Spinach Sandwich and Gardening

This morning Noah gave me a hard time leaving the house. He didn't want his shoes on.

We went to the gym and I did a Pilates class.

When we got home the boys helped me plant the plants in pots. They enjoyed scooping up the soil from the bag and putting it in the pots. Evan and Noah also had a good time watering the plants too.

After we planted everything I made lunch. Evan wanted to sit outside to eat lunch. Noah got in a really bad mood and was throwing a fit about everything. He did that the whole entire time Evan and I were trying to eat our lunch. It seemed like Noah was just making up things to get upset about. When Evan sat down in his usual seat Noah threw a fit that he wanted to sit there. Then Noah was mad because I was eating lunch (?). He was screaming/crying I don't want you to eat lunch. Then Evan and I were talking about having the jello we made for dessert after dinner. Noah threw a fit saying "Jello is not for dessert". Like I said, I think he was just making up things to throw a fit about. It was not a very pleasant lunch, but somehow Evan ended up eating very well. Evan requested a spinach sandwich (spinach and bread only) and ate the whole thing. He also ate a side of tomatoes and a bowl of fruit (oranges and grapefruit).

Noah did eventually eat his lunch, but he didn't eat that much.

I put Noah down for a nap, but he just played in his room.

Gabby came at 4pm and I tutored late.

Morry and the boys had pasta for dinner and Morry put the boys to bed.

Here's a video from gardening today

Ducks and Fountains

This morning we met Yenis and Kevin at the lake about 11:45. They had been there a little while and Kevin didn’t want to walk. They were heading home when we got there.

Evan wanted to walk instead of riding in the stroller. He walked/ran to the part where the ducks are (maybe a mile). We stopped for a little while and fed the ducks sandwich bread we had brought from home. Noah ate about 2 ½ slices. Evan probably had about 2 slices for himself as well. I think the boys ate more than the ducks.

We walked back to the car and saw the Zilker Park train go by full of kids. Evan was very excited about seeing the train.

There’s a splash fountain area on the lake, but it wasn’t too close to where we were. I put the boys in the car and we drove over there. Evan had a blast. I could hardly get his shoes off. He wanted to run right through the fountains. The water was cold, but he didn’t mind at all. Noah, on the other hand, did not like that cold water at all. He cried when I set him down. We stayed for about 30 minutes. Evan threw a fit when it was time to go. I had a hard time getting him to the car.

By the time we got home, cleaned up, and ready for naps it was about 3:00. They both took good naps.

Morry got home around 6:00 and we ate Coke Ham and mashed potatoes.

While Morry cleaned up I took Evan outside to help me water the plants. We got him a little watering can at Target yesterday. He enjoyed watering all the plants and trees outside. He even watered himself too.

Then, we went to HEB to order food for Noah’s party.

We came home, gave the boys baths, and now they are in bed.
