This morning I ran the boys to school pushing the stroller and then ran back home. It was about 3 miles.
Then, I had an appointment for a bra fitting. There's a company here that gives out free bra fittings and bras to breast cancer survivors. The woman I met with was very nice and she gave me 4 new bras to take home.
After that I went to the party store to get some stuff for Evan and Noah's birthday party. We need to get the invitations ready and sent out soon. It will be here before we know it.
Evan and Noah had good days at school. They both were in good moods when I picked them up, but by the time we got home they were both very cranky. I tried to get Noah to nap, but he got very angry and was banging the door against the wall. I made him stay in his room for a little while, but soon let him come out and watch tv in the game room.
Blanca came at 3:45. I tutored 2 students and then met Morry and the boys at California Pizza Kitchen in the mall. After dinner I tutored one more student.
I got home around 9:15pm. Both boys were ready for bed, but not asleep yet. Noah is still talking/playing.
Here is the video from yesterday when we picked up Morry and Evan at the airport.

Back From Florida
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Rachel suggested I post about Evan and my trip to Florida with Zayde/Jack. It was a very fun trip and Evan really seemed to enjoy himself. Evan came back with a full load of stuff including, two baseballs that had been used, a game-used bat, a hat, two t-shirts and a Pirate Parrot stuffed animal.
The first night in Florida, Evan convinced Zayde to get him crab. Evan and Zayde share crab at Anna Maria Oyster Bar. Then, to top that off, Evan was able to coax some ice cream out of Zayde as well.
On Saturday, we drove to Clearwater, Florida to see the Pirates play the Phillies. We stopped at Perkins for breakfast where Evan got a balloon sword and parrot. He seemed to enjoy the game, especially when Neil Walker hit a homerun. He was really cheering. They also had a playground at the stadium and Evan played there a lot. After the game, Evan got change from Zayde and threw it in a fountain outside. For dinner, we went to a pizza place.
On Sunday, the prediction was rain. Rain woke me up in the middle of the night, but it was a beautiful day when we got up. We went to Smugglers Cove Adventure Golf to play some miniature golf. Evan had an absolute blast. We played two round and Evan was extremely enthusiastic after each hole. It was a lot of fun watching him play golf. He even got a hole-in-one and just missed on a few others.
At the game, Evan fell in love with the Pirate Parrot. He made us follow the Parrot around the ballpark. At some point, the Parrot obtained a water gun and he shot Evan with it. Evan thought that was hilarious. He then made us find the Parrot again where he proceeded to convince the Parrot to shoot me - which he obliged. Evan was laughing so hard at all of this. We sat next to a nice woman who was trying to become a baseball reporter. A player at the Pirate City training facility had given her a ball and she gave it to Evan. Evan was very excited by it.
Today, we went over to Pirate City. There are 6 fields, but four of the fields come together at their home plates. You can sit and watch all four fields. The minor leaguers train here. As we were walking in, a player yelled "Here you go" and tossed a ball to Evan over the fence. Then, as we sat watching batting practice, a player came out and walked up to Evan and handed him a bat. A real bat used by one of the major leaguers. It was cracked but it had the players name engraved in it and his number written on the top and bottom. It was still sticky from whatever resin they put on it. Many people were very jealous of Evan for getting a bat. It would not fit in my suitcase so I had to ship it home.
The flight home was uneventful, but Evan seemed to have had a great time in Florida.
At the airport when Evan and Noah saw each other they were giggling and jumping up and down together. They were so hyper. They hugged and hugged until they both fell down. The first fight between the two didn't occur until we were almost home.
They are now in bed.
Until next time...

Little Vacations
On Friday afternoon Noah and I dropped off Evan and Morry at the airport. They went to meet Zayde in Florida for baseball spring training. Noah and I drove to Houston.
Friday night Noah and I stayed at Julie's family's house. On Saturday we stayed at Robbie's family's house. Noah had a good time playing with Dori (5 years old) and he liked playing with Layla's (2 years old) toys.
Sunday morning we met Allon for brunch and then met David and Lisa's family at Herman park.
We did a lot in Houston and Noah had a good time with all of the kids. Here are some pictures and a video.

Cat in the Hat
While the boys were in school I got stuff done around the house and then met Morry for lunch.
Today in Evan's class they had a Cat in the Hat party. When I picked up Evan he was wearing a hat and had cat whiskers painted on his face. Both boys had a good day at school.
After school both boys were really cranky. Noah actually took a nap today.
For dinner we went to a sandwich/yogurt shop called Counter Culture.
We just got home and will get the boys ready for bed soon.

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.

Green Eggs and Ham
Evan's class is learning about Dr Seuss this week in honor of his birthday. Today they made green eggs and ham. Evan's teacher told me Evan came back for multiple helpings. Evan didn't eat much of his lunch because of all the green eggs and ham he ate.
Noah had a good day at school too. His teacher told me he talked a lot. Oh, and Noah will be getting a new head teacher for his classroom. Miss Alexis is leaving at the end of this week and Miss Allison will take her place. The assistant, Terrie, who Noah loves, will still be there.
After school we went to the bank and then to Home Depot. We bought some herb and vegetable plants. I also got more pebbles to fill the area where our grill is.
When we got home I brought all the stuff around to the backyard. The boys helped me carry the plants. I filled the holes near the grill with some dirt I got and then put 4 bags of rocks down. It could still use some more rocks. We'll have to go back another time to get more. I didn't plant anything yet. I might try to do that tomorrow.
Blanca came at 3:45. I tutored just one student today.
I came home and then right away we left again to go to Evan's baseball practice. He did very well today. They worked on quickly throwing the ball after catching it. They also ran the bases.
When we got home around 7:30pm we ate the pulled pork I had made in the crock pot, as well as rice, and broccoli for me.
We just put the boys to bed and Noah is still talking to himself in his room.
