No Games

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

As Rachel mentioned yesterday, we had nothing scheduled for today.  Absolutely nothing.  We didn't have to get up early for a sporting event or a birthday party.  It was nice.  Rachel was going to run the San Antonio half marathon tomorrow but given how busy the fall has been, we decided to take it easy.

The boys slept in a bit.  I think I heard Evan around 8am.  Noah got up closer to 9am.  Rachel and I came downstairs and Rachel made Pillsbury cinnamon buns while the boys played MLB Power Pros on the Wii.

Rachel then went to tutor.  I stayed home and did a little bit of work while the boys continued to play Wii.

When Rachel got home, I left to go to Wings To Go.  Rachel thought I might be able to get more work done out of the house this afternoon.  They had free WiFi there and I could get wings.  They also had college football on.  Despite all of that, I was highly productive.  It was nice.

Meanwhile, Rachel made the boys lunch.  Then they went to the Wildflower Park to play on the playground and they brought their bikes.  The playground in a square in the middle of a neighborhood. So it's a big block but you can see the sidewalk from anywhere in the park.  Rachel had hoped that she could just sit there while the boys biked around.  Evan did well, but Noah needed to be pushed up the hills on his bike with training wheels.  He also was scared on some of the downhills.  He went around once.  Nevertheless, it was good having him get that experience out there.

I got home and played with the boys some.  Then Rachel and I got ready to go to dinner.  Blanca came over to watch the boys while we went out.

We went to a place called Casa Columbia.  It was pretty good.  Rachel got a fruit drink made of this fruit called Soursop. We had it when we were in Costa Rica - the fruit, not the drink.  I had a sip, it tasted good.  The food seemed authentic to me.  It reminded me of food in Costa Rica.  It was good.  We'd go back.

We decided rather than eat dessert out, to go to HEB and buy a frozen pie and cook it here while watching a movie.  The boys were going to bed as we got home.  They were very hyper, though, when we got home.  It seemed like they had a good time with Blanca.

Now they are in bed and we are going to sit down.

Until next time...

Working Today

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Today, I had to go to work. Our latest software was due on Monday, so the powers-that-be wanted us all to work on Saturday. We didn't have to get until 10am though. Evan got up at 7:45 and got himself breakfast. I turned on the tv in the gameroom for him.

I left the house around 9:30. Noah was still in his room. Rachel planned on going to the gym with the boys for a 10:30 yoga class. Unfortunately, Evan threw a fit and caused Rachel to be late. He then refused to go into the children's area. Rachel said he crawled down the hallway to the area and into the area, crying. That caused Noah to cry. Eventually they did fine and ended up enjoying themselves at the gym.

After they were done, they came over the office to see me. I was glad everyone came by. Evan wore his sunglasses into the office even thought it was cloudy outside and obviously there was no need to wear them inside. The people at work all thought the boys were very cute. Noah played with the Nerf football I have at my desk. They both enjoyed themselves.

Rachel took them home and gave them lunch. Neither boy ate very much.

I came home around 3:45 or so. Evan was still up, but we don't really want him to take a nap anymore. Rachel took a nap after I got home. I ended up watching the movie Bedtime Stories with Evan.

For dinner we went to Wings-to-Go. Rachel and I shared boneless Buffalo wings. We got the boys a kids meal to share with chicken nuggets. Neither boy ate that though. Evan did eat a bunch of stuff, including a peanut butter and jelly sandwich out of the diaper bag.

While we were eating, it started to rain really hard. There was thunder and lightning. At one point we thought the power was going to go out.

We got home and put the boys to bed. Evan was complaining that he had a cut on his finger. This may be the smallest cut ever. But he insisted on a band-aid. I'm not sure if this is possible, but I think he may be addicted to band-aids.

Until next time...
