Gillian has a little green blanket that Grandma crocheted for her baby dolls. Gillian uses the baby blanket all the time. A few weeks ago, she brought it too me and said “Can Grandma fix it?” And she held up the blanket. I asked “Gillian how did that happen?” She said with a straight face… Continue reading Baby blanket
Shortly after putting the kids to bed, Gillian walked down the hallway and said “I gotta go to the bathroom.” She did her business and started to walk back to her room. She left the lights on in the bathroom, so I stopped her and said “Did you forget something?” She smiled and said “Payment?”… Continue reading Payment
Gillian “read” Frozen to me tonight. This isn’t her first time, but she was hilarious tonight. Here is Gillian’s version of Frozen: There were two sisters in Arendelle, Anna and Elsa. Elsa makes it snow. And they made an Olaf! But Elsa made Anna shiver! (And she folded her arms and shook). Then the parents… Continue reading Frozen by Gillian
Tonight I gave the kids a bath, John read books to Gillian, and I read a few pages of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Then the three of us snuggled in my bed with Gillian’s manket. John decided to get his Grandma blanket so we could all get under it. After about thirty… Continue reading The fortune
The kids went to bed a little after 8 tonight. I could hear them still moving around by 8:45. So I went to check on them. Gillian was laying with her feet on her pillow. I giggled and gave her a kiss. She said “You know, I’m backwards!” I laughed. “Yes Gillian I can see… Continue reading Backwards
I sent the kids upstairs to the bathroom for bathtime. I found them sitting on the floor waiting for me. Gillian was hugging John. John looked at me and said “What it’s her? She’s doing it.” Gillian said “What? I just love my brother.” They are so sweet to each other. Before bed they made… Continue reading Kisses and squeezies
I just went to check on Gillian. She was still awake and on top of a pile of blankets and stuffed animals. I asked “Why are you still awake?” She said “My mat is messed up.” I laughed. “Your what?” She again said “My mat. Someone messed up my mat.” I pulled all the blankets… Continue reading My mat
Just a typical Tuesday night with the kids. Picked them up from camp and school, then dinner, a quick visit from Mimi, bath and then bed. I checked on them a little while ago. Love that John is snuggling with Travis, the turtle. And that Spike, the dragon, is protecting Gillian. Sweet dreams kids.
Tonight I was making my bed while the kids were watching one more show before bedtime. I had them sitting on the hope chest while I worked on the bed. John offered “Can I help you?” Gillian said “She don’t need our help!” I said “I’ve can do it myself. Why can I do it… Continue reading Awesome
A couple nights ago, I tucked Gillian in and gave her kisses. I went back to my room and I could hear her crying. I sent Daddy to check on her. He was in there awhile and finally came back to our room and said “Gillian said no one gave her squeezies or kisses.” Well… Continue reading I went to her
