Father-Son Football Game

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

At 6:34 this morning, I woke up and looked at the time.  My alarm is set during the week for 6:25.  I jumped up thinking my alarm hadn't gone off and went into the bathroom to start getting ready when I realized that today was Saturday.  Luckily I had realized before I woke the boys up.

We stayed in this morning and the boys watched the second Harry Potter movie.

Evan had a birthday party to go to that was a Father-Son football game.  I haven't played football in a long time.  They had rented out an indoor facility that had astro turf for us to play.  Everyone seemed to have a good time.  I was exhausted at the end.  We played football for most of it but at the end we played some soccer.  Evan seemed to have a good time with his buddies.

We came home for a while.  Then Rachel and Noah joined us and we went to Best Buy.  We bought a new vacuum cleaner to replace the one that Rachel sold.  We also ended up buying a new TV for downstairs.  It will be delivered on Wednesday.

We went to Chipotle for dinner.  Both and Evan and Noah ate steak tacos.  It was great.

We stopped at Redbox on the way home.

Until next time...

Lights at Mozart's

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

It was misting this morning so we did not walk to school.  Lizzy seemed upset.  She came in the laundry room as we left.

Around noon, I drove over and got a smoothie from Smoothie King.

By the time we were ready to leave to get the boys from school, it had dried up so we walked and brought Lizzy.  When the boys came up the trail, they saw a cat and stopped and pet the cat for awhile.  During this time, Lizzy got a ton of attention from kids.  At one point, I think four different kids were petting Lizzy at the same time.  She seemed very happy.

We left around 5:15 to go to Mozart's for the Christmas lights.  They put on a light show every hour on the hour.  We met Aaron, Mandy, Jeremy and Nathan there.  This time Noah spent a lot of time with Jeremy.  Jeremy led Noah around the outside deck where they do the light show after it was over.

On the way home, we picked up Yaghi's for dinner.

Evan is doing some homework and Noah is reading with Rachel.

Until next time...

Thrift Store

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

We had our normal walk to school.  For the second day in a row, Lizzy got to see one of her dog friends.

Later in the morning, Rachel went to a Thrift Store and on to Half Price Books.  At the Thrift Store, Rachel was looking for stuff for skiing.  In particular she was looking for snow boots for the times when we are not skiing or snowboarding.  We don't have anything like that.  She said it was absolutely packed.  Rachel found some roller skates for Evan.  Apparently the owners are known as the thrift store nazis.  At Half Price Books, Rachel got some books for the boys.

We walked to pick up the boys from school.  It had gotten colder in the afternoon a bit.

When we got home, Evan roller skated around for a while.

Rachel left to tutor.  I played NHL 15 Hockey with Evan on the Playstation.

For dinner, I grilled hamburgers.

Evan is upstairs in his room and Noah is reading with Rachel.

Until next time...

Low Key Day

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

We walked to school this morning and Lizzy came along.  It was cool but not too cold.  Lizzy saw one of her dog friends and she was happy.

Rachel went to Whole Foods to meet the Pink Ribbon Cowgirls for lunch.  She had a good time.

I ran out and picked up a smoothie at Smoothie King.

We walked to pick the boys up from school but did not bring Lizzy.

In the afternoon, Rachel tutored Audrey.

For dinner I grilled steak and Rachel made fish.  Evan ate the steak and Noah ate a ton of fish and steak.

Rachel is making some sort of dessert right now.  The boys are messing around in my office.

Until next time...

Starting a new school week

This morning we walked to school.  Lizzy was happy.  The boys were good.

Morry worked with Aaron today.  I went for a run.

Morry and I walked to pick up the boys from school.  Evan and Jack walked/rode home ahead of us.  When we got to Jack's house the boys were playing football together.

I tutored this afternoon.

For dinner we had leftover ham from last night.

The boys are about to get ready for bed.

Costco

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning the boys watched the end of Harry Potter.

After that, we decided to make a quick run to Costco.  Well as quick you can possibly go at Costco on a Sunday.  The boys and I split up from Rachel to make it go faster.  I think, all-in-all, we did well.  We bought the boys food for lunch there.  Evan had pizza and Noah had a 1/4 LB hot dog.  Noah ate the whole thing.

In the afternoon, I did some work and Rachel cleaned up.  She threw out a bunch of stuff in the game room and boxed up a bunch of stuff that we'll put in the attic.  We pulled out the big old 36" TV and we'll either give it away or for the next bulk trash pick up put it out on the curb.  We moved the TV from our bedroom into the game room and moved the Wii U up to the game room.  Now the boys don't have to fight over the TV.

The boys also had clean up day.  There wasn't too much fighting although the clean up took forever.

For dinner we had ham and rice.

The boys are ready for bed and in their room.

Until next time...
