Run and HEB

Noah woke up around 5:30am for some reason. I was able to get him back to sleep and he slept until about 10am.

Once the boys were up and dressed we went for a run. I ran 3 miles and then let the boys walk/run some.

After the run I made a smoothie for all of us and we went to HEB. I had a ton of stuff to buy. We were there for a while.

I got dinner started.

Gabby came at 3:45pm and I tutored.

Morry finished getting dinner ready and I got home around 5:45pm.

I had to leave again at 6:45 to go tutor.

I got home around 8:45. The boys were in bed, but Noah was still awake.

The Zoo

This morning Morry went for a run.

We he got back we packed up stuff for the zoo. It was going to be a nice day today so we wanted to do something outside. I made a picnic lunch while Morry got the boys ready to go.

The zoo was nice and we all enjoyed our picnic lunch. The boys had snow cones for dessert there.

For dinner we went to Red's Porch. The service was terrible. They brought out my food but go the order wrong. The waitress took my food, but we were waiting and waiting. After a very long time she came back and told me they were out of bread and I could order something else. Somehow they had run out of all sandwich bread including hamburger buns. Since we had already been waiting so long and Morry and the kids had finished their food, I just asked for mine to go. They gave us my food free, but I feel like they should have done more. The manager never even came by.

We put the boys to bed once we got home and then I ate my dinner.

Noah is still awake now. It's been 2 hours since we put him to bed.

here's a video from the zoo today.

Susie, Ryan, and Anika

This morning we were able to sleep in a little.

Around noon Susie, Ryan, and Anika came over. We were giving them some baby stuff (crib, changing table, ...) and they came to pick it up.

They took us out to lunch at Home Slice Pizza. We all had a nice time. We had to wait about 30 minutes for a table, but the kids were able to play outside while we waited. Evan made friends with some other boys and they played ping pong together.

Evan ate really well at lunch. He had a ton of pizza. Noah had one slice.

When we got back to the house the kids ran around in the yard while Ryan loaded up the truck.

Below, is a video of the kids playing around and then Evan riding his scooter and Noah on the tricycle.

I tutored a student at the house from 4-5pm.

For dinner we weren't that hungry. The kids had pasta. Morry had pasta and I just had some soup.

We put the boys to bed a while ago, but they are still not asleep.

Running and Running Errands

This morning I wanted to go for a run, but Noah didn't want to get dressed. So, Noah went in his pajamas in the stroller. I'm not sure whether I should fight him and get him dressed or just not fight the battle.

I took Lizzy and had the boys in the stroller. I ran 3 miles in the neighborhood.

Later, we went to Old Navy to get some winter clothes on clearance and then to the bookstore next door. Evan and Noah enjoyed playing with the trains and then they picked out a cookie to share. They always choose the same one - sugar cookie with sprinkles.

When we got home Noah actually took a nap. I put on a movie for him and he fell asleep in his room.

Morry went out to dinner with a friend so the boys and I just had dinner at home.

Morry came home around 8:15 and we put the boys to bed.

They are in their rooms, but not asleep.

Mr. Popular

We got to school late again today. Evan especially likes to stall in the mornings. A lot of time I just don't feel like fighting. I'm going to have to get stricter because he won't be able to arrive late to kindergarten next year.

While the boys were at school I cleaned the house and went to the bank.

When I picked Evan up at school he was playing with Jaden. Jaden told me Evan was his best friend. On the car ride home Evan told me a girl was chasing him on the playground. He and Benjamin had to climb up high to get away from her.

Evan and Noah played outside for a little while at home and it was nap time. Evan was in the game room and Noah watched Evan and Noah videos on the DVD player in his room. Noah did not sleep though.

Gabby has the flu and couldn't babysit. Riley came to babysit at 4pm. We had Riley come about 1 1/2 yrs ago to help me out with Noah. They boys said they had a good time with Riley today.

I tutored and got home around 6:30pm.

We had leftover tacos for dinner tonight.

The boys had baths and now they are supposed to be in bed. They are both still playing around in their rooms.

Sick

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

I stayed home sick today. I've felt very exhausted the last few days and this morning I woke up with a very sore throat and a bad headache. I decided it was best to stay home and give my body a rest. I did work, but I didn't want this to get any worse. My headache is gone but my throat seems to be somewhat congested.

I came downstairs to do some work and Noah got up shortly thereafter. He went into Evan's room and woke him up. They played upstairs for a bit.

Rachel got up and wanted to go running, but it stayed cold here for a while. When it finally got above 40, she took Lizzy and the boys to go running at the lake.

When they got home, the boys played some and then Rachel put Noah in his room and put on a movie for him. Eventually, Noah actually fell asleep.

Rachel went to tutor and I finished up work and sat down with Evan for a bit.

I woke Noah up and made pasta for the three of us.

I just put the boys to bed. Neither are sleeping now.

Until next time..
