Windshield

This morning Noah was up early. He got up as Morry and Evan were getting ready to leave.

This week is finals week so my tutoring schedule is changed. I had a student who needed to meet during the day today, so I brought Noah over to her house. Noah was very good and watched TV while I tutored.

But, on our way there a rock hit our windshield. It seemed to come from the grassy median. I'm thinking maybe it shot off a truck on the other side of the highway. It was a little rock, but still made a chip in the windshield. That was really annoying.

At home, I was about to look up some places to get windows repaired. I saw a post from someone on Facebook. She had just gotten a new windshield and was highly recommended the place if anyone needed it. Nice coincidence! Anyway, the window repair place is coming over tomorrow to fix our windshield.

After picking up Evan from school we met Yenis and Kevin at Ritas.

Noah fell asleep on the way home.

For dinner we had potatoes (sweet potato and baked potato) and brisket.

We just gave the boys baths and now they are in bed.

Evan's turn for a haircut

This morning I woke up early to run. I got my run in before Morry and Evan left for school. It was a lot easier running when it's not so hot out. But, I'm not sure I liked getting up before 6am. Maybe I'll try that once a week for my longer runs.

Both kids went to school without problems this morning.

I met some moms for lunch at Santa Rita and then met Morry at a flooring store. We got a few samples of hardwood flooring to bring home.

Noah was playing outside when I picked him up from school. He seemed to be having a good time.

At home Noah was acting tired and went in the guest bedroom to watch tv until it was time to get Evan.

My plan was to pick up Evan and then take him to Great Clips for a haircut. He said he would rather me cut his hair at home. So, we went home and I gave him a haircut.

Gabby came at 4pm and I tutored.

For dinner we had hamburgers/veggie burgers and baked potato/sweet potato. Guess who had which?

The boys had baths and now they are in bed.

Still doing well

Morry walked Evan to school today.

I dropped off Noah at his school at 9am.

I ran 3 miles and got some things done around the house.

After I picked up Noah we went to Bed Bath and Beyond and then drove to pick up Evan. We parked on the road across the street from the school. We had to walk just a little bit, but leaving the school was tough. Cars were backed up trying to get into the pick up area and there wasn't a way to get around them. I had to pretty much do a u-turn and go through neighborhood streets to get home. We were home only 5 minutes earlier than yesterday, when we walked.

At home I made shaved ice for the boys. The blender I have makes ice into powder and we got some snow cone syrup at Bed Bath and Beyond today. The boys loved it.

For dinner Morry grilled. He had bacon wrapped pork tenderloin and I had salmon. We also made a sweet potato and a baked potato. Guess who had which?

Evan kept insisting that Morry wanted shaved ice tonight. Really, Evan just wanted it again. So, I made shaved ice for all of us tonight. The boys ate all of theirs.

Evan and Noah are supposed to be in bed now. At 8:30 we are turning out the lights.

You Know You’re an Adult When…

You know you’re an adult when you get excited about a new washing machine and dryer. Our new ones came today. The ones we had were 12 years old, Morry got them when he moved down to Texas. We are testing it out now. The first load is in the washing machine. It holds a lot of clothes. I thought we were going to have to do 2 loads of darks, but we got them all in.

So, this morning Evan had school. Noah and I dropped him off and then went to Target. We needed a few things including high efficiency detergent for the new washer. Noah was good at Target.

At home I cleaned up a little bit and vacuumed.

At around 12:30 the guys from Home Depot came to deliver or new washer and dryer. When they were done I went to pick up Evan at school. Evan seemed like he had a good day at school.

Evan and Noah took good, long naps. I had to wake Evan up so he would go to bed tonight (ha ha). Like it really makes a difference.

For dinner, I had salmon and Morry had steak. We had potatoes, but I had sweet potato and Morry had a regular baked potato. Evan and Noah had sandwiches and veggies. Noah mostly just smooshed up his food on his tray.

We just put Evan and Noah to bed. Evan is now in the hallway though.

Muffins at playgroup

Well, the neighbor’s barking/howling dog woke the boys up again. At least they were able to go back to sleep for a little bit.

We had playgroup this morning. All of the kids had fun. Evan was happy to see they had muffins there. He was asking me on the way there if he could have a muffin. I think he is starting to associate muffins with playgroup.

After playgroup we went to the bank. I had some checks and cash from tutoring to deposit. Evan gets very excited about going to the bank. He knows if we go inside he will get a lollipop. The teller asked him what color he wanted and he said yellow.

Next, we went to the library. We got some books and also some movies about trains.

For lunch Evan had cat grilled cheese and veggies. He ate pretty well. Noah had a big bowl of cereal, half a container of squash, and half of a container of sweet potato.
