Flu Mist

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

It was pretty cold this morning so we decided to drive.  I think Lizzy was upset that we didn't take her today.

Neither Rachel nor I left the house while the kids were at school.

We walked to pick the boys up from school.  This time we brought Lizzy.

Rachel tutored Audrey in the afternoon.

Just before dinner, Rachel and the boys went to Austin Regional Clinic and got the flu mist.  I'm glad they got that taken care of.

For dinner Rachel made tortilla soup.

Noah is reading with Rachel now.  Then the boys will go to bed.

Until next time...

Everything is Awesome (Song from The Lego Movie)

We had another "snow day" today.  We got the call last night that school was cancelled.  The boys, of course, were very excited.  Right after the call the bought tickets online to see the Lego Movie for today.  The tickets were almost sold out.  So, we weren't the only ones with that idea.

We didn't get any snow or ice by us.  We kept the movie a surprise until it was just about time to go.  We told they boys we were going to lunch.  When they asked where we said, "Alamo Drafthouse" and they were very happy.

The movie was really cute and creative.  I would definitely recommend it. The boys and Morry loved it as well.  There was a song in the movie, "Everything is Awesome" that the boys really liked.  It's catchy and we keep singing it.

We had dinner at home.  I made tortilla soup. 

The boys are ready for bed.  Evan and Morry are watching the Olympics.  Noah is playing on his computer.

Sports Class and Evan's Friend

Today was a typical Thursday for most part. Noah and I hung out at home in the morning. I wanted to walk or run but it was raining pretty much all morning.

I got some cleaning done around the house.

At 12:30 Morry, Noah, and I went to Sports Class. Noah had fun, like always.

We came home for just a little bit and then went to get Evan. We parked at the trail and walked even though it was misting. I knew the front of the school would be crowded.

After school Evan's friend Ben came over to play. At first the boys were pretty mellow. They watched TV and ate their snacks upstairs. Then, they got a second wind and were running around. They were good, but just really active. Ben's mom came around 5:30 to pick him up.

For dinner we had tortilla soup and pasta.

Tonight was clean up night. Noah cleaned up well, but Evan was crying a lot because I put his Legos away. I didn't take apart anything. I just put them all in the box. He was upset for some reason.

The boys have been put to bed, but I hear Noah talking upstairs to Morry.

Smoke Detectors

About 2am our smoke detectors went off 2 separate times for just a few seconds. They do that every now and then and we have no idea why. It’s so annoying. Evan got scared and ended up sleeping in bed with us last night.

Blanca came at 10:45am. Noah was still sleeping. I had to go wake him up. I didn’t want his schedule to be thrown off.

Blanca took the boys outside for lunch and they were out there for a while.

Around 2:30 we put Evan and Noah down for naps and I sent Blanca home. The boys took good naps and were still sleeping when Morry got home.

Emily, a mom from the mom’s club, brought dinner for us tonight. She made tortilla soup and fajitas. It was nice not having to worry about making dinner.

After dinner we did Skype with Bubbe and Sherah. The plan was to have the boys talk to each other. We saw Court for a little bit, but Nolan was watching a movie. They saw Evan at first, but then Evan ran off to play. Noah stuck around a little bit. So, it wasn’t too successful.

Evan and Noah are watching Toy Story now. In a little bit we’ll put them to bed.
