This morning Morry let me sleep since I wasn’t feeling well. I think the boys got up around 8:00. By 11:00 Noah was tired again so we put him down for a short nap. When Noah woke up we drove downtown.
We drove around the 2nd Street district and then ate lunch on South Congress at Home Slice Pizza. Usually you have to wait awhile, but we were able to get seated right away. It was crowded in there, but I guess it just happened that a booth opened up when we got there.
After pizza we went home since Evan and Noah needed naps.
After naps we took Evan out front for just a little bit. He said he wanted to ride his bike, but when we first got outside he wanted to play with the chalk. Yesterday I drew a train track for him on the driveway and wanted to play with the train track again. I added more to the track and then he asked Morry to add “ding dong things.” We realized he meant the railroad crossing arms. Evan pushed his trains along the track some and then he rode his bike to end of the cul-de-sac and back.
For dinner, we went to Suzy’s. Evan had some edamame and then wanted us to teach him how to use chopsticks. I would show him how and pick up some rice. He wanted me to then put the rice in his mouth from the chopstick. He was able to pick up a few pieces of rice on his own, but then he just wanted to play with the chopsticks.
We just gave Evan and Noah baths and now they are in bed.

Everybody's Sick...Again
Hello everyone, this is Morry. Rachel is not feeling well and has gone to bed, along with the boys. The boys, too, are sick. Both have runny noses.
The morning began, for everyone but me (I left earlier to go to work), with the boys getting up around 8am. Both boys had pretty bad runny noses and Rachel hadn't slept well because she didn't feel well. Rachel decided they were too sick to go to the playgroup.
Zayde/Jack fed Noah and then played catch with a football with Evan. Evan scored many touchdowns.
At 11:30, everyone came and met me for lunch. We went over to Hyde Park Bar & Grill. Both boys were well behaved. Evan ate OK. He had some macaroni, crackers, cheese, dried fruit among other stuff. Noah also ate well, as usual. They didn't have a soup and half-sandwich so Rachel only got soup.
After the boys took naps, Zayde and Rachel took them outside in the front. Evan rode his bike some and then insisted that he and Noah go in the bike trailer while Rachel rode the bike. Zayde took some pictures below. When I got home they were still outside. Evan wanted to "play football" with me which consisted of running back and forth across the front yard and then falling on the ground. I have to say, though, that falling-on-the-ground thing is exactly what I used to do. My mom will say that I was always on the ground while playing sports. Then Noah walked in his walker while Evan drew on the driveway with chalk.
For dinner we went to Red Brick Pizza. Evan had a piece and a half of black olive pizza. Noah didn't eat much and was a bit cranky, so Zayde held him the whole time.
Both boys are now in bed and quiet.
Until next time...

Another Cold
Well, Evan and Noah have had runny noses, but this time I got it worse. Last night I was up a lot and today my throat is hurting. I was supposed to go out with Yenis tonight, but I’m not feeling up to it.
Evan went to school today. When I picked him up his teachers told me they read Green Eggs and Ham and made green eggs. Evan told me that he helped mix them up and watched them turn green.
I didn’t do much today. I just cleaned up the house while Evan was at school and then more when I put Evan and Noah down for naps. Evan maybe napped for 30 minutes and Noah didn’t nap at all. Morry came home early and we went to pick Jack/Zayde up at the airport. He got in a little after 5:00.
We all went into the airport to pick up Jack/Zayde. Evan loves going to the airport. He was very excited.
After the airport we went to Logans for dinner. Evan ate lots of bread and a ton of peanuts.

Lots of tutoring
Luckily, we didn’t get any ice last night. Morry was able to drive to work this morning without any problems. It was really cold outside though.
I took Noah and Evan to the library this morning. They have a storytime there on Wednesdays at 10:15. I thought we would try it out. Neither of the boys seemed very interested in the librarian. They were more interested in the other kids and books. Noah kept trying to crawl over to someone else’s stroller that was next to us. He just wanted to play with the wheels. After the storytime we picked out a few books and a kid’s airplane movie to bring home.
For lunch I made quesadillas for Evan and cut gingerbread man shapes out of them hoping Evan would eat them. No such luck. Noah ate a lot of little pieces of quesadilla for both lunch and dinner. At least the quesadillas went in someone’s belly.
At 1:30 Blanca arrived and the homeschool Algebra II student came over and stayed until 4:00. Well, he actually stayed a little past 4:00. I told his mom I had to leave the house by 4:00 to meet another student, but for some reason she couldn’t get there in time. At least Blanca was in the house to wait with him until his mom came. At 4:30, I tutored another student for an hour.
I got home around 6:00. We ate chicken and rice soup I made earlier in the day and some leftovers from the other nights. Evan didn’t eat much, but Noah ate a lot ( like always). Noah had his cereal mix, baby food jar, quesadillas, tomatoes, a few pieces of ham, banana, and dried fruit.
After dinner I made cranberry apple crisp. I was in the mood for it. We’ll eat some in a few minutes when I get off the computer.
Evan and Noah are in bed, but it still sounds like they are still awake. Both have runny noses now… it looks like another cold is coming. ugh

Freezing
So, this morning it was in the 60s when I dropped of Evan, and when I went to pick him up from school a few hours later it was already in the 40s. Now, at almost 9pm it’s 32 degrees outside.
Yenis told me when she brought Kevin in the classroom this morning Evan ran up to them and said he was a firefighter. He had a hat on and was pretending to be a firefighter. When I picked Evan up he was a doctor. He came up to me with a thermometer and wanted to check my ear.
While Evan was at school Noah took a short morning nap and cleaned upstairs. We ate lunch and that was pretty much the end of the morning. Then, it was time to pick up Evan.
Blanca came at 3:00. I was supposed to tutor until 7:30 tonight, but ended up just going until 6:30. One of my students didn’t have homework and therefore, didn’t need my help. That was good since I was worried about driving home in bad weather. I wanted to get home before it got below freezing.
For dinner we had pasta and green beans. Evan didn’t eat much for dinner. All he ate was 2 cups of applesauce. Noah ate well though. He had cereal mixed with applesauce, baby food veggies, regular veggies, hot dog, a little bit of pasta, and cheese.
They are saying we may get some sleet and ice tonight. We’ll see what happens.

Foggy Day
I was planning on taking the boys to the lake today, but it was foggy and drizzly this morning. We went over to Lamb’s to get my windshield wipers fixed. The other day one of the wiper blades just fell off. Since it was rainy today I had to go over there and get it fixed. After Lamb’s we went to the bank. As soon as we walked in Evan started asking for a lollipop. The teller asked him what color he wanted and he said red. By the time I finished depositing my checks and cash Evan had finished his lollipop.
When we got home Noah was really tired so I put him down for a nap. He slept for about an hour while Evan watched Toy Story. For lunch I made Evan sports mac and cheese. While I was getting it ready he ate a ton of pistachio nuts. He kept asking for more. Noah ate well at lunch, but just ate some mac and cheese. That was about it.
I put them down for naps, but didn’t get to take a nap myself since it seemed like one of them was always up. Once Evan fell asleep Noah started making noise. I had to go in his room, change him, and feed him to get Noah back to sleep.
Pretty soon after Morry got home the boys woke up from the naps. We took them outside and I gave them haircuts.
Then, we had dinner. I made crock pot Coke Ham. It was pretty good. We had some dinner rolls with it. Usually Evan eats ham, but for some reason he wouldn’t eat it tonight. He ended up just eating some Lunchables.
Noah went from a crawling position to sitting today all on his own. When I got him from his nap I watched him sit all by himself.
Evan and Noah are in bed now. It seems quiet.
