Running and Cleaning

This morning I ran 3 miles with Lizzy and the boys in the stroller. Once I had done 3 miles, I let Evan walk the 1/2 mile home from there. He ran a lot of the way. It was a nice, sunny morning and I could tell the boys were enjoying the weather.

The rest of the day was spent at home. We had lunch, but neither kid ate much. They had a lot of food in the stroller. In the afternoon while the boys were supposed to be napping I worked more on cleaning the office downstairs. It's almost done.

Gabby came at 4pm. I tutored late. Morry took the boys to Wendy's for dinner.

I came home around 8:15pm. Both boys seemed to be asleep when I got home.

Sunny Day, Sweeping the Clouds Away

Yea! Sun at last! Today was a very nice today. It was in the upper 70s today.

This morning I dropped Evan off at school and Noah at Alena’s.

I had a check-up appointment with my family doctor. I needed to have some blood work done. She also gave me some probiotics samples to try for my stomach issues. The last time I saw her was when I went to have my lump checked out. She seemed happy with the way I looked and felt after everything.

After the doctor, I stopped at my friend Julia’s house. She and her family are moving to Seattle soon and I wanted to see her before they left. We hung out for about 30 minutes. We both had places to be.

Then, I went to the Pink Ribbon Cowgirls lunch at Cypress Grill. It was a nice lunch and I enjoyed talking to the other women without Noah distracting me.

I picked up Noah and then Evan.

For some reason neither Evan nor Noah took a nap today.

I had a change of tutoring schedule today and Blanca wasn’t available. I dropped Evan and Noah off at Alena’s house on the way to tutoring and Morry picked them up on his way home.

I tutored 2 students and then came home for dinner.

Last night Evan actually stayed in bed all night. He must have been really tired from the trip. I’m really hoping he’ll do that again tonight. We’ll see what happens.

Brrrrr

It got cold here. The weather man said it got close to freezing here last night. This morning around 9 the temperature was 42 degrees. I still walked Evan to school. It was cold, but at least it was sunny. I bundled the boys in jackets and blankets, and by the time we got to school they didn’t need the blankets anymore.

While Evan was at school I just got stuff done around the house. Noah and I didn’t go anywhere. I fed Noah his usually lunch of cereal. I also gave him some Gerber puffs (little finger food cereal). He’s starting to get better at getting foods to his mouth. He seems to like those little puffs, even though not all of them make it to his mouth.

When I went to pick up Evan at school he was in the corner near the books lying on a pillow and covered with a blanket. He was smiling at me and said, “I tucked myself.” Wendy thought that was funny. He went over to the corner on his own, got the blanket and pillow, and tucked himself in. He must have been pretty tired.

When we got home I tried to put the boys down for a nap. Neither one wanted to sleep. I finally got Noah to sleep around 2:30. When Blanca came at 3 Evan was still up. Through the monitor we heard him say, “I want Blanca.” He must have heard her come in. Evan ended up not napping at all. Noah slept for almost 2 hours.

I got home from tutoring at 7. Morry had made ribs for us. We ate dinner and then put Evan and Noah to bed. Evan scratched his Toy Story CD, so we had to put the Raffi CD on instead. He cried some, but now it sounds like he is asleep. Noah doesn’t seem to mind what he listens to. Right now he has a swing music CD in his player.
