This morning Noah was horrible. As I was getting dressed Evan came in my room and asked if Noah was allowed to be eating yogurt in Evan's room. Noah had gotten a spoon and cup of yogurt out of the refrigerator. He opened the lid and had taken a few bites. I told Noah he could have the yogurt but he needed to eat it downstairs in the kitchen. Well, that set him off. He was screaming, throwing a fit from that time until drop off at school. He threw his shoes over the stair railing. He was knocking things over. I had piles of clothes in the hallway that needed to be put in the suitcase. He unfolded those and threw some of those over the railing as well. I could barely get him buckled in his car seat. I was so glad to drop him off at school. I felt bad for Evan. Evan was being really good. He was trying to talk to me in the car, but I couldn't hear anything he was saying.
When I picked up Noah at school he was fine. He was happy to see me.
When we got home we did reading and writing and then the boys played outside for a little bit.
Blanca came at 4:30 and I tutored 2 students today.
Morry gave the boys pasta for dinner. I had the leftovers when I got home.
Evan and Noah were both handfuls tonight. Morry was trying to get them to clean up the game room. By the end both boys were crying. They wouldn't help clean up.
Evan and Noah are in bed now, but still awake.

Lunch with Morry and Back to Tutoring
Around 11:30 we met Morry at work. It took me a while to get the kids out of the house. Both of them were not cooperating.
We went to lunch at Red Robin. The boys ate well and were well behaved. Noah had corn dog and Evan had pizza.
After lunch we came home because the boys were getting cranky. Evan and Noah played outside for a little bit and then I tried to put Noah down for a nap. I could tell he was tired, but he just wouldn't sleep. I gave up and let him play in the game room with Evan.
Gabby came over at 4:00. Evan, Noah, and Lizzy were very happy to see her. I tutored and got home around 7pm.
For dinner we had breakfast tacos. I made them a while ago and put them in the freezer.
In a few minutes we'll get the boys ready for bed.

Back to School - Yea!
Hooray! The boys went back to school today. :)
I had to wake Noah up a little before 9am so we could leave the house. Evan and Noah were both good a drop off.
I was able to do some stuff around the house today. My project now is cleaning up the office/bedroom downstairs. I'm finding all sorts of things. I found some old pictures, an American Airlines wing pin (? don't know where/when that was from), my blue sequin shoes from prom, lots of computer equipment including some 3 1/2 inch floppy disks. What do I do with those? Are there even computers around that can still read them?
Evan was in a good mood when I picked him up, but Noah got really cranky as we were leaving. I'm not sure what set him off. I had to fight him to get him in his car seat. He kept saying he wanted Daddy to do it. Daddy was at work.
When we got home I tried to get Noah to nap, but was unsuccessful.
For dinner we finished the stuffed peppers from yesterday and had some rolls and salad to go along with it.
Evan ate really well. He finished his whole plate of shrimp, tomatoes, spinach, yogurt, and veggie booty.
The boys are eating some ice cream right now and then we are going to get them ready for bed.

Wild Boys
Evan and Noah slept until around 9am today.
I'm feeling a lot better, but still not back to normal so I didn't want to try taking the boys out today.
I started cleaning the office downstairs. I only got through the top shelf of my filing cabinet. I kept getting interrupted.
The boys played outside while I got lunch ready and then again after lunch. They pretended to dig for dinosaur bones.
The boys were really wild and cranky today. I got a call about tutoring and Noah was crying and whining the whole time. I was really embarrassed. I could hardly talk on the phone.
I tried putting Noah down for a nap, but he wouldn't sleep.
For dinner we had stuffed peppers (from the freezer) and mozzarella sticks.
After dinner we took a short walk. I asked Noah to go to the bathroom before we left, but of course he refused. I little bit into our walk he started asking to go to the bathroom. He was able to hold it until we got home, but we had to cut our walk short.
We are about to put the boys to bed. Tomorrow is a school day - the first in a while. It will be nice having the boys at school so I can get some stuff done.

Target and Closets
This morning we went to Target to pick up some organization stuff. Morry got some bins/containers for his office and I picked up some baskets to help me organize the closets in our house.
Today I was able to clean up Evan's closet and the linen closet. Here are some before and after pics.

While I was cleaning the closets Morry and the boys were downstairs watching the Steelers.
Morry made fried rice for dinner and after dinner he took apart Noah's crib. We have had that crib up for a long time.
We are about to put the boys to bed. Let's hope they sleep well tonight and don't give me a hard time tomorrow when Morry goes back to work.

Strep Throat
The boys slept in this morning and I had a doctor's appointment at 10:30pm.
The nurse came in first to take my vitals and immediately did a strep test. A few minutes later the doctor came in and had the results. I have strep. He checked my throat, ears, etc. He prescribed some antibiotics and something else to help my sore throat.
I stopped at HEB on the way home hoping my medicine would be ready, but it wasn't.
When I got home Morry and the boys were upstairs watching tv. Morry had to wake Noah up around 10:30.
A little while later we went back to HEB to get my medicine and then to Scooters (a coffee shop). Morry was hoping to get a Red Bull smoothie there, but they were out of Red Bull. Morry and boys got smoothies and I got a coffee. We sat at a table for a little while. The coffee shop has toys and games for kids. Evan and Noah had a good time playing with this all-in-one wooden board game table. It had lots of different games and pieces.
For lunch we had leftovers.
Evan and Noah didn't nap and both were getting pretty cranky by the end of the afternoon. For dinner the boys had leftover pizza. Morry ran out to get a burger from P Terry's and Subway for me.
We put the boys to bed, but they are still awake and our neighbors are still shooting off fireworks.
