Swimming and Cookies

This morning the boys took it easy at home.  They watched Field of Dreams.  I went for a run.  I made them lunch and then left for tutoring.

While I was gone Evan and Noah went to Jack's house to play and swim.  They had a good time.

This afternoon and evening Noah helped me make and decorate sugar cookies for our block party tomorrow.

For dinner we had leftovers.  The boys (all 3 of them) are playing Wii now.  Soon, we'll put the kids to bed.

Noah's Last Little Gym

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

I didn't have to get up early this morning to take Evan to school.  It was very nice.  After I got ready, I started to come downstairs.  I suspected Evan was up because his light was on his room, though his door was closed.  As I walked down the stairs, Evan came out looking for me.  I guess he heard me walking.

Noah got up around 9 this morning.  Rachel, Noah and Evan stayed at home and didn't do much in the morning.

At 11:45 was Noah's last Little Gym class.  The kids put on a "show" using what they had learned all year long.  We were able to go into the gym while they did various activities to watch them.  On the "floor exercises", Noah did great.  Mr. Jose, the instructor, didn't have to tell Noah what to do at all.  Noah just went through the routine quickly and very well.  I heard a few "wow" comments from the parents.  Noah seemed to enjoy it.  During each routine he did, he was very serious though.  But he seemed happy to have us all there watching him and being with Cole.

After the Little Gym, Rachel had to tutor.  She took the boys with her.  After tutoring, they stopped at Rita's for water ice.

In the late afternoon, the boys played Wii.  I played a bit with them.  Evan and I played some football in the front yard.

For dinner, we had leftover pizza.

After dinner, Rachel baked sugar cookies and we decorated the cookies.

The boys are cleaning up and then we'll put them to bed.

Until next time...

Cookie Making

Today the boys had good days at school. 

I took Noah to school and picked him up.

Morry and Noah got Evan at school.  Gabby came over to babysit while I tutored.

When I got home we made sugar cookies and after dinner we decorated them.

The boys are pretty much ready for bed.  Morry is reading to them now.

Evan's Blog

I woke up. And then I ate food for breakfast. And then I went to school. I went in Daddy's car to school.

I played football at recess. I did good. At centers I played on the computer.  Next, I did iPad and iPods.  I played Stack the Countries.   I colored in my square last. I colored it green because I did good.

After school, Daddy picked me up and I went to the gas station with Daddy.

At home, I made cookies with Mommy and Noah.  I used frosting and sprinkles and stars to decorate the gingerbread guys. 

Mommy went to tutoring and Daddy went to a meeting.  I was with Nathan's sister, Ana at home.

Mommy came home and then we finished making our cookies.

We had dinner.

I played Star Wars Wii and then I had to do my homework.

After I finished my homework I looked at a card from Grandma and Papa.  And then I ate a cookie.  And I'm writing the blog right now.

And now, I'm going to go to bed.

Tomorrow is Friday and then it will be the weekend.   I will have fun on the weekend.  I might play with Noah.

Holiday Parties

Evan and Noah both had their holiday parties at school today.

I went to Noah's party at noon. After all the kids ate lunch they played games and ate gingerbread men. Noah wanted to be by my side the whole time.

I dropped Noah off at home with Blanca and met Morry at Evan's school. Last time we brought Noah to Evan's party it was not very pleasant. He was cranky and demanding. Evan's party was nice. They rotated stations with different games and crafts. One of the stations was the dreidel game. Evan spent a lot of time there. Mr. Valdes got the class together for a picture. The parents were joking that it looked like they were going to perform or sing for us. So, the kids decided to sing Dreidel Dreidel Dreidel. After that the kids showed us their surprise projects they have been working on. There was an ornament, a card, and a calendar that they made.

Morry went home and a little later I took Evan home with me after school.

I was invited to this open house type cookie decorating party on our street. She said you could come any time between 5pm and 11pm. I went over there around 5:30 and stayed for a little while. She had all kinds of sugar cookies already made. There were different colors and types of frosting and sprinkles. Then, we all got to take home about a dozen cookies in a box she had for us. It was very nice. I rushed through my decorating so I could get home and we could all go out to dinner. The kids were very impressed though when I came home with a box of decorated cookies.

For dinner we ate at Cypress Grill.

At home the boys picked out one sugar cookie each to eat. They are also picking treats off of Evan's gingerbread house he made at school.

Now, we are going to get the kids ready for bed.
