super Bowl

Morry took Jack/Zayde to the airport early this morning. Morry wore his Steelers gear to work today. Do you think he was proud of his team?

Evan and Noah woke up around 8am. This morning I took the boys and Lizzy for a run. I ran about 3 miles (35min). It was tough, but I’m glad I did it.

When we got back I colored my hair brown (temporarily). I needed to do something since my roots were showing. So, I decided to try brown this time. I put a movie on in our room for the boys to watch while I did my hair and showered. They were both very good. Noah played in his exersaucer and Evan watched some of the Netflix Watch Instantly movies that you can watch on to the computer for free with a Netflix membership. They had some fire truck kid’s show and Polar Express Movie that Evan chose to watch.

After that we ate lunch. Well, I should say Noah and I ate lunch, but Evan wasn’t eating much. Blanca came at 1:30. At 2:00 I did a study for AT&T. They had me install some wireless router using the directions they provided and talk about how easy/hard I thought it was to install. I got paid $75 for 45 minutes.

When I got home around 3:15pm the boys were napping and I was able to nap a little bit too.

For dinner Morry made tacos and rice.

After dinner we went to Wendy’s for Frosties. It had been a while since we got ice cream. Evan got his own kid’s size Frosty. He did very well eating the frosty. Hardly any of it spilled. Noah had a little of mine and Evan’s. Evan enjoyed feeding Noah very tiny amounts of Frosty.
