Daddy called me on his way home tonight. We were discussing dinner plans when I heard “Hi Mommy!” I said “Hi Beansy!” I then heard her mumble something. And then Daddy said “Well I love Mommy too!” They are so sweet. Daddy told me the rest of the way home they played a little game.… Continue reading Car ride
Tonight, I picked up Gillian from school. In the car I asked “How was your day?” She didn’t answer me. I asked again “Gillian, how was your day?” She said “I don’t want to talk about it now.” Ugh. I hate that. So we sat in silence for awhile until she heard something on the… Continue reading The duck part 2
I brought John to work with me the past couple of days. Sharon asked him on Monday, “Did Santa bring you everything you wanted?” He said “No. And I’m not going to tell you what I wanted.” Sharon laughed about it when she recounted the story to me later. That night when I had both… Continue reading What I really wanted
Daddy picked up Gillian from school today. In the car, she was playing with a Santa Pez dispenser she got for Christmas this year. She asked Daddy “Is my Elsa up there? Can I have her?” Daddy handed her the Elsa Pez dispenser (she also got for Christmas). And Gillian began to play with the… Continue reading Pez
I love talking to the kids in the car. There is something about a car that gives kids the convidence to tell you all kinds of things. Maybe it’s because you aren’t looking directly at them. I don’t know. So today, Gillian and I ran some errands (just the girls). On our way home, Gillian… Continue reading Car conversations

In her cubby was an adorable picture of a penguin. When I… Continue reading Penguin visit
I picked up Gillian from school today. In the car on our way to get John, Gillian wanted to play I Spy again. But I didn’t want to play. I guess she got frustrated with me, so she started to quack. Instead of calling her out on making the noise, every time she would quack… Continue reading The duck
I picked up the kids from school today and as Gillian and I walked out of school, she asked “Can we play I spy?” I said “Of course.” As we drove to get John, we played “I Spy.” Gillian is not very good. So we stick to simple ideas. I started and said “I spy… Continue reading I spy
John has a quiz tomorrow on maps, directions and state facts. I our way home tonight, I reminded him about his quiz. He said “Do I have to study? Cause I know it all. Remember I got all the questions right last night.” I quizzed him anyway. I asked “What is the state animal?” He… Continue reading Never eat soggy waffles
In the car this morning, we got stuck waiting for a train to pass. John looked out his window and said “I think I see an animal.” I saw it too. I told him, “I think that’s a groundhog.” He said “I don’t know. I’ve never seen one. We should look at my animal book.… Continue reading Suburban
