Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning was very cold for Austin. It was about 23 degrees with significant wind. I don't know what the wind chill was. We drove to school but walked down the trail. Apparently the sprinklers still ran last night and there was ice everywhere on the school property. Huge icicles hanging from the trees. The assistant principal was outside making sure the kids didn't try to slide on the ice. I believe the sprinklers are there to pump rain water out of a retention basin and spread the water around. It's not intended solely to water the grass. They may be automatic when the water level gets to a certain point, but I don't know that.
I had a lunch meeting. Rachel had a lunch meeting to, but hers was meeting Noah at school for lunch. She said he really liked that.
It was still hovering around freezing when school let out so again we drove. The ice was still there and the kids coming out of school were sliding and jumping around on it until someone authority figure stopped it.
In the afternoon, Rachel tutored.
I taught Evan some basic html and he started to make a web page.
For dinner, we had hamburgers cooked on the grill.
The boys are about to jump in the shower.
Until next time...

Class Prez
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Last night there was no blog because our internet was down. This time it wasn't because of our router. The entire city of Austin was down because of a cut fiber line. The line was cut somewhere around 4:30am on Tuesday and they did not restore service until late yesterday evening.
This morning was a normal morning, other than the fact we drove to school. The mornings have been too cold to walk this week.
I worked from home all day.
In the morning, Rachel had some of her checkup tests done. It was close by so it was much more convenient.
In the afternoon, it was still fairly cool, but we walked to get the boys. Evan was late coming out of school. The teacher and the kids he comes out with came out but there was no Evan. Finally Evan came out. Evan told us he ran for class president (within his class not the whole 3rd grade) and he won today. Apparently there was a primary and then a final vote and he won both. He said he made a speech (about him being awesome and a hero) but he was quiet and only his table heard it. So he had to stay a bit late for a meeting with the teacher to prepare for his duties. He has to read something every morning to the class and some other duties associated with being a president. Evan is typically very quiet in class so I'm shocked he'd want to run.
When we came home, the boys were in good moods and they played well.
Rachel left to tutor in the late afternoon. She stopped by HEB on the way home.
For dinner, I grilled shrimp and steak. Evan had just the steak, but Noah had the shrimp and steak.
The boys are about to get into bed now.
Until next time...

End of Winter Vacation
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Winter vacation officially ended at 6:25am when my alarm went off this morning. I had been enjoying sleeping in some.
It was really cold this morning. It was about 27 degrees and the wind was blowing. We decided not to walk.
I met some people for lunch, other than that it was a pretty normal day.
It was around 50 and sunny this afternoon so we walked to pick up the boys. Lizzy came with us. She seemed especially excited to walk today. I wonder if she was looking forward to seeing all her friends.
Our new dishwasher was delivered today. Best Buy is sending someone to install it tomorrow.
For dinner, Rachel made over-baked fried chicken.
The boys are upstairs playing.

Night at the Museum
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
There was no blog last night due to the unfortunate ending to the Steelers game.
I promised the boys that we could see Night at the Museum. We had tried to go see it a couple times but because at least one of us was sick for just about every day since our ski trip, we were never in a position to see the movie.
We saw it at the AMC at the mall. The theater hadn't even opened when we got there (though it should have). The boys did very well before, during and after the movie. The movie was very good. The boys and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
We came home and the boys had lunch. Then I took Evan to flag football practice. He had his second practice (his first was yesterday) for a new team that he's playing with. He had a very good practice and they were using Evan at running back quite a bit. He seemed to be getting a lot of touches.
When we got home, Noah was over at Christian and Connor's house. The twins and Noah came back a little while later and then they all went outside together.
The boys cleaned up before dinner, then we had dinner, and they are back to cleaning.
As soon as they are done they'll have showers and get to bed for their first day back to school following winter break.

Bagel Shop
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
I woke up this morning and came downstairs to do some work. Evan and Noah both were awake and came downstairs with me.
For lunch, we went to Wholy Bagel. We hadn't been there in three weeks. The boys were excited to go with us. Noah ate a ton of lox and capers. The woman working couldn't believe that's what he ordered.
Rachel left from there to go tutor.
The boys and I came home. Shortly after, the doorbell rang. Connor was at the door asking if the boys could come over to their house to play, so Evan and Noah went over there. In fact, Noah basically played with them until around 6pm when Rachel had to go over and get him.
At 4:15, I took Evan to go to Darius' birthday party.
After picking Evan up after the party, I stopped at China Dynasty and brought home food for us. Noah ordered lemon chicken. He did pretty well with it.
Now the boys are about to get ready for bed.

Recovering
Last night we took it easy at home since we are all recovering from whatever flu or cold hit us. We watched movies and had a fondue dinner. The boys stayed up until midnight to watch the ball drop.
Today we took it easy at home.
Aunt Sandy and Uncle Marvin invited us over for dinner. We had a nice time there.
The boys are getting ready for bed now.
