TGIF

Morning:
Gabriel woke up twice. He had a habit of punching when he is trying to go back to sleep or get comfortable. Javi had breakfast, today was animal day at school. He wore a Dinosaur shirt.
I went to school and it seems that Javi put the Aquaman toy in another kids backpack. Being completely honest,  based on reaction I am not totally convinced that is what happened, but whatever.
I talked to his teacher about the box of mystery minis. She said that she did not know which box that was. So, we are back to square one with the missing box. After I went to Jack in the box to try the country sampler, obviously it did not look like it does in the commercial. It was ok. However the egg and sausage wrap was very good.
Came home, continued the laundry.  Played with Gabriel for a bit and fed him, now He is napping. My Mom is picking up Javi and will bring him here.

Afternoon:
So Gabriel woke up, we played. I started to sweep up Javi's play area and under a few jackets i found the missing box with the mystery minis. I am happy that he didn't take them as he did not break my trust by stealing, however I am still a bit disappointed that he kept lying about taking them to school, but that is a conversation that we will have later.
Right now I am waiting for my mom to get here with Javi. Gabriel is napping now. Later I will go out with Javi to get us some food so we can eat before we head out to the Boyz II Men concert. I will also need to go to Walgreens to load up a Clipper card to use tonight.

Nighttime:
Went out with Javi to get dinner and to load sokme money on the Clipper card. We had Darby Dan's sandwiches.  My wife got home we got ready, left the kids with my Mom and we left for the Boyz II Men concert. So on that note, I will fill you in on that tomorrow.
Have a great night folks!

It's Thursday.... You know what that means?

Morning:
Gabriel woke up twice during the night. Around 6 I got up and took him to the other room so he could poop and play for a bit.  He didn't want to finish his bottle so my wife got Javi ready while I was getting ready and I took both boys with me to drop Javi off at school. Today was sharing day, something with the letter A. He took an Aquaman figure.
After the drop off I went to get gas at Costco and picked up Arnel. We ate breakfast at Black Bear Diner and we went over to his house for a bit. His fiance was there and we were all talking for a bit. Gabriel still didn't want to eat so I brought back home and he finally had about 4 ounces.
Next up we are going to pick up Javi at 1:30 and go to Serramonte to find him a shirt for school. We'll see what happens there.

Afternoon:
So I picked up Javi and off we went to Serramonte. Gabriel fell asleep in the car and pretty much slept from 1 pm to 3:50 pm. We had a good time at Serramonte,  he had fried rice, we went to the Disney store, threw a few coins into the little pond they have and finished up at Target.
When we got home, Javi runs in and says 'daddy, Aquaman is not in my bag' which basically told me that he either gave it to someone or someone took it. He doesn't want to say.
Then I asked him to give me my box of mystery minis (Bout 16 of them at $7.99/each) he pretended to look for them.  I asked him to tell me the truth if they were here or if he took them to school, he flip flopped on his answers. Right now I really hope that he did not take them, because if he did, I will now have to be that parent that shakes down his kid before he leaves the house. He still doesn't want to give me a straight answer until my wife gets home.
All I know is that if he did take it, I will be very disappointed. I wish he would have asked so I could explain to him why he can't take them to school, not taking them and basically stealing from me. But We'll see what he says. Even though something tells me I already know the answer.

Nighttime:
Well, dissapoinment is the word of the day. Going to see if he was telling the truth in his ramblings, I'll ask his teacher tomorrow.  We went to Babies R Us and ran into my co-worker Mimi, it was another pleasant surprise.  We talked for a bit, after we went to in-n-out burger. My God-daughter was going to come visit the kids so we got her some food as well. When we got home, she was here. We ate she played with the baby. It's my nephew Andres birthday today, so we called to wish him a happy birthday.  I had texted my sister in law earlier to send him a message for me.
Gabriel had his first rice cereal feeding. He really likes it. I just put him down. Let's see what time Javi goes to bed. Have a few things I want to put in order tonight.
Ended the night watching season 6 of Last Man Standing.

It's hump day

Morning:
Gabriel had a bad night. A little bit of a fever and was a bit restless. Around 5:30 He got up and didn't want to go back to sleep. I took him to the other room and laid down with him,  he played, around 6:10 I gave him a bottle of milk, he pooped, I changed that dirty diaper and rocked him to sleep. I was so tired I fell asleep on the rocking chair with him. I woke up around 7, my wife was getting Javi ready for school. Since Gabriel had the fever (which was gone at this point) for most of the night, we thought it was best for her to stay with him while I dropped Javi off.
I took Javi to school, it was really cold this morning. Reminded him to have a good day and to listen. Later my mom is picking him up to go to my sister's house. I got home, moved the cars, came inside  and Gabriel was in his swing. My wife left for work and I was playing with him for some time. He started to fuss, so by the clock it was close to his naptime. Right now he is asleep. Later going to have lunch here and go visit my mom and sister. Then bring Javi home

Afternoon:
My wife came over and had lunch,  she tried to feed the Gabriel nut he wouldn't eat. After she left I made him a new bottle and he ate it and was out. When he woke up, I got him ready and we went to Target. I ran into my co-worker Mimi and Jon, they were without baby JJ. We talked for a bit and I got my stuff and came to my sister's house. Going to be here for a few hours and then go home.

Nighttime:
I left my sister's house close to 5. My Hulk Funko Pop was delivered. It is the version of the gladiator Hulk from Thor. Ate some chicken soup, hung out with the kids. We bathed both boys, put Gabriel to sleep. I confirmed tomorrow's breakfast with Arnel and I sent out a few emails, while I was playing Madden and listening to Talk is Jericho the Alpha vs Omega  episode.
Gabriel woke up around 10:10 pm, just finished feeding and burped him, now going to put him down. Hopefully tonight is better than the last two.
So it's off to Never Never Land, second star on the right and on til morning.  Good night everyone.

Ruby Tuesday

Morning:
A bit tired this morning. Gabriel woke up around 3:30 for his bottle,  he drank it but didn't want to go back to sleep. So I took him to the other room so he could try to go to sleep. I put him down to play with some toys, he fell asleep eventually. Woke up around 6:45, to eat and poop. Now having coffee, about to head out and drop Javi off to school. Try to hit up Trader Joe's after.
In was able to go to Trader Joe's and some items I needed for later today. Gabriel was great during Javi's school drop off and at Trader Joe's, we came home I changed him, got the clothes from downstairs, fed him and he was out. My wife came over to eat lunch, we had the leftover spaghetti. After I got Gabriel ready to go pick up his brother.

Afternoon:
Picked up Javi and came home. It was really windy out. Made him some Star Wars Mac and cheese, he liked the shapes. I read Green Eggs and Ham to the boys. Gabriel has been very fussy and had not eaten well since his 11:15 bottle. I think that he is irritated due to possible gum irritation. I put some baby gel relief on his gums and he fell asleep.
Right now just hanging out, about to fold some more clothes and see what happens next. For dinner making those chicken burritos and quesadillas.

Nighttime:
Burritos and quesadillas were a success. Haven't lost my touch on those. Washed all the dishes and put away everything that was used. Played War, Go Fish and Connect 4 with Javi. After I went to put Gabriel to sleep. I came out of the room to find my wife and Javi in the kitchen waiting. Javi had been on a 2 day time out from the tablet or tv, I have to say that he did very well. Starting tomorrow we are going to try to limit his tv and tablet intake during the week.
After Javi goes to bed, it's shower time and I will take some time to decompress and go to bed. It was a long day. Plan for tomorrow is drop Javi at school and later go pick him up at my sister's house.
Let's see how that goes.

It's just another manic Monday

Morning:
Some people hate Mondays, I don't mind them. Today it was, well, it is raining. Of course Gabriel decided to give us the gift of poop all over his back. We cleaned him up and started getting ready, my wife for work, Javi for school and me for the day with Gabriel.
It was a tough commute to drop off Javi to school with the rain. Not sure why the rain makes people drive like a bunch of donkeys,  but yeah, it was that kind of morning. I got back home and finished feeding Gabriel, he is taking a nap now. Going to try to watch Bright on Netflix while he naps.

Afternoon:
My wife came home for lunch, she played with thr baby. My Mom was going to have Myrna with her, but it was raining to hard so she only picked up Javi and came over. I changed the wiper blades on my mother-in-laws car (in the rain) moved the cars to the other side of the street.
Javi came home,  I reviewed his weekly assignments for homework and we got Monday's work out of the way. Right now he is playing with the mystery minis that I have. Later I will make spaghetti for dinner.

Nighttime:
So, I made the spaghetti, started to make the chicken that I will use tomorrow for the return of my homemade burritos and quesadillas and started some laundry. Don't know how tomorrow will be with the rain but I hope I can get out to go to Trader Joe's or somewhere to get an onion and maybe an avocado. Right now I am watching Raw and putting Gabriel to sleep, he is tired. About to go out and play with Javi a bit, see if I clean the bathroom, shower and watch some tv.
All in all, today was a good day. Let's see what tomorrow brings.
Update: watched some Seinfeld and played some Madden. Haven't played the game in some time, it was fun beating the Seahawks

Easy like Sunday morning

Morning:
So Gabriel woke up at 3 am for a feeding and close to 6 for another. I gave him the bottle at 6ish, took him down to try to sleep and he let out a good amount of poop. It ran out of his diaper up his back a little, but, like a pit crew, I was able to get him cleaned up. I took him to another room and played for a bit, he took a nap. After I got some coffee, did some house work and now we are cleaning and watching some football.

Afternoon:
So we cleaned up the kitchen, living room and put away all of the Christmas decorations and took those to the storage room. After we went to Serramonte and had sandwiches at Ike's.  They were good, but expensive. After we walked around the mall and for some groceries at Target for the week. Came home,  rested while watching the Panthers and Saints game.
They say a big storm is coming, so we went out to get Javi a rain coat as he starts school again tomorrow. We went to Tanforan and could not find one anywhere, so we settled on one that was in the style of a frog.
I just put Gabriel to sleep, now goingto see what happens next.

Nighttime:
I played with Javi for a bit,  we played a shapes game. I helped him get ready for bed. While my wife put him to sleep, I took a shower, made some food and watched some Seinfeld episodes. Going to watch a few more and go to bed, tomorrow school drop offs begin and a storm is on the way.

It's deja vu all over again

Morning:
I got to sleep in a bit today. My back was hurting due to a contortionist showcase I had to pull last night in bed. Got up, had some coffee and pastries. Then started to clean up a bit. Tossed out a lot of those plastic cups that for some odd reason we keep brining home to clutter. It felt good to get rid of them. Stl have a lot more cleaning and tossing to do. For lunch we are heading out to Masu in San Mateo for all you can eat sushi, after maybe do some shopping for a dish drying rack.

Afternoon:
We went to Masu and had some good sushi. After we came home and hung out. I updated the navigation system in our pathfinder and played with Javi outside for some time. After I saw the end of the Titans  vs Chiefs game, titans pulled off the upset. Now I am playing games with Javi and watching ATL vs LAR

Nighttime:
So, tonight was fun. Had a beer, a few mimosas and since my wife didn't want anymore and there was no cap for the champagne, I had to Andre the Giant that bottle (for those of you who don't know, that means I finished it myself) I played connect 4 with Javi and a quick game of War. We were playing with my mystery mini figures and he went off to bed.
After I took a shower,  now I am watching some Seinfeld episodes and soon will go to bed. Tomorrow has a full to do list of 2 Football games, house cleaning and some handy work, along with getting ready for Monday to do it all over again.
