Everybody was kung fu fighting...

Today was quite low-key. I did not go to class and slept until 11:08. I just haven't slept well the past few nights and it finally caught up to me. I slept really hard for about 3 hours this morning and then was much better. Eric went to school though and he brought the boys to daycare.

This afternoon we picked up the kids and I asked about the field trip. Apparently it's not until this Friday. oops, minor detail! So he has something to look forward to this weekend as well. Eric really wanted to take Jared to see "Kung Fu Panda" in Spanish. He saw it with Kyle the day before we left for Monterrey. We had Claudia watch Drew and of course he didn't mind a bit that we left him for a couple of hours. We walked to the movies and had a good time. Their concessions are sooo much cheaper here- and good too! We had our choice of flavored popcorn and we had caramel. We had a large popcorn and 2 large drinks and candy for $9. Coolio. The movie was really cute and Jared was sooooo excited that we were going to see it. After dinner we picked up some KFC since we still don't have any food. We brought it back here and picked up Drew. I don't think he knew we were even gone. We ate and then watched some baseball on tv. Jared and Eric went to play catch and Drew and I went on the roof to look for buses. Of course! We went to the other side of the roof and he was "playing" with some of his new friends he met this weekend. Some kids from Texas State were there and he loved flirting with them as he opened and closed the door to the laundry room. The boys are in bed and quiet and that is much better than the past few days!

This is a much shorter post than the first one I wrote today! I hope you guys could see all the pictures in the Smilebox thingie I made!

Low key day

Today was a good day. The money transfer went through but now I am having difficulty transferring money to Jerram's account. The big pain is that Eric talked to Bank of America before we left and "everything will be taken care of". So he isn't really happy about that. We will get it taken care of tomorrow.

We got our tests back in history and everyone did well. I think that gave them a nice boost. We are covering 300 years this week and it is a lot to have to remember so the fact that they did so well on the first test should motivate them to keep up this week. We also got our history copies so we didn't have to take so many notes and could pay attention to what was going on in class. In our business class there is a lot of work to do. I am not really part of that class because I have already had it and it's not fair to the others when we work in groups or do speeches etc. I feel like the team that I am on has an unfair advantage that way. So I just step back and guide them but that is it.

After class we went to pick up the money from the bank and that was no problem. The only "problem" was that it was really HOT outside! We had walked a ways so of course it was fun to walk back. But there was nothing pressing today so no big deal.

Eric and Jared went to the movies tonight. They saw "The Hulk". They thought the movie was fine and the movie theater was very nice. It's not too far from here so they walked. Drew and I played and played and played some more. He wouldn't let me be! We went upstairs to the roof and played some up there. As you can see from the pictures, he likes climbing into the basket on his stroller. He was putting crayons in there as well. We were getting very creative. When I brought my phone out to take pictures then he had to pose. I know some folks will not like the picture of him with the mirror. I don't know anyone else who ever stood like that in the mirror...

Tomorrow we are going to an art museum so we will pick the kids up early and then head to the bus and go downtown. Should be cool and it is a good outing for everyone. I don't know how much the boys will get out of it but Jared shouldn't mind because he loves hanging out with the kids. He has been doing such a great job here and I am very proud of him. His days are pretty full with daycare and then we try to do things with them at night. He usually reads to me from his Cooperstown book and we talk about all sorts of things. He has two loose teeth on the left side. One on top and one on bottom. He has only lost the two top and bottom middle teeth so it's about time to get these others out of the way! He misses Kyle and we try to keep him busy so the time will go quickly for him. He is supposed to go on a field trip Friday to "La granja de los abuelos" (Grandparents' farm) http://granjalosabuelos.com.mx/. I know you guys may not understand it but you can see the pictures. It looks rather cool to me! I am sure he will have a really good time. We will leave for Zacatecas later that night.

Right now someone is playing their music nice and loud outside. It's not from our apartments but I can hear every word. I love that at 10pm!
