Juan in a Million

This morning for brunch we ate at Juan in a Million. It's a popular hole in the wall Mexican restaurant in East Austin. We waited more than 30 minutes, but it was worth the wait. The boys were very good.

We hung out at home during the afternoon and then went to a birthday party at My Gym. Evan and Noah enjoyed running around there. We had pizza and cake.

At home the boys watched some of the Steelers game with Morry and then we put them to bed.

Last Flag Football Game

This morning Evan had his last flag football game at 9am. We all went to the game. It was a playoff game, but since Evan's team didn't win that was the last game.

We came home for a little bit and then went to lunch at Trattoria Lisina. They added a nice playground outside so the boys played for a while after we ate.

We took it easy at home the rest of the day. Fran played football with the boys.

We ate leftovers for dinner and then I made merengue cookies for dessert.

We just got the kids ready for bed.

Welcome Fran

This morning while Noah was at school I did more straightening up and cleaning in the house.

Morry picked up Fran from the airport and then got home right before I got home with Noah.

Noah loved getting attention from Aunt Fran.

Fran came with us to pick up Evan from school.

Both boys seemed tired this afternoon and they took it easy in the game room.

Evan had another baseball game at 5:45 tonight. His team lost, but they still got to bring home a trophy.

After the game we ate dinner at Carinos.

We just got home and now we'll put the boys to bed.

Shopping with Noah

This morning Noah woke up early. Our neighbor's dog was barking and I'm guessing that woke him up.

Noah and I went to both Target and Walmart today. We got some Halloween clearance items, but also some other things for the house. While we were at Target I bought Noah popcorn and a hot dog at the little cafe they have there. He ate while we shopped.

We went straight from there to the Little Gym for Noah's sports class. Noah really had fun today. At the end of class they called the parents in for a game called "Smash the Cheese". Noah was very excited during the game.

We came home for just a little bit and then it was time to pick up Evan.

After school we went to the park with Evan's friend Ben, his mom, and his sister. We stayed there for about an hour.

When we got home it was rest time. Evan had a baseball game tonight and I wanted to make sure they got some downtime. They maybe had about 45 minutes or so.

Tonight was the first baseball playoff game. Evan's team won because the other team had to forfeit. They didn't have enough players. They still ended up playing a game, but it was just for fun. So now, Evan has another game tomorrow night. We weren't planning on that. That was a surprise.

I took the boys home and Morry picked up food for us from Blue Bamboo.

After dinner we had clean up night. The boys cleaned their rooms and the game room. I cleaned all of the floors both upstairs and downstairs. I mopped and vacuumed.

It was another long day.

The boys are in bed and it's pretty quiet upstairs.

Book Fair

This morning at the school they had a special dads event. They are starting this new group for dads and their kids. Morry got roped into going. Evan heard about the donuts and insisted on going. The event was right before school started. They asked the kids questions to see how much they knew about their dad.

I met Evan during his lunch. I brought Icees for both us. There were a few other parents there as well.

For my lunch, I met the Mom's club at Satellite for lunch.

From there, I picked up Noah and we went to Target. Then, we got Evan at school.

The book fair is going on now at Evan's school. Yesterday, during school Evan made a list of the books he wanted to get. I told him we would go after school today. I let Evan and Noah each pick out a book. Noah choose a 3D Star Wars book and Evan chose a Lego book. They both got a little eraser too.

Gabby came over at 4pm and I tutored.

When I got home we ate dinner. Morry and I had leftover pizza.

We just gave the boys baths and got them ready for bed. Morry is reading to them now.

November Already?

This morning Evan gave Morry a hard time. He must have been really tired and still worn out from last night.

Noah and I went with Morry to drop off Jack/Zayde at the airport.

Back at home, I did a little bit of MB Squared work, cleaned the house, and then Noah and I went to the Wildflower Park. That's where Noah wanted to go. We packed a lunch and ate there. Noah was very good.

On our way home we got gas at a new gas station/market that opened near us. Noah and I went in side to check it out. It seemed pretty nice and convenient if we ever need to run out and just pick up a few things.

Noah and I walked to pick up Evan. Actually, he sat in the stroller. The weather was very nice.

At home I got ready for tutoring and Kim came over.

Evan had baseball practice today. Morry took both boys and then picked up McDonalds for them on the way home. I ate leftover pizza. Noah's finishing his dinner now and Morry and Evan are working on homework.

Pretty soon we'll put them to bed.
